tracyaugustus says "Why not go to Moraine Valley?" about Moraine Valley Community College

tracyaugustus — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:19:09 GMT

I chose to go to Moraine Valley Community College, to further my education. I decided to take 4 classes, one semester, and 3 classes the next semester. The financial aid office really helped me out to get a pell grant, that I not only would'nt have to pay back, but the left over money that I had left over from paying off my school books, and fees, I was able to keep and spend how I wished, was real cool, because I got my payment around Christmas time and spent the extra money on you guessed it Christmas present's for my family. I really felt like I was being paid to go to school, and to further my education. The classes were of about 25 - 30 people, so you basically had to get in where you fit in, but the teacher's are there to help you understand, you just have to want to get the help. The only dumb question, is a question not asked. Although I never liked grammer or high school, I loved going to college, and made the Dean's list both semester's that I attended.

akingslifetime says "Execellent Education Program" about Texas Woman's University

akingslifetime — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 02:57:09 GMT

My daughter attended and received a bachelors degree from Texas Women's University, and I am glad that she transferred after her freshman year to this university. They have several program to encourage students to attended school, they have a lot of serious advisors, that are their to help the students with any problem they may have from studies, to personal, and financial. They have the best financial aid program, and the director, Governor Jackson, helped my daughter obtain some of the best financial aid for our family situation. My daughter had my grandson her last senior year in school, and her instructors worked with her in the classes, both online and inclass sessions, allowing her to take a extra two weeks off without penalty toward turning in her assignments and taking her tests. She was able to work with an on campus group, and still get a small stipend during her pregnancy. I am so glad that my daughter is a alum at this school, and now she is working on her master's.

rmcdono1 says "Kennsaw State University is a great up and coming school!" about Kennesaw State University

rmcdono1 — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 02:49:36 GMT

Kennsaw State University is located about an hour north of Atlanta. A school of 21,000+ students, this school does not have the recognition that UGA and GSU have. (KSU is the 3rd largest school in GA.) Kennesaw is growing and has excellent Education and Nursing programs. Kennesaw does not have a football team but does have excellent basketball and soccer teams. This is a public university that HOPE (GA lottery scholarship) covers the majority of the tuition. The tuition is rising due to "fees" tacked on every semester. They have added a $40 "land aquisition" fee to pay for land they previously purchased. Parking costs $110 a semester and you HAVE to purchase a meal plan in order to pay for the new food hall. Regardless of class rank or commuter status, expect to pay atleast $100 dollars to eat in a crowded and chaotic buffet-style food hall. My costs has risen hundreds of dollars in three years due to the "fees." Kennesaw's financial aid department is difficult to deal with and I advise...

tnblake10 says "University of Mississippi is an amazing school" about University of Mississippi Main Campus

tnblake10 — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:19:46 GMT

The University of Missisissippi is an exceptional school. The campus is beautiful and it is a great place to attend school. It has an outstanding athletic department as one of the main things Ole Miss is known for is the grove. The grove is one of the best parts of football game days and it is quite an enjoyable experience. Ole Miss offers many opportunities for students who attend while Oxford still gives one the feeling of a small Southern town. The faculty and campus makes the University of Mississippi an great college.

naenae23 says "Southwestern is a great college for any student!" about Southwestern Oklahoma State University

naenae23 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:14:57 GMT

This college is excellent. This school is in a nice sized town with a small town feel. The college is not huge compared to the bigger colleges in Oklahoma, and that is nice because your are treated like a person and not just like money. The school is easy to get around and the campus is beautiful. The professors are very helpful and make themselves available whenever they can. I attended this college for 3 years and loved every minute of it. The education and pharmacy schools are among the top in the state. This college features all of the typical things you would find at a major university. There are dorms for any student. There is a very nice student center featuring a cafeteria, bookstore, game rooms, grill, and other things. There are also sports teams and a brand new wellness center that all enrolled students can use. The wellness center is state of the art featuring an indoor pool, walking track, weight and excersise equipment, climbing wall, and many more features. It is an amazing...

groovingurly says "WSU is a great school with great programs and a small pricetag" about Weber State University

groovingurly — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:27:57 GMT

I love Weber State University. It is a great school with great nursing, education, criminal justice, automotive technology, and political science/pre-law programs. There are only a few master's degrees offered at Weber so the tenured professors teach the basic level classes as well as the upper division classes.

