My sisters and I all went to St. Michael's. I, however, stopped going here after 5th grade. I was…read moreone of the kids who actually got their dream come true: it was my 5th grade year that the school burnt down. It seemed really awesome at the time: we got two weeks off in the middle of March. But of course, we had to make up for it later, and on top of that, the school was split up different places for the rest of the year while they reconstructed. The 3rd to 5th graders got stuck in a school called Little Flower. It was used mainly for preschoolers, and smelled like a giant diaper pail. They wouldn't let us use their cafeteria, so we had to eat our lunches outside. Doesn't sound terrible until you remember that in March in Ohio there will still be random blizzards. It's not fun to eat your lunch outside in half a foot of snow. We basically didn't learn anything for the rest of the year. When I transferred to Our Lady of the Elms in Akron, I was horribly behind. So behind they stuck me in remedial everything. But hey, it's okay: when I switched to public school my freshman year of high school I was put in advanced everything! Seriously though, even before the school burnt down it wasn't that good. I never learned the capitals. Also, nuns are terrifying, even if they're not trying to be. They also held me back a year (or rather, they wouldn't let me in kindergarten when I should have been) because they "ran out of slots." Uh, what? What hapepned to merit based decisions? This place was/is whack. I'd never send my kids here, that's for sure.

My son has attended since kindergarten, and I only wish the school would go thru Senior Year so they kids did not have to leave where they are comfortable.

We are very blessed to have such a wonderful school for our son.

My daughter enjoys having breakfast in the mornings before class and lunch in the afternoon. Her teacher this year is Miss K, we love her! She is super understanding of our family situation and communicates promptly with us. Any time I ask a question about tuition or something to turn in, I sense no judgement whatsoever and always get the assistance I need. I appreciate the school's core values and everything they are instilling into my child.

I think that overall MUC is a good value for the education that you receive. As with all colleges,…read moresome departments are better than others as far as faculty members and quality of education go so it definitely pays to talk to current and former students that are/were in the programs in which you are interested. That being said, my experience there was largely positive. One of the main advantages of this school is the variety of activities in which you can participate, a possibility that often doesn't exist at larger schools. For example, I was able to play soccer, be a radio DJ, act in some plays and get involved in student gov't...all activities that I think would've been much more difficult to get into had I attended a large school and not been in the theater program, for example. Class size is another benefit. I know the school has grown in recent years so I'm not sure of the current student/professor ratio but when I was there many of my classes only had 10 students in them and the professors were often available for consultation. There are some fantastic volunteer programs offered by the chaplin's office such as the spring break work programs. I found these experiences extremely worthwhile. In addition, there are some great classes offered by the psychology department and open to anyone. One of my faves is a group dynamics course in which you do a group hike through the Adirondack Mountains before school starts and then participate in a class to discuss the experience. The psych dept. also offers a social responsibility class that culminates in a service project trip, generally somewhere in Central America. I would recommend both these programs to anyone as they are both excellent. Despite the fact that OH is largely not diverse, I think that the school does a decent job of attracting diversity through sister school programs and recruitment of foreign students as well as domestic scholarships. Diversity is the first step but I think that there is some improvement that could me made on the multicultural education front so that students get exposed to cultures other than their own. The opportunites for this are there and I took advantage of them, but I think that it should be a larger part of the regular curriculum. One of the downsides of this school is its location. Alliance, OH isn't the best town in the world as far as social options go. However, I can truly say that I never spent a boring night at MUC. The student activities council does a decent job of sponsoring events and I always adhered to my mom's classic mantra of "sometimes you have to make your own fun". If you aren't having fun, you might want to open yourself to the possibility that you are a boring person. Maybe you could dye your hair or something to make yourself more interesting? You can go through your 4 years at MUC and just emerge with a bachelor's degree if that's what you want and I know plenty of people who did just this; but the options are there to make your 4 (or more) years a much richer and satisfying experience.

I was from out of state so i did not have the Ohio background of most people who attended the school however it was an easy place to fit in and get involved on campus. The departments are all rather different in how they operate, however my department, the Poly Sci, was a department that worked well together and had a strong group of potential advisors. Other departments on campus were more willing to let their students figure things out for themselves which resulted in some students failing or not graduating on time. The small class sizes and the education available were very strong at the campus however that is not the only reason people go to college. Overall there are many activities that students can get involved in and i do believe there is something for everything. It also never hurts to have a winning football team. This school should be a serious consideration for anyone in the area.

If I could do it over I would print a pile of worksheets off of a math website and save$1600 over 6 months. In the beginning they acted like they would work with my child's teacher when necessary but their worksheets didn't remotely go along with the local school curriculum and we were only allowed to use part of the tutoring time to go over areas of strugle with current schoolwork. no more than half the session could be used to help with understanding homework or reviewing Problem areas before a test. In short, if you have money to burn mathnasium is ok but for most of us this is a lot of money. I have found by asking around We could dig up a tutor for a lot less money and without getting stuck into a contract. The best tutor Mathnaium had was a high school student. I should have asked myself before we signed up, If it was so good why would they need a contract that locked us up so long.
