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mathewj2006 says "Good school, but outdated."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?...

shannon777123 says "Gold's Gym review, that was very dishonest, i will tell others" about Gold's Gym

Wayne Memorial Hospital

The staff seems so unprofessional, I am afraid to take my kids their unless their is an out of town Doctor on call, which used to be around 2am. They do not use proper procedures in finding what is wrong. They think, run an expensive test, say I can't find nothing and send you home. You know your own body and you know when something is wrong. The wait in the waiting room is rediculous. My husband went to the hospital for testing. He waited 2 hours, went to the testing room and the nurse walked out and stayed gone about 20 minutes, then come back and said; I'm sorry, we don't have time to do your test today. He had been having severe, intense chest pains(that he never had before), feeling like he was gone to pass out form the pain (that he never had happen before) elevated blood pressure (that he never had before) and a recent cholesterol test that revealed very high cholesterol (that he never had before). A test that needed to be performed as soon as possible to...

hopper22 says "Brookeville Inn worth going out to" about The Inn at Brookeville Farms - Brookeville, MD

hopper22 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:39:56 GMT

You can still see remnants of the farm here. The Inn at Brookeville Farms is in a part of Maryland close to the suburbs but still feels rustic. The restaurant is a former farm house that has been added to, It lies on the east side of Georgia Ave., 1.5 miles north of Rt. 108 and downtown Olney.Though the area is getting more and more built up, you still feel in the country here. The inn is, as its name suggests, a one-time farm residence. The upstairs restroom still contains the bathtub. You may be seated in one of many upstairs or downstairs rooms.

The place caters to large gatherings and gatherings and even touts its ability to host wedding receptions and private parties. The inn lies on an estate with plenty of grounds around it and the silo is there. It was once owned by the Brooke family, a one-time prominent local clan that the town was named after.

The menu is small but changed regularly and everything you'll find on it is high class.So you never know what you'll find. We enjoyed...

sxymsuk says "Authentic my ..." about Moes Southwest Grill - Countryside, FL

sxymsuk — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:00:16 GMT

I had heard a lot of good things about this new restaurant chain that had come to town. I have heard from friends and co-workers that it was affordable, fast and friendly. The first time I went this was true the staff and management were polite, courteous, and helpful. The food wasn't too bad, though far from even the supposed tex-mex they claim to be. I have lived in Texas and Moe's is in no way, shape, or form tex-mex! Anyway, as the experience was not too bad and only cost around $10-12 per person I decided that for a work even I would have it catered by Moe's. All my co-workers liked it so I figured why not. We ordered the Fajita Bar with Chicken and Steak, Added the Queso as that is their most addictive item. We requested it to be delivered at 11:00am, they advised me that they were usually a few minutes early to ensure setup in time for lunch. I advised them that, that was fine. Delivery day rolls around, obviously my co-workers were excited, after all free food is never a bad thing.......

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...

chumunga says "The best little resturant around" about Gourmet Cafe - bridgeport, WV

chumunga — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:52:32 GMT

IF you love hoagies and don't want to pay a fortune for them, then this is the place to go. Gourmet cafe is just a little place, not big on decor, no fancy tables, isn't quite but their food is outstanding. They have the best hoagies, whether you want steak, chicken or sausage, you haven't have a good one until you try Groumet. They just have hoagies, they have pasta, fish, steak and much more. You can start you meal off with a bowl of soup or a salad and you won't be disappointed. Everything they make is homemade right their in their kitchen. If you are every in Bridgeport or live in Bridgeport and haven't tried Gourment Cafe now if the time to do it....

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.

chamil says "Alan Hancock College is a very friendly community college " about Allan Hancock College

chamil — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:47:02 GMT

I have been going to Allan Hancock College for a couple of years now, they offer a variety of classes and degrees to choose from. They offer online classes, video & online together, and on campus classes to choose from, which makes taking classes easy to coincide with your schedule. They friendly staff from the admissions office to the teachers. I get financial aid and they were very helpful in getting the information that was needed to get the aid for me to go back to school. I am an injured worker and needed a new degree to see if I can find work in another field, they have a learning assistance program that is wonderful, which the teachers will accomodate you if you need adjustments done to make you comfortable and able to get your goats accomplished. Alan Hancock College is a nice place to start and if you have trouble or need help there is always someone there to answer your questions.

hopper22 says "Smoothie King offers a great variety of healthy drinks" about Smoothie King - North Bethesda, MD

hopper22 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:36:57 GMT

This local edition of a national franchise lies in the food court at White Flint Mall, which used to be upscale but has seen better days. Even the food court is half vacant while it used to be bustling with a variety of ethnic restaurants.

Still, the Smoothie King offers a variety of thick, healthy smoothies, probably the healthiest dessert you can find. Or a large one can serve as a meal or a snack. Take you pick of sizes and flavors and if you want a base with sorbet, ice cream, fruit, or whatnot. For an additional fee, you can get add-ons for vitamins, energy, immunity, etc. But you're bound to find something for your taste.

The chain also offers a punch card allowing you a free smoothie after you buy 12. But you have to ask for it and remember to get it punched. The place also will offer various specials, such as a free smoothie if you buy a $25 gift card for the holidays.

Sometimes the smoothies lack a lot of flavor. But you'll find everything from green tea to low carb to workout...

hopper22 says "El Patio: the only Argentinian game in town" about El Patio - Rockville, MD

hopper22 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:19:22 GMT

This family-owned restaurant calls itself the only place in Maryland serving authentic Argentinean food. Maybe so, but our waitress was from El Salvador. The food is very affordable and authentic. You can start with an empanada filled with any meat or vegetable you want, or a variety of other South American appetizers.