The class sizes are small for the most part. I've only had one or two classes with over 75 people and maybe 40% of my classes have 25 or less students. I'm a local student so I only pay 1800 a semester to go to school Out of state is considerably more but still less than the 20,000 many people pay to go to big schools.

They have a great cross country and track team, but the football team is not very good and the basketball team is okay so Weber does not get a lot of press for being a sports school.

The biggest drawback to Weber is that it is hard to transfer your credits from other schools to Weber. There tends to be a run-around from area to area when you have a problem....

rosefaour1 says "Big university education with a small college price!" about Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

rosefaour1 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:56:21 GMT

This university is nestled in the mountians of Mid-western PA. It is the birth place of Jimmy Stewart, star of the holiday classic, "It's a Wonderful Life". This university has 1 main campus and 3 brach campuses. One branch is in nearby Puxytanwaney, one is in Kittanning and one is Monroeville. There are over 100 majors including computer science, nursing, elementary and secondary education and business adminstration. The Monroeville campus offers evening and weekend classes for those wishing to complete theirs classes while they continue to work.

I attended there for nursing and really enjoyed the professors, the campus and the people I met. We attended clincials at near by Indiana hospital as well as in Latrobe, Greensburg and Johnstown. All the hosptials were top notch and my learning experiences were great. I was able to obtain a job a few months after graduating at UPMC Presbyterian.

housss says "Is this what I need." about Academy of Art University

housss — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:32:44 GMT

I am interested in going to a two year college. I noticed this university called academy of art and the university entered my mine just for a few moments and then it was gone. I tell you anything sown in dishonor will be made in honor of the brain of the God. I want to live a life of life indeed and enjoy the finer things in life. I also notice this university could be very expensive. We should not have to pay for the schooling of the God. Everything is free of the world once you start speaking in the hour and living holy and being holy in conversation. I want to attend the sacramento city college and get my aa also called the associate of arts with the kid development program and with the business program. I am interested in the way the God will work with me regarding the studies I take and become a way the truth and the light. I am very happy about the way I live my life anyway and the mighty God does enjoy the way we practiced our way. I like to let the light so shine before men so that...

mdmalone73 says "Capella University is excellent for an academic challenge" about Capella University - MBA

mdmalone73 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:34:11 GMT

Unlike many of the online universities out there, Capella really offers students an academic challenge. The instructors are very careing about their students, but also let it be known from the beginning that they expect nothing but the best performance wise. The admissions staff, as well as the program advisors, also go out of their way to make sure the students have the necessary tools to be successful in their academic program. The financial aid staff also works tirelessly to make sure all avenues are exhausted to secure funding for the student's academic program. I personally can say in the middle of my first academic term I was informed by financial aid that they had actually found additional money for me, which is a positive considering I have been unemployed for the past few months. Finally, I have to say that the IT department is also great. There have been times that I have had issues in the middle of completing assignments and have had to call for assistance. The...

CLOUDYMOMMY says "Everest University online is amazing!" about Everest University Online - associates degree as a paralegal

CLOUDYMOMMY — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 08:01:40 GMT

I am a stay home mom to 2 teenage daughters, and raising my 9 month old grand daughter as well. With the current economy and due to a desire to be more than just a stay home mom/grandma, I decided to go back to school, but needed the flexibility of online education. I researched many different colleges that offered coursesand degrees via online learning, always returning to the Everest University online eduction website. The paralegal course I was looking for was available at their school, and their accreditation was confirmed. After applying online, which was very simple and easy to navigate through, I was given the website address for actual classes. The layout of the online schooling is easy to follow and offers many resources to help you acheive your goals. You are given an online counselor of sorts who always answers any of your questions quickly and with precise knowledge not opinion. The programs vary but seem to be diverse enough to appeal to anyone. You are never alone in your...

