My spouse and child attended. They both liked it a lot. All the presentations and conversations (students, faculty, admin) were very good. By that I mean they were informative, engaging and honest. They answered questions & did not try to sugarcoat or oversell the school. [Both my spouse and child are very sensitive to the over the top pitches & claims. (every other kid is or will be a Nobel) that are frequent at top LACS/ivies/, etc.]

The activities they had (tour panel, reception, pizza, evening concert, etc.) were great.
Child felt very comfortable with NCF. The experience matched what is in the brochures & web site.

The campus is very nice but not flashy at all (no 100 million gym complex, for ex.) a lovely view of bay right on the bay; and Sarasota was great. Restaurants & coffee shops were excellent. Beaches are fabulous.

Generous merit aid, also for OOS. Low cost for so much individual attention from faculty. It will be interesting to watch where the pendulum ends up with child’s decision as other application outcomes are pending.
