The Navy Exchange Student serves those at NNPTC, noted for its sheer convenience and location just minutes from the barracks. It is described as a life-saver and very convenient, catering to most needs of students. The store has a good general selection of basic needs, including school supplies, personal hygiene items, snacks, drinks, a decent tech selection, limited gaming stuff, office supplies, and home goods or cleaning supplies. It also has a Class VI for liquor and features a Subway and Panda Express. Reviews mention always friendly employees. Opinions on affordability vary, with some finding decent and very affordable prices, while others feel it is a little overpriced or that snack prices are too high, suggesting the commissary for better selection and prices. Overall, it is considered useful in a pinch and a favorite for its right size and convenience.
The NEX was a life-saver during my son's 12 months at the NNPTC. Always friendly employees, good general selection, and decent prices.

Limited selection, sure, but it caters to most of the needs of your average 18-25 year old. Has school supplies, snacks, drinks, and a decent tech selection. It fits my needs and that of everyone in the vicinity. And taking into account that it's about 5-10 minutes away from the barracks on NNPTC, you can't complain.