redlored says "Western Kentucky University has a great online Computer program" about Western Kentucky University

redlored — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:14:58 GMT

I chose Western Kentucky University primarily because they accepted my all my classes from Madisonville Community College, a KCTCS member. During my last semester at MCC, I was initially considering Murray State University, even filed an application there, but I was not overly excited that the only computer program of study they stressed for transfer was Telecommunications. I am not "hands-on" tech savvy person in terms of performing jobs such as an Network Administrator, or someone who would connect a multitude of computers throughout a building. Thus, when I saw the CIT program that WKU was offering, I was really impressed. I sent a multitude of emails to the CIT department head, Dr. Butterfield, who was very patient and answered my questions.

I applied for admission into WKU and was accepted. As they promised, all of my MCC classes through the KCTCS system were transferrable, and even some of my classes from both Briarcliffe and Nassau Community College as well. In fact,...

anwyllyd says "Southwest Tennesse Community College is a strong 2 yr college." about Southwest Tennessee Community College

anwyllyd — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:01:04 GMT

Southwest Tennessee Community College (Southwest) is a good two year school with a broad range of course options. For serious minded, or gifted students, Southwest provides the Honours Academy, which offers a series of honours courses designed to stimulate the student and engage the class. The Honours Academy also provides the student to graduate with an honours degree and the opportunity to become a part of the Honours Academy/Society at the four year school of their choice, should they decide to further their education.

Southwest does not offer student loans. However, they do work with federal and state grants in an effort to provide as much tuition coverage as possible to their students. There are also several scholarships available to student government members, the staff of the student newspaper, The Southwest Source, student tutors, and others. Students hoping to receive one of these scholarships must meet the appropriate criteria.

kahutchin says "It's great to be a Hawkeye!" about University of Iowa

kahutchin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:14:31 GMT

Welcome to the University of Iowa located here in Iowa City, Iowa. It is a tremendous school with a steller reputation. If you want to study medicine, we are among the greats! We can teach you how to operate on everything from head to toe. If you know someone who is a pain in your anus, we can teach you how to remove their colon.

Ours is a great college town where you can get serious academics to below average alcoholics in the works. Situated downtown, you can get a drink just as easily as you can find a library. Its all up to you what you want to be, what you want to do! One thing is for sure here in Hawkeye land there is lots of room for growth.

It can sometimes feel like a maze but don't let that trouble you. This place is amazing! Keep your wits about you and don't get sidetracked. Although our colors are black and gold, all that glitters is not gold! Many young lads and lasses have come through, handled their business made great friends and made an impact.

You can too!...

kelly0619 says "Immaculata is a great univ. for working adults to get degree" about Immaculata University

kelly0619 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:47:35 GMT

Immaculata is a great university offering a variety of degree options for the working adult. It is not your traditional college experience, but in a good way. You only have to attend classes one evening a week. Also, classes are completed in 5-7 weeks, depending to the credit value and level of course. Tests are more comprehensive rather than memorize and regurgitate. Grading based on understanding, class discussion contributions, homework, etc. Most classes are taught by individuals who work during the day in the profession that they are teaching. For example, IT classes were taught by people who worked as managers in the IT dept. for major corporations. Their real life experiences make the classes more enjoyable and comprehensive. Also, there are many degree options, and you can get an associates degree in as little as 2 years. The staff seem to really care and classmates become quick friends as many people have similar stories, working and want to make the extra effort...

