Student and Professional Level Competitors within Michigan and nearby state was able to experience cooking in their updated kitchen. There's a dishwashing machine in every room which makes cleaning dirty dishes Convenient. The kitchen is well lay-out to maximize space which is a good experience for students enrolled here. One gets to learn how to work within restricted area. So far the cleanest and organized kitchen I've seen. The cooler is compact but is wide enough to store a variety herbs, vegetables and meat products. Dishes and pots are well organized in racks. Saw a computer lab, vending machine, lounge area and business office. Parking is next to JC Penny. Students from this school have a positive attitude, especially Justin (friendly and helpful), competitive and have great potential in the culinary industry! Thank you Dorsey School Culinary department for your great hospitality and modern kitchen.

To Anyone Considering Dorsey:…read more I was a student at Dorsey in 2009. Tuition for my 6 month program was $5,000. Horrible instructor that did not teach us anything. She just showed up in class. I learned the studies myself from home. Fast forward. Same 6 month program is now $16,000. In 2019 I accepted an instructor position. Three years teaching experience and excellent grades and student surveys where I used to teach. My students at Dorsey are in the A-B grade range. Good instruction confirms this; happily did work from home to enhance the program. It never mattered that I was not paid. It needed to be done for my classes. I always remembered to work hard for them vs my Dorsey student experience 10 years earlier. So overall, as a former student and former instructor, do NOT attend Dorsey. So many issues that a reputable school would not place upon any student. Unprofessional and unethical. How Dorsey remains accredited?? Chapters missing. Labs missing. Equipment missing. Top priority is money. They cannot receive student government loan money (full payment to Dorsey) if not accredited. Quality education matters less. Nothing has changed in 10 years for the better. I would recommend Macomb Comm College. A student deserves a full program and organization. Those loans have to be paid back. The value for your dollar and going into such debt to attend Dorsey? Michigan Board of Education should be made aware of multiple violations. Choose wisely is my advice.

She takes the time to lay a solid foundation of the development of land, major differences between Townships vrs Cities, different types of liens, assessments that may not show up on title, boundary lines, ways to own property, property disputes, old Michigan laws that may affect the land you thought you owned......yes a lot of information that you won't need to "pass a test" but will make you a darn good Realtor! I, to this day, draw on information that she insisted we needed to learn. Don't just pick a Real Estate School that will teach you how to pass a test but one that will give you a solid platform to start a business on. I can't say enough about Lori Chmura and Middleton Real Estate School.

The menu changes weekly. We had the chili, tomato bisque soup with grilled cheese croutons. Our main entree was the salmon BTL sandwich and winter salad. Very good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Credit cards are accepted but only cash for tips. The service from Abigail was excellent. She was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and efficient. The entire staff was wonderful filling our water and taking away our plates. Reservations are highly recommended if you want to be sure to get a table. Hours are limited. Free parking is in in the structure located next to the campus.

