We are required to be proactive and responsible for our own academic journey within a community of learning. We develop high academic and professional goals while enjoying small classroom sizes with outstanding professors. The administration, specifically the president and provost, are welcoming and have an open door policy towards their students. The standards at Mount Saint Mary's are high, and some programs are more competitive than others. The number of low rated reviews, I suspect, are from those who were unable to be responsible for their own academic progress. MSMU has programs in place to help all students achieve their goals, even after setbacks, failure, or personal crisis. It is a beautiful, safe environment and a place to explore new ideas while achieving professional goals.

I was treated like garbage, all because I actually have a mind and an opinion. The 'big boss' in the department where I worked made it clear that she wanted me to behave as if I'd had a lobotomy. She admonished me for having 'an inner life,' as if we don't all have inner lives. The fact that they tout this place as an empowering place for young women is nothing short of hypocrisy. Don't waste your time, money or energy on this place. Very creepy and sad. I only wish I'd left sooner.

OMG, I stumbled out of my comfortable cozy bed and stumbled into the kitchen. I checked the fridge and suddenly remembered that I am not to eat anything before my ultrasound! I'm fasting until after my ultrasound. Grrrr.. I navigate back to the bedroom and I open my closet and retrieve my bathrobe and head over to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and grab my towel and then jump in. SCRUB SCRUB RINSE RINSE... meh.. repeat? Meh... repeat. Jump out and towel off robe up and back to the bedroom. I see the time of my uber and retrieve my clothes for today. I grab my messenger bag and place my needed things inside. Grrrr.... I might have dozed off, it's like 7:30a and I decide to brush my teeth again. Lol I check my email and see that I'm to arrive 20 minutes early and so I call and adjust my time for pickup. OMG, it actually feels a bit nippy. I grab a old silk windbreaker and head out to meet my driver. Oh no... he's a talker and he's rather annoying. Lol traffic is backed up and my driver is like "WHATEVER ".... I just take a deep breath. I arrive at 1520 and head in... for some reason I don't quite recall where I go for my ultrasound. I'm greeted by a friendly security guard who directs me down the hall to the elevators and I begin to press the button for the lower level when 2 female doctors rush to the elevator and they greet me with a GOOD MORNING. I reply and I ask for the ultrasound department and they literally walk me in the direction of the department and wish me well. I walk up to the desk and was greeted once again with a smile and cordial greeting, extremely professional. I was invited to take a seat and was informed that they were a bit delayed and that I would not be too much longer. I was called probably no more than 10 minutes by Ana a very welcoming and professional technician. I was walked into a lab and handed a gown and asked to remove everything from the waist up and place the gown opening from the back. Another stellar ultrasound. Ana asked about my day and if any symptoms were being experienced? ... Ana was impressed by my ability to hold my breath and ask how I developed this skill. I shared that I swam in grade school and school and jr. high and so on... she shared how as a child she did aquatic dance? She laughed as she spoke of her "Russian coach" ... and how if she felt that you didn't perform to the best of your abilities then she would yell at you and punish you. Lol she was funny, I shared how my coaches would react when we lost and we both chuckled because we just knew. Tomorrow I get to return to keck for my follow up with dr. Lipman and I'm thinking that I might get my covid booster tomorrow. I checked out the pharmacy right here and the wait was about 30 minutes. I was already feeling kinda exhausted. Tomorrow then!

Their location is easily accessible with plenty of parking. Interestingly, the setting is more like a modern office than a traditional campus. Their professors are excellent and supportive. I enjoy the cohort style where I get to know the other students. I highly recommend this option for those who work full time, can work independently, and need a combination of online zoom classes with occasional in-person sessions. As to the negative reviews here, I'm glad I ignored them. Most don't appear to be legitimate students but whiners. Overall, it is a worthwhile program, especially for independent and disciplined students taking hybrid/online education. You learn, earn a valid degree, meet excellent professors and make new friends.

This is a cautionary tale:…read more Cal State LA's downtown location is a nice facility with some programs designed to help you acquire your degree. Unfortunately, their care, cost, and execution are lies. My wife is finishing up her bachelor's degree this semester and has talked to counselors many times during her 2 years as a Golden Eagle. CSULA has waited until now, weeks into her final semester, to inform her that they will not accept a general education class and one of the major courses does not count (which was selected by the program, not her). This means we will pay for the "all inclusive" program and now for additional classes out of pocket for her to finish her degree. I toured schools with her and while CSULA put people out that said they cared, they actually are unable to care for their students because they lack the ability to council them and provide the degree they advertised. If you are considering CSULA's downtown program for convenience, I beg you to consider elsewhere, as they have left us high and dry to pay a premium for these night classes, but also pay for additional classes now that they have mismanaged her schedule over the course of 2 years. It seems it would be easy for educators and administration to admit their fault and offer to correct the problem under the cost of the special program, but instead we have been met with an explanation that amounts to "this is a YOU problem" and a hands off attitude. I hope their professors leave for other schools and their program implodes so that others can learn from great professionals while not getting swindled by what's apparently a greedy administration who has used this opportunity to upsell additional courses. In dealing with many people who can or could choose to fix this problem, Debra Meir is the one with the ability and position to solve this problem. She is largely responsible for being the person who is not accepting school accountability for mismanagement of scheduling, lacking oversight of courses needed, and adding additional cost to an "all in one price" program.
