North Idaho College — Local services in Coeur d'Alene

I've never been so screwed over in my life until I went to this school. I had the hardest time moving from California to Idaho in 2018 and was told I could continue my college education here since I couldn't afford to go to a university. My goal was to pursue a career in I.T. Unfortunately my career is being delayed. I assigned for classes for only one semester and was only taking 4 classes. NIC charged me $5800 just for those 4 classes. My classes were doubled and I was told by my adviser that there were options to finance the balance and I could sign up for a FAFSA for student aid. As excited I was to start my classes, accepting that I could possibly get aid was the worst mistake I've ever made. I wish I never attended this college if I knew I was going to get screwed over so bad. My balance sat as it was. I applied for my FAFSA and everything was submitted and went through. he student self help online portal kept saying I had rewards to be collected and I couldn't see them until I submitted a parents tax return. countless times did I keep going to the financial aid office for help and was told something different ever time about whatever I needed to submit it. I kept trying to get it through countless times. I was told as long as I could submit my fafsa during the 2018-2019 school year, it would go into affect. As frustrated as I was trying o get help he financial aid office always told me something different whenever I tried to bring in a form or whatever they old me to do. eventually trying to keep up with the hassles the NIC finance center sen me an email saying my deb was sent o Williams and Fudge Debt collections agency and hey could no longer hold my balance. y FAFSA will now have no affect and I cant even attend my next semester of school. I just wish I wasn't pressured signing up for those ridiculous classes. For tha one semester my credit got dropped 100 points and now I cant attend school any longer and I'm currently working to pay...

The campus is beautiful and able to be enjoyed by members of the community as well. Most of the professors genuinely want their students to succeed and are good teachers. Not a ton of events and things to do but a good amount given the size of the school. IT is great too and always very helpful. My degree was a little dry by the time it got to me but was otherwise...

Worst college I’ve ever been to. You can tell why they have a 21% graduation rate as soon as you register. They set you up to fail right from the start by giving you too many credits per semester in order to graduate on time. Some of the instructors are cool, but they don’t care about students there or mental illnesses that students may have. Wish I could...
