I wanted to complete my general studies and get an Associate's degree in Liberal Arts so I decided to attend SUNY Nassau. It was also the peak of the pandemic when I graduated from high school so I wanted to stay home close to my family. Nassau Community College fit the bill. My experience has been both exceptional and fun, due to the professors I had the privilege of learning from and the women's basketball team I had the opportunity to play on.
My favorite memories about SUNY Nassau were made on the women's basketball team. I appreciate the coaches and teammates I worked with. My favorite basketball memory would definitely be our season opener and first win against Manhattan Community College. My experience as captain of the team has helped me with my studies by making me more responsible and determined to do well. It has also helped me in life as I built my leadership skills and became a better communicator. I now realize the importance of leading by example.
I completed my first half of Marine Corps Officer Candidate School and plan to complete the rest of my training next summer. After completing my bachelor's degree I hope to pursue a career in the military as an officer.

I am a Liberal Arts major in my second year at NCC. The biggest reason why I chose Nassau Community College is that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after high school and saw NCC as the perfect place to explore that.

I am a marketing major and will graduate in 2025. After a rough start at a large four-year university, I chose to attend Nassau Community College. It has a nice campus, a great community, and besides — my mom went here! My best experience so far has been my in-class presentations.

For my first semester of college, I attended a large university out of state. As the semester went on, I was feeling more and more detached from the experience. After some contemplation I decided that coming back home for college would be my best choice.

My major is Biology and I am in my second year at NCC. I originally came to Nassau Community College because of the smaller class sizes and proximity to my home but the terrific faculty and flexible class schedules are great as well. As a science major, I would have to say one of my favorite experiences at Nassau has been the hands-on work that we do in the labs during biology classes.
