Highly Recommended University in Jamaica/Caribbean

I attended this universal from 2009-2014. It was my best experience education wise. The campus is big, spacious and beautiful. Their IT department is one of the best as well as their Nurses department. Social nights on Thursdays was always something to look forward to. I did not regret going to NCU and I would go there again looking back at the experience I had. Many say UWI and UTECH are better but they all have their pros and cons. The con with NCU is their food as their seventh day they do not offer a wide range of meat kind for lunch. But you can always buy food from the the Cedar Grove community beside them or go into the town which is just a 15mins drive. I hope you found this review helpful!
