Student Testimonials

Gabriela Rico

Commerce City, CO
"I am a first generation college student. The biggest obstacle I had in trying to achieve my dream of a college education was money. Coming from a middle class family, it is hard to fund a family and have three children going to college. Money does not come easy. However, I found help through NJC and from my high school counselor to help apply for scholarships. "

"While attending college, I have found a lot of support. My parents are very supportive of me pursuing a college education. They have been there for me since I made my college decision, and they will be there until I get a degree."

"I have also found a lot of support at NJC. I think NJC can offer a lot to students. Free tutoring and instructors that really do care for you and want you to pass their classes. Instructors are there for you anytime you need them. NJC is a great place for an education!"

"Northeastern is a school full of friendly people. I wanted to play baseball, and attend a school close to home so Northeastern was a great place for me to attend. I would recommend Northeastern to other students because it is a great place to start off at because you will take the same classes you would at a bigger school, while having smaller class sizes."

Dove Creek, CO
"When I was a senior, I did not feel ready to go straight to a large university. My high school was very small, and i felt that a university might be overwhelming. I felt that a smaller college would be a better place for me to start out."

"Northeastern offers such a friendly atmosphere that it allows me to feel like I'm not a number, but a student who the instructors care about and want to see succeed. NJC has been a great place for me, and I would highly recommend it to any student, no matter where they are from or how big their high school. NJC is very diverse, and it is a place where any type of student can feel welcome."
