My main reason for writing this is because of the financial aid office. Last quarter they really screwed things up for me. Administrators are horrible. Advisors are hard to get ahold of. Financial aid takes forever to help then sends templates that don't apply to the situation. They will screw you out of your financial aid by missing deadlines, especially if you're not the race they like. The last time I was there things were a little better but I don't see that lasting. Some teachers are great which is the only reason to go there but navigating everything else makes this school not worth it. I plan on transferring all of my credits and not graduating at North even though I'm only one class away just because they have screwed me so many times. Such a headache. No wonder their graduation rate is %2 they make it impossible. They are racist and mask that by calling it equity. What a waist of an opportunity to make peoples lives better.

My school book was back ordered from the first day of class! Being on back order made me behind in my reading! The book arrived one week after class started and was the wrong addition! I tried to call to check the status of my book, and no one would answer during business hours. It took me five calls over three days to get them to answer the phone. When I got my "new" book, it had scratches all over the cover and looked used! Plus, I could have gotten it cheaper and quicker through a third party. It is not convenient or useful to the student.

Great teachers, good facilities, awesome tutoring (free!), research opportunities and a wonderfully diverse student body.

I want to say they're trying there best and they're just underfunded but that doesn't seem like the case. Too many teachers are flippant about handing out bad grades. Usually because they don't have a standard like a rubric or expectations exceed what the class offers. Intuitively, if they retrained more students they would get more funding. Although they seem content, disinterested in feedback, and satisfied with mediocrity. I tried to give a-lot of feedback or bring the problems up but they rarely respond nor care. They just wanted to displace the blame onto the student. I also believe the previous stories, I personally got marked wrong for writing what was off the periodic table (which you're allowed to use). The place does look like a prison and is difficult to navigate. Also advising could use a ton of improvement. Most online colleges also have a function where you can withdraw then enroll intro a different class via online (which should be reasonable especially in the first two weeks). Also they block high school level science class until you're in college level math which is inefficient and doesn't make any sense. Then financial aid services have seem to have made a dramatic improvement from previous post. They're almost the only group of people that reply.

North Seattle College is one of the worst college's I have ever attended. TERRIBLE ADMINISTRATION and staff! The instructors are fine but I bet they must really dislike working there. Financial aid takes FOREVER to get back to you. Anything in their offices take FOREVER to get back to you. All of the staff in those offices are rude and nasty. They could careless about any student. A family member of mine passed from COVID and I needed to drop my class. The school isn't refunding my tuition and the staff could have cared less about my situation. I'm transferring to Shoreline Community College to finish up my degree. The staff at Shoreline Community college care about their students and respond within 24 hours to all emails. North Seattle is a f**king joke of a school.

Covid-Specific review focused on the Food LifeLine service provided on campus: The drive-thru line of cars begins building up before we have arrived (10:40-10:45 am) each Tuesday morning in anticipation of the boxes of produce and occasional offerings of dairy products including yogurt, milk, cheese. The staff are plentiful, efficient, friendly and safe. Each wear masks and gloves, speak to you from a distance through car windows then packing boxes into your car (trunk/backseat as you request) before waving you through to the exit. Of the three visits we have made, we haven't waited more than 15 minutes to get through the line-up.

There's a cool selection of gemstones, crystals, and pendants. I might even buy one next time I pop in. It's just extremely overwhelming. And smells a lot like incense.I was looking for bloodstone and I found it here. I wanted one with more red spots though. I will keep checking back!

Been waiting 5 weeks for my books. No email from them but found out by calling that my financial aid "didnt go through". Called my financial aid and they say it's covered in the system. Not answering phones during their open hours. Assignments piling up and no books. Honestly, do better.

North Seattle College is a good fit if you are: (1) Learning English as a second language (2) Interested in technical training (3) Completing an AA transfer degree The tuition is very reasonable. Most of the instructors are competent; some are outstanding; and some, regrettably, are terrible (teacher online rating services may of be some help here). The campus is well kept up and the classrooms clean, but in need of upgrade in the older buildings.
