[quote=Anonymous]While I appreciate that not everyone has the same experience, as a recent NCS alum (who attended thanks to financial aid), I have to disagree with a lot of the content posted above. I could go through and refute every point based on my own experience, but I think a wiser tactic might be to urge anyone interested in NCS to GO VISIT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. You don't have to have applied to take a tour with a student tour guide, and there are no admissions people on the tours. I had friends who gave tours almost every day of the week and I am guessing that still happens. Even if you are cynical and think the guides are somehow brainwashed, you will probably get a far different impression of the school that the negativity that is found above.

For what it's worth, I've had a great experience at a small liberal arts college in the midwest that was chosen by me in consultation with my family and my college counselor; it wasn't my first choice (and no, an Ivy wasn't my first choice either) but it was the right choice. I was an A/B student who rowed crew and played in the orchestra. I feel like things I learned at NCS (particularly how to write) have given me an advantage each and every day in college. In the required religion course we studied the five major world religions as well as had substantive discussions about the nature of belief and atheism (if the girl above is a sophomore at BCC she wouldn't have even taken any of the religion courses required for upper school yet). My other religion course was a class on good and evil, more of a moral ethics course.[/quote]
