As someone who attended a community college (Nassau Community College, Class of 1990) I too benefited from the small and supportive staff and distinguished faculty at my college. It was at NCC where I gained my foundation, that base has sustained me throughout the year, — it was my stepping stone to pursue a B.A. degree. Unlike, many of my classmates I was able to secure a supervisor job while completing my junior and senior years at University at Albany. Another benefit was cost, I graduated with less than $5,000 in federal student loans.
