鈥淟ocation, Location, Location!鈥 bears an important imprint on an undergraduate education at North Central College. Students cite many 鈥渙pportunities due to location鈥 boasting, 鈥測ou cannot beat being so close to Chicago.鈥 But the Windy City isn鈥檛 the only reason students choose NCC. The school offers 鈥渁 wonderful study abroad program,鈥 as well as 鈥渁 great science department.鈥 Students also enjoy that 鈥減rofessors are multi-faceted individuals, and have a lot to offer.鈥 Most 鈥渁re very dedicated and accessible. They encourage individual research and independent study.鈥 Professorial support of students who want to take the initiative in their studies leads undergraduates to 鈥渇eel that though North Central is not necessarily one of the most 鈥榟ighly selective鈥 schools, it gives you the opportunity to push yourself to whatever academic level you desire.鈥 Students appreciate that 鈥淭he administration makes an effort to get to know as many students as possible.鈥 Some complain, however, that the administration might be too 鈥渇ocused on the future of the school, and not on the present. They worry about attracting students鈥 more than they do about retaining them.
