Nik Sheats, an electrical technology major from Bangor, chose Northampton Community College (NCC) because he had heard great things from his friends who attended the College and because he wanted to further his education.
He recommends that incoming students considering electrical technology not to take anything for granted, take plenty of notes for each class, take their time, and study over everything they have learned.
“The professors in all the electrical technology courses are phenomenal to work with,” he says. “They help every student with whatever is needed. Do not be fooled; there are courses that seem easy, but these courses have a lot of information to obtain and a lot of notes to be taken.”
Sheats has a visual impairment due to a benign brain tumor, for which he gets chemotherapy treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a challenge he is meeting in succeeding in college.
“My experience at NCC has changed me because it has made me a better man and more open-minded on what the real world will be like when I get a job,” he says.
