Student & Graduate Perspectives
Melissa
"I waited years to go back to school because I was scared and nervous. I didn’t want to waste time or money. At NHCC, the professors are the best, you can do everything right on campus, you have research opportunities, and you can get your foot in the door!”
Jeannette
"The night program was neat, because it allowed for working adults like me and people with families to be able to go to school and still continue their daily lives. In my classes, there were traditional students and working parents.”
Liberal Arts Graduate
"North Hennepin is special. My connections, my relationships and my memories, those are the big things to me. If I didn’t have the support that I had outside of school and the support that I had inside of school, I wouldn’t be where I am today."
Elias
"My instructors went above and beyond to make sure we had employment options after graduation. They treat you like a working professional and give you a glimpse into what a career might entail.”
Deb
“I tell everyone I know to go to NHCC. I say, ‘If you want to go back to college, Financial Aid will help walk you through what you need to do. The Advisors help you. Everyone is so supportive.’ I could never express the gratitude that I have for NHCC. They set me on a whole new path.”