In addition to the beef the Argentina is famous for, the menu features plenty of breaded entrees: fish, chicken or steak. You get you choice of sides, ranging from sweet potato fries to an interesting potato salad. I don't even eat potato salad but I make an exception for this one.

We tried the stuffed chicken entree. To my surprise, it was cold -- supposed to be that way. White meat chicken filled with egg, potato and vegetable. Still, it was quite edible. You can ask for a variety of South American sodas

The place is very small and informal with, of course, a patio for warm weather dining. It's also got a small store selling a variety of Latin American comestibles. It's...

brandi30662 says "Nice school" about ATC

brandi30662 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:18:27 GMT

I have tried a few different colleges to get my degree. I have to say this school is the best so far. Athens tech does a really good job with most everything. They took care of all of my financial aid needs for me with out a single problem. My advisor is a really nice lady. ( I am taking cosmotology ) The only thing that was a little crazy was registration. I was so out of wack I didn't know what to do! ( lol ) However this was the first time I registered or even went to this school. So I don't doubt that most of the confusion was more than likely in my own head being in a new school atmosphere and all. After I found my way around though it all wewnt very smoothly. Everyone there is so polite and well mannered. I'm glad to have chosen such a nice place to go to school. Also, they offer a very wide variety of classes. I was able to even get one of my classes on saturday morning. To me that's pretty cool.

apelhauer says "Great place if you want to go to school" about University of Houston-Downtown

apelhauer — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:15:30 GMT

This is a good place to start and finish. This school is open admission but it helps you get into the swing of getting your education. The enrollment is easy. The financial process is easy and the professors are very helpful. 80% of the faculty has thier PHD. So I would recommend this school if you have to pay for school yoursself or if you come from a family not very helpful in furthering your life. The first semester that i attended this school, i was a late register. My parents were not helpful at all. So this school did alot to get me into the swing of how to get my educational goals reached. I spent alot of time in the english department because the professors are tough,like I said 80% of all UH professors are PHD ,alot of city schools don't have that. This school is inexpensive as far as university prices ,this is the most inexpensive in houston. The student make up is alot of foreign students from other countries,but these are the people that you want as your...

lilladyericka says "Sears should shut down!" about Sears - Cincinnati, OH

lilladyericka — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:30:36 GMT

I bought a bedroom set with sheets and comforter and it was missing sheets so I returned it to customer service to exchange. They told me there was no more of the product so I requested my money back. They told me I could have a store credit! What in the world?! There comforters aren't cheap. It cost me $120 for this and they wanted to keep my money so I could probably buy yet another defective/jacked up product. I don't think so. I called corporate and got my money and will never shop there again.

ejb5056 says "I bleed blue and white/" about Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus

ejb5056 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:15:01 GMT

I love Penn State for so many reasons. I started as a freshman there in 2006 and now I am halfway through my senior year and I am extremely sad and disappointed that I have to graduate and leave this place. Penn State is by far the best party school in the Northeast United States. In 2009 it was rated the number one party school in the country by Princeton Review. Penn State has an excellent football team with lots of tradition and the best College football coach in the country, Joe Paterno. Penn State is about more than partying and football though. They are also a very good academic college and last I checked the business school which I am a student at was ranked 16th in the country! They are also the best in the country for the fast growing field of supply chain which was actually created by Penn State. I would strongly recommend any young high school students trying to decide where to go to college to take a serious look at Penn State. You can't go wrong here.

vortgirl says "Ramapo College doesnt give the best view of an education in NJ" about Ramapo College of New Jersey

vortgirl — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:50:07 GMT

I was a student at Ramapo College of NJ for the second 2 years of my college education. I was very displeased with all the difficulties I had while I was studying there. I was forced to conform to the Liberal views of the professors to get by with decent grades. It was disheartening that students are forced to be closed-minded to new things and only go with what the professors and school officals think. The education I got was based on the oppinions of those teaching me, not what was in the books or what I was supposed to be learning. I was very disappointed with my classroom time and the educational experience that I paid so much for....

cathyorsbun says "Great steaks and unique, enjoyable atmosphere." about Big Jakes - Van Buren, AR

cathyorsbun — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:50:15 GMT

My husband and I first discovered this steakhouse on whim when we just wanted to try something different. We were pleasantly surprised. First by the atmosphere, the by the quality of the food itself. Just recently we learned that the restaurant actually has its own meat plant and they cut their own steaks every day. It's kinda like going to the butcher and having him cook it for you, too! I guess that's why its meat seems considerably better than what we usually have at some of the more familiar steakhouses. Oh, the service was great,too. Laid back, but efficient and friendly. We go at least a couple times a month.

LMH0403 says "USC was a great school for nursing!" about University of South Carolina-Columbia

LMH0403 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:10:35 GMT

The University of South Carolina was a great school for me. I just graduated in May 2009 with a nursing degree. My nursing program was great and really prepared my for my NCLEX exam which I took in June. The best part about the nursing program was the ability to have 4 different hospitals in which to do my clinicals. My professors were great and were really caring. Every hospital provided my with excellent experiences as well.

The best part about USC was the athletic programs. No matter what sport you enjoy watching, USC has them all. I loved going to the football games. The student section is amazing to be a part of. Basketball and baseball games are also great! The new baseball stadium is really something to see!

If you want to go to a school to receive a good education but also to enjoy the athletic programs they offer, then the University of South Carolina is the place for you to go!