So, I'm in the process of completing my Bachelor's Degree through Eastern Michigan University. I…read moredecided it was time to finish, and after speaking with my adviser, I had a short list of classes to go through in order to obtain my degree. One of these classes was a basic level art class that I never took as a Freshman many years ago. My adviser said, to save time and money commuting to Eastern, it would be easier to take it through OCC at one of their campuses during the summer break. So, I started the process of enrolling back in March. It was relatively easy since I would be attending as a guest student from Eastern. I had to drop off paperwork at Eastern for them to deal with so my credits would transfer correctly. I also started by meeting with an OCC adviser at the Auburn hills campus, which is their main location. Once I had the appropriate paperwork complete, (which was easy) I was able to register for class. Fortunately, even if you aren't a guest student at OCC like I was, it seems like an easy process to do to get the ball rolling. I found that the only evening art class was located from 6 to 9:30 PM at the Royal Oak campus, which I wasn't familiar with. It filled up quickly since it's an entry level class and goes towards several different degrees. My tuition was about $400 total for a 3 credit hour class. Quite a bit less since I am used to paying $400 a credit hour at EMU. If I had taken the same class at EMU, it would have been at least $1600, and I would have had to commute to Ypsilanti. Paying one third of the price and driving 10 miles to and from Royal Oak is a lot easier for me! Class was 12 weeks long and started on May 6th, meeting every Monday though July 29th from 6PM until 9:30. The campus is super easy to navigate and they have a free parking garage right there near campus that makes going in and out of the school easy as pie. Police are around, and they patrol regularly. My teacher has a masters degree in fine art, and seems to know his stuff. But, he was kind of a dick the first 6 weeks of class. I loathed going, and bombed my first test. So did most of the class! Teacher was dam near unapproachable and there was literally a screaming match in class over this. One girl cried and left, the other got into it with the professor. It was awful. After this happened, half the class dropped. Eventually, the teacher offered extra credit and became less of a dickhead. Even though the class was way tougher then I had imagined for OCC, I was impressed and frustrated at the same time with the amount of information we covered. I would go here again as a student, but not for a while since I am starting to get burned out on school. I like OCC because it's really easy to register, they have multiple campuses, and are extremely affordable compared to 4 year schools. Parking is free and convenient, and they have a great variety of programs. But, the reason for 3 stars and not 5 was due to the crass nature of my professor, and I sense that different campuses offer different types of programs. Want to major in being an automotive mechanic? Go to Auburn Hills. Want to take an evening class for a requirement over the summer? You may be commuting to highland or the Farmington Hills campus. Oh and in case you are wondering, I survived all 12 weeks without missing a single class. Sat there until 9 PM every Monday. I got an A- in the class. I need several drinks of booze now.

Do you have a stained glass ceiling in need of an artisan? If so, the magical workshop at Merry Go Round Stained Glass is the place for you. John Ellwood, a true glass craftsman and wizard of color and light, and his talented team restored for us three giant (60" x 38") stained glass panels from the 1880s that were rescued from an elegant home in the Midwest. The windows were bowed and in rough shape with broken glass, failing seams, and rebar galore. John Ellwood and his team were able to reconstruct the panels from top to bottom, fixing all issues, and restoring these beautiful works of art to their original glory -- all at a fair price for such a high level of artisanship. So pleased!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelby University! I am so incredibly grateful that I…read morefound this daycare over five years ago. They say it takes a village to raise children and I feel extremely lucky to have Shelby U be a part of my village. They have become family to us! My son started coming here when he was 6 months old and is now in elementary school. He loves going back to the school age room during breaks to see his old teachers and friends. In fact, he ALWAYS begs me to attend extra days! My daughter is two and loves coming here. The teachers take great care of the kids. I drop my children off knowing that they are in wonderful care. The Owner, Kim and Director, April are very helpful, involved and always go above and beyond! The teachers are interactive and have great activities planned for the kids. The playground and gym have fun toys that the kids enjoy! My kids enjoy all the meals and snacks that are served. The whole facility is kept exceptionally clean. If you are looking for a daycare to take excellent care of your kids, I would suggest checking out Shelby University! :)

The teachers are all amazing, the activities/interaction are exactly what the kids want and need, the menus are perfect and it's being ran by the exact people you'd want running a business that has the children and their parents put first. Any negative reviews on this place just seem confusing to me. Makes me think that the people leaving them are the same ones who will never be able to be pleased regardless of any scenario. We're keeping our kids in this place as long as we can. I feel like it's the right place for them and feel that the negative reviews on this place should be overlooked. Bad news travels faster than good news which is wrong on many levels in the world on the internet we're in. The good people of Shelby University should not be judged off 2 "Karen's".

The professors were nice, but hardly any made me think very hard. Not sure if that's because I came from the school of engineering before, I came from a different school or what. The tuition is very high here. The reason I came is because I got a grant from General Motors to come here while working there, and LTU gave me another grant because I worked at General Motors. So I only had to pay for 1/3rd at the end of the day. I would recommend sticking to the school of engineering if you're here, for the reputation at least. The gym could use an upgrading for sure. The equipment was seldom and aged. The graduation ceremony was pretty nice, they had a comedian speak who was pretty funny. The ID cards kind of looked cheap, but the parking was free. Overall it was pretty good for an MBA.
