Telling the NJC Story
R emember when you returned from your time at Neuchâtel and found that it was not always easy to articulate what you had just experienced? How to sum up typique-Suisse culture, English class with a view of the Alps, or jaunts to Vienna, Paris and Florence on the weekends with friends? People from back home wondered if you were actually serious!

Admission Events for Class of 2014-15
This fall, we will begin actively recruiting students for the Class of 2014-15. If you know of a student who is considering NJC for September 2014, please get them in touch with the Canadian Office to receive materials, notice of information sessions across Canada, and application deadlines.

These ‘pillars’ of the NJC experience help to begin the conversation, but four words could never tell the whole story. The most compelling facts are those expressed by the varied and enthusiastic voices of NJC alumni. It cannot be overstated how important it is to receive referrals from the NJC community and the all-important alumni support at our admission events.
