Student Success – CJay DiPrima ’16
Transferring has been great and easy. Honestly, I think going to Northern Essex and then transferring to a four-year school is the way to go. You get a great education at a great cost. It’s an easy transition into a four-year college because NECC prepares you to be independent.
