I serve in the United States Air Force working on helicopters. In the photo I was part of the Air Force Reserves. I chose Nassau Community College because I heard good things about the education I would get here and because it’s located in my community. My experience in the service continues to help me at the College. I learned a lot of life lessons in the military. Whether it’s speaking in front of people in a communications class or remembering equations for math class my military experience has been beneficial to me.
My fondest memory of NCC is spending time with my friends between classes. Hopefully we’ll soon be able to do that again. Ironically, where the campus sits today used to be an airfield named Mitchel Airfield. Also in those years was the transition from the Army Air Corps into what is today’s air force.

My decision to attend NCC after high school stemmed from a variety of reasons. I had a lack of direction on what career to pursue, and I certainly noted the astronomical tuition costs at the schools that offered me admission. When doing my research, I noticed NCC's commitment towards its students.

I am a first-generation college student and have been paying my way through college. I had previously attended NCC because of its affordability and location. I had such good memories from my first time attending that it made sense to go back to finish my degree. People also recommended Nassau's Surgical Technology program to me because it is one of the best in the area.

NCC was a smart choice for me because I wasn't really sure what my passion was. Nassau gave me a chance to figure it out while not having to carry the financial burden of switching my major should I want to make a change.
