Oh NCTA, the times we've had.
Whether you're vet tech, ag business, livestock, equine, or farming, everyone at NCTA shares a common bond that is unique to that school in particular. So if you did even a month of college time in Curtis, NE put your paws up, because here are 10 unmistakable signs that you went to NCTA.
1. You nearly died climbing the stairs in Ag Hall.
Did anyone else never cease to have an 8 am class on the third floor?!
2. You were extremely intimidated by a white haired female professor who told the best stories.
I won't name any names but she's everyone's hero.
3. You left with a dog, or a kid.
No exceptions, this is the law.
4. There's no addresses, just names for the off-campus houses.
The Rodeo House, The White House, The Gentleman's Club, etc.
5. You know least one of the Frontier County Cops by their first name.
Even if you haven't met one directly, you've heard stories.
6. Co-op food is life.
It's greasy, it's questionable, but its always the best.
7. You can turn any game into a drinking game, or know someone who can.
College is educational in several different ways.
8. You pretty much know everybody.
It's a small school, everybody knows everybody.
9. You handled some sort of animal feces at least once for class.
In the name of science of course!
10. You were part of something.
Nobody blends in at Curtis, everyone is recognized for something good or bad. But everyone shared the common connection of being an advocate for agriculture. NCTA further prepared us to take care of a world of consumers and despite the drunk and dis-orderlies, academic probation, hair-pulling stress over finals, or whatever else you may have individually experienced during your time as an aggie; you have a better and more informed voice because of your time spent there.
