"I liked the environment and knowing that I have a lot of resources to look for when I’m struggling or need help. I also enjoy doing things that I’ve never done before and being able to experience them for the first time." - student from 2018

I came to NJC on a wrestling scholarship. I had other opportunities from various universities, but this matched my price point for school.
