Is this school good enough? Yes it is. The real question is will you work hard enough?…read more I've kept a full time job, been a present husband and dad, no school on weekends and passed 1st & 2nd year classes in good standing. It takes a lot of dedication, focus and time (25-40 hours weekly). Admittedly I'm not the smartest person, far from it. I'm just well applied. If I can do it, so can you. NWCU has some truly great professors or 'law coaches' who put a lot of care and time into their students. If you put your all into studies, follow the supplied monthly timeline, you can pass. That is not to say you will pass, this is a real law school which means it is extremely challenging. I waited two years to write this review and have seen smart classmates not continue, some transfer and others pass without issue. Positives All online, 24/7 ability to access lectures Excellent first year roadmap to follow Whatever you put in you can get out All the tools to succeed are provided Negatives Takes effort to connect with classmates High stress, same as any law school Grading is earned My daily routine has been 5:30 am wakeup to read or write, lectures during commute in both directions, flashcards on lunch break and may a little time after work. Live lectures especially writing classed pushed me though. You have the ability to go above and beyond and listen to sum & substance lectures from prestigious professors from UC Berkley, Loyola Law School, NYU and even supreme court oral arguments. There is a helpful YouTube series by Macy Sue showcasing daily life as an online law student. Lastly, I'm grateful to NWCU Professors for putting the time and effort to help me, it's a pleasure studying law. If you're thinking of applying, do it!

Many will seek to be enrolled in this school because its tuition is significantly cheaper than what…read moreis available to us via the traditional law school route. DON'T WASTE YOUR EFFORT AND MONEY HERE! It is cheap for a reason... it lacks the administrative/human elements required for its students to succeed as they would otherwise at an ABA accredited law school. My first year I completed all required essays and class work however I became severely ill just before final exams. I was hospitalized for four months and came to weigh only 90 lbs. While in the hospital I asked the school if they would allow me to complete my final exams at a later date (perhaps 1-2 months later). They refused and essentially said "TOO BAD FOR YOU!" despite the fact that I was certainly willing to have several doctors vouch for me. I will re-do my 1st year of law school but at a real school where there are those that are truly fair and reasonable.

It helped me prepare for the next journey to Sac State and taught me a lot of what I needed to know. Would recommend SCC for continuing students, high schoolers looking to take college-level courses, or anyone just wanting to further their education and overall knowledge. The one thing that did suck was the parking though.

I've been to four year universities that don't have quality classes and teachers like this place…read more LOCATION & DECOR: Large campus with a traditional University setup, a community area called The quad and buildings within close proximity. Can easily walk around this campus although it doesn't feel small. Across the street from the ever gorgeous Land Park on Freeport and 12th avenue. CLASSES/CURRICULUM: They have courses in graphic design and digital media, aeronautics, theater arts, traditional studio arts, fashion, photography, cosmetology, and of course the general eds. PRICE: $$$ The credits are about $46 per credit. However most students can attend free of charge with proper FAFSA and financial aid forms filled out before each semester. There are unavoidable fees like student representation and something else, but that isn't more than a hundred bucks that I've ever paid and I'm overshooting just to be sure I don't leave anyone astray. There hasn't been a parking fee since everything went online, but I do foresee it returning which is about $40 a semester and half that for motorcycles SWAG/AMENITIES: A lunch hall, student services, disability services, tutoring services, a design lab, a makerspace, auditorium, sports stadium, swimming pool, theater stage, student supply store, veterans resource Center, and much more. STAFF & EXPERIENCE: This place is like that show cheers where everybody knows your name. Staff and faculty truly care about their students. Class is usually max out at 28 in the design and art departments so you really get to know your instructor and classmates over 16 weeks. The level and quality of courses here rival any 4 year university. I completed the design and digital media associates degree program involved of 2019 and have taken two classes per semester since because there are just too many quality classes here to pass up on. The instruction level is the best I've ever received at the collegiate level. I even started tutoring in the design lab just because I wanted to soak up the knowledge and environment a little more and I do enjoy helping others in that way. I have complete freedom to choose the classes that suit my particular needs and every class I take just makes me want to take another class. I'd recommend this university to anyone, especially anyone looking to be in the graphic arts and traditional arts fields. Some of the classes here they don't even teach it for your universities and some of the knowledge you learn here is what they expect you to already know when you get to some of the universities like Sac State.

So I decided to wait a year before leaving a review for the school. Firstly, Samuel Merritt is a…read moreprofessional health school with this Sacramento satellite campus specifically open for nursing students. There are many different programs ranging from ABSN, to ELMSN (FNP and CM), to RN to FNP, and RN to DNP program's; the list goes on but we never actually know how many programs are going on at once. The campus is located on the corner of El Camino in a business-like building. It is one floor and expanding to two floors. A positive of the Sacramento campus over the Oakland is that there is free parking here and that there is no competition between different professions to utilize what campus facilities we do have available. Which brings me into the topic of facilities available. There is NO health center if you have school insurance, there is NO gym, there is essentially NO student extracurricular community, and the financial aid office comes from Oakland to visit every so often. So, as you can see, there are many lacking factors to this campus. The faculty is often changing as well as the administrative staff. We don't find out about a lot of things like preceptorship, NCLEX approval, or clinical placements until last second .... but without that disorder, it wouldn't be a grad school, right? The students here (in all cohorts I've encountered) are amazing though. Everyone is super nice and mindful of one another (:. Plus rent in Sac is a lot cheaper than in the Bay. Feel free to contact me with any questions if y'all may have any! As lastly, just keep in mind to "Trust the program!" I would probably rate the school alone as a 3.5 stars

The current employment director doesn't care for their students' schedules or their health. It's like they have tunnel vision. I told the employment director I that could not attend the career fairs for personal health reasons. All the employment director told me is "Let's see if we can find an alternative." Shame on you, employment director! The current employment director needs to be let go (or be fired) and be replaced with someone who actually cares for people's health and their schedules! When I asked them to not go to confirm with them, they said "the goal is to come for 10 mins. We can stand by the entrance and at the 10 min mark I'll check in." Shame you on you! Plus, we do the exact same things with the employment director every Wednesday. It is so boring and so repetitive. I hope the employment director gets fired (or to be let go) for choosing not to excuse me from the career fair over people's health.

The length was over 2 1/2 years. I started January 2020 and finished August 2022. I would have appreciated the transparency upfront during the admissions process. Some students were there longer than me. I'd recommend clarifying this during the admissions process if you plan on attending this school. The instructors were overall great. Some would go out of their way to schedule one on one tutoring sessions if a student needed it. I really felt that I had support if I needed it. The legal instructors were very knowledgeable in the field and taught skills and tasks that are used in the legal field. I had the pleasure of attending while Linda Gardenhire was Department Chair and then Eric Fernandez when she retired. They were both amazing and supportive throughout my whole program. They were very personable and I felt like they genuinely really cared about the success of their students. I happened to have Eric as an instructor for Contract Law and Advanced Legal Research and Writing. These classes were definitely a challenge for me, I made sure to meet with Eric early on and communicate this to him. He did a great job clarifying and helping me through the challenging assignments. He really pushed me out of my comfort zone and challenged me to be better. The class material mirrors what paralegals do in the field and will help prepare anyone looking to succeed in the legal field.
