The nature is very well taken care of. The campus is designated as an arboretum, so you will find beautiful and rare plant species here. Easily walkable campus, short distance between buildings. Buildings are maintained pretty well. It's easy to imagine yourself going about your college life on this campus. Professors: 6/10. In my experience, I found some gems that knocked 'it' (class discussions, readings, etc) out of the park. Other than those few gems, an unfortunate amount of professors at SU could take a teaching course or two. Experts in their respective fields, potentially, but could use some touching-up on conveying that expertise to students. You will learn-but expect a decent sum of it to truly be on you (unless you 'dig out' the aforementioned gems to help you along the way). Extracurriculars/activities/involvement: 7/10. SU offers many different clubs for students to attend, from a Star Wars lightsaber club, to a club devoted to promoting sexual wellness, to a club just for education program students. How well these clubs are maintained/organized? It doesn't seem to be too well. They are a great place to make friends and connect with others (and snatch some freebies) for sure, though. SU student-run organizations host many different events, such as movie nights, concerts, comedians, and cultural festivals. These are all fun and run pretty smoothly. In each 'program' (education, business, etc.), there are often events and opportunities to meet with people who work in the respective field. Lots of opportunities to immerse yourself in your discipline once you are past your gen eds. Education itself: 7/10. Perhaps as a result of COVID, I have noticed an uptick in professors relaying much of their assigned work to online platforms (think Canvas quizzes, discussion boards, etc.). In my opinion, putting a large portion of the learning online detracts from the education one pays for. This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but worth noting that much of what a student at SU does for learning is delegated to 'MyClasses' (even if the class meetings ARE completely face to face). Even with the online-heavy coursework, I feel as if SU provides a solid education once you work your way through gen eds and make it to your program. If you think of the gen eds as a 'test' or precursor to being welcomed to a program, they are simply something you must work at and complete. SU's gen eds do just that. You will come out learning a bit about the given subject, but you will learn more about time management, communication, and other skills that must be heightened before entering a program. Other/misc.: Parking at SU is rather difficult. Parking system consists of different pass colors with limited passes and parking spots. Class sizes are growing, too. You do not necessarily need a car, most everything around SU is walking distance. If you must bring your car, be ready for walking to and from lots and leaving very early to snag a spot (if you live off campus and drive). Offices (financial aid, parking, etc.) respond very quickly and are relatively easy to work with. Financial aid is very thorough in answering questions and helping you through loan/scholarship/payment questions. The parking office staff, similar to the physical parking situation, can be a bit tricky. Very limited forgiveness or wiggle room if you mess up a bit. Student health center office has been great. They do not bill insurance. Prices are fair and cheaper than what you might pay as a co-pay, with very thorough and caring nurses and office staff. They are fantastic. Please feel free to message me if you would like more advice or thoughts about SU. I enjoy writing (I'm a senior English major at the school) and would be glad to type out some more.

This is the only guitar store in the DC/VA/MD area that carries more than just a sampling of Mooer pedals which are just beginning to gain high respect amongst musicians. Try out the Preamp Live pedal to see what I mean. Their selection of high quality guitar straps is also about the best I've seen anywhere other than in Nashville guitar stores. They seem to carry the full line up of Levy's straps as well as other brands of similar quality. I was also really impressed with their selection of high end guitar picks. If you're looking for a used guitars they have a wide range to choose from whether you are a beginner or a working musician. If you're shopping for a beginners guitar ask one of their employees for advice on what they would buy given a fixed budget. Because they have guitar techs and real musicians working here, they can give good advice. You can find a nice entry level used guitar here pretty easily. I came across several.

I'm torn between rating this a 2 and a 3. I'll start off by saying I danced for about 12 years,…read morestarting as a preschooler up through high school. This was the third studio I danced for in Salisbury, after taking a two years break from dance in middle school. Feet of Fire was relatively new (I believe they were in either their second or third year when I began dancing there). Even in the short amount of time they had been open, I had heard about them and seen them perform, and thought it was some place I'd really enjoy dancing. Since I hadn't danced in two years, I first joined as a recreational student, with the idea to possibly move up into their performance troupe after I got myself back into the swing of things. That's the first con in my opinion: they have a competition team, as well as performance troupe that performs at various events all over the shore. If you're just simply a recreational student with no ties to the performance troupe or competition team, you're just another person who walks in the door a few times a week to take class and pays tuition. That's it, you're really nobody. You have to audition for both teams, and I've heard it's pretty difficult to get in. The dancers are fantastic though, I will give them that. All classes are grouped by age rather than dance experience. This isn't really a good method in my opinion because there may be a mix of very experienced dancers and girls that haven't danced at all, all grouped into one class. The classes are slowed down for the beginners, and as someone with a good deal of experience under my belt, it was a bit frustrating. The class sizes for recreational students is horrendous, especially for the older girls. Anyone over the age of 12 is immediately thrown into the "Teen" class, which can consist of middle schoolers to college age students, and anywhere in between. These classes sometimes push 20+ students, which makes for a cramped dance studio and a slow moving class as others have to catch up while rehearsing. Not sure about the classes for younger kids, but they also have multiple classes for the same age group, so I would imagine they're a bit smaller. So I guess the older girls get the short end of the stick. I was also treated poorly as a student, which is one reason why I left and found another studio after only one year. Most of their dance teachers aren't really qualified; they're just former students who are now teaching classes. To me, that's okay I guess for small children who aren't really "dancing", since classes for preschoolers tend to be more creative movement oriented. But for older students wanting to dance and/or possibly work towards a career, that isn't appropriate. The owner of the studio (and one of the only qualified instructors) works almost exclusively with the performance troupe and competition team members. This studio also offers no form of classical ballet instruction. None whatsoever. I realize not every dancer wants to take classical ballet, I was one of them. But I was forced to take five years of it and I think it really helped me overall in the dance world, since ballet is the basis for basically every style of dance. I think all dancers under the age of 7 should be enrolled in traditional ballet classes, then if they want to branch out into other styles of dance, then at least they have some foundation. I don't know, maybe just my personal opinion. Overall, this studio isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Their performance troupe and competition team are fantastic, but recreational dancing is so-so. If you're looking to become a strong competitive dancer, this is definitely the place for you. If you're just dancing for fun, I'd think about another studio, unless you don't mind being treated like another number. I think they're more focused on the money.

They put on two great, professional shows every year. The training though I feel is lackluster…read more Teacher turnover is very high. They mostly employ college students who graduate or otherwise leave in two years or less, resulting in constant staffing shifts throughout the year. It's hard for kids to constantly jump from one teacher to another, especially mid-year. My other issue is the cost. Monthly tuition for the classes isn't too bad, but some of the other fees are excessive. There's no question in my mind that they increase the price of costumes for their customers. Last year I paid over $200 for two costumes. If you're participating in the spring show, expect to pay a "showcase fee" of $145+. I'm not entirely sure what this includes besides four tickets to the show that you must purchase whether you need them or not, and a concert t-shirt, which wasn't even provided this past year. Was told there was an issue with the order and that they didn't arrive on time - however, that was nearly two months ago and I still haven't heard a peep about it. I also had to hear that info through the grapevine - no official announcement was made to the studio. They also require you to purchase all shoes, tights, and accessories through the studio. A pair of tights alone will run you $16+. I also noticed lots of nepotism, as the owner's granddaughter dances at the studio.

The whole interaction was shrugged off like it wasn't important but when telling a 4 year old they will no longer be in the recital they have practiced months for it is. Will not return and agree with others. The accounting system is outdated and the owner/operator seems to only want the money but does not care about the quality of the program. During class there are no corrections of footwork or the craft of dance.