mlazer says "Great neighborhood, no longer catholic too!" about DePaul University

mlazer — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:57:35 GMT

DePaul University used to be known as more of a religious school. Students are still required to take one religious course, however this course can be on any type of religion that the student is curious about. Also, the Pope denounced it's support for the university in recent years supposedly because the university was too supportive of all types of diversity. Students seemed pleased with this fact. DePaul, with two locations, Lincoln Park and downtown, is known for it's beautiful buildings. Lincoln Park is a rather fancy neighborhood, and students may find it difficult to find affordable housing here. Many students are actually commuter studetns, but the number of students commuting seems to have gone down over the years. DePaul also offers university apartments, as an alternative to dorm-style living for upperclassmen. These apartmetns are not your typical university apartments, they're rather nice and fit in well with the beautiful residential neighborhood.

readmyview82 says "At Ottawa University, the professors are well experienced!" about Ottawa University-Phoenix

readmyview82 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:50:37 GMT

At Ottawa University, students are not a number; classes are small. The number of students per class ranges anywhere between 1 and 30. Many professors know their students by name. For the most part, professors at Ottawa University have lots of experience behind them and share their work experience with students. Professors encourage team work by assigning group projects to students. Most professors require only 1 textbook.

For the Masters of Arts programs, students meet once a week and classes are three hours long (they are held from 6:30pm to 9:30pm). Currently, classes are 11 weeks long. However, in 2010 classes will be 8 weeks long, students will meet once a week for 4 hours.

The academic advisors are great; they do more than tell students what classes to take. They keep track of ones progress throughout the program. The advisors are aware of state requirements for counseling in Arizona.

Unfortunately, because Ottawa University is a private University, tuition...

mathewj2006 says "Good school, but outdated." about Fountainhead College of Technology

mathewj2006 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:46:08 GMT

Fountainhead College of Technology is located north of downtown Knoxville. This is a small student body school focused on education of very technical fields. On average you are looking at class sizes of 18 to 25 students per instructor. They offer several majors but are basically confined to Information Technology, Electronics Technology, Medical Coding, or Radiation Protection. The problem I have with this school is their inability to stay current. We are using Windows XP not Windows 7, we are using Windows Server 03 not Windows Server 08, and you can forget about a Linux Distribution outside of their Linux Course. Their IT Manager is used to windows XP and refuses to learn anything else, so don't expect him to support any other OS. Their instructors on the other hand are usually all for upgrading to newer software, what IT guy wouldn’t be, but can't get the support or backing of the upper staff. But their reputation is hard to beat. Who can argue with 6 NSA certifications upon graduation?...

anmlnrs says "Eastern Wyoming College = education with a smile." about Eastern Wyoming College

anmlnrs — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:38:49 GMT

I attended Eastern Wyoming College from 1988 to 1991, and I graduated with an Associates Degree in Veterinary Technology. The program allowed me to obtain experience in the technical aspect of the field of Veterinary Technology as well as giving me hands on experience. The faculty and staff are easily approachable with questions and concerns. They are willing to help you achieve your full potential. Along with Veterinary Technology, the school also offers Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Welding, and other technical degrees as well as providing a stepping stone for furthering your education. The courses offerred at EWC make it possible for someone to obtain the core credits needed for a 4year college, and most if not all of the credits are easily transferrable. As for the Veterinary Technician program, it makes it possible for someone to have a job waiting for them when they graduate, or it gives someone a great advantage if going into Vet school. In any case, I would highly...

vegasbaby1231 says "Uindy is a small community within a large city!" about University of Indianapolis

vegasbaby1231 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:00:00 GMT

I really love UIndy. The school has such a small student body that it feels very homey! Class sizes are very small so students have the opportunity to become good friends with their professors. The campus is also very beautiful and compact so it is easy to move about, especially in the winter! The campus is expanding rapidly to fit the growing needs of its students. The student center was remolded recently and has even more activities and meeting areas for students. It now has six different dining areas that provide students with a variety of options. The student center also has different games and many televisions for students to enjoy between classes. Uindy has a very friendly and devoted staff that are willing to help students with any needs. Campus is ten minutes from the heart of downtown Indianapolis. There are millions of things to do and many classes involve the community and downtown businesses.
