Review:

I see a few negative complaints regarding the dissertation process. I suggest you speak to those who got Ph.D.s at traditional state universities: they have the same complaints. A Ph.D. is SUPPOSED to be gruelling.  The dissertation process is the heart of that.  The classes are just prepping you for dissertation.  And there are PLENTY of people leaving state universities as A.B.D. and never completing the dissertation.  So what you describe at NCU is typical. Ph.D. dissertations are demanding, take time, sometimes one has to start over. I met a physics grad student at the University of Oklahoma who had been working on his dissertation for four years!!!  So compare NCU to state universities...
