Professors

Student

Excellent nursing program with highly dedicated instructors. Campus is small and tight-night, particularly in cohort programs.

Campus and vibes

Student

North country is convenient for those with families and working full time while still wanting to further their education. I would like staff to have better understanding for students who play the role of care giver to their disabled parents and have to withdraw and hand in a letter from a doctor, instead of putting them on academic probation and denying them financial aid.

Student

North country is an amazing local college I am from saranac lake and being a student here makes housing, transportation, food, etc easier for me! The school is welcoming and offers a variety of programs to apply to.
