The classes are very enjoyable, and fun, and my daughter always looks forward to attending each week. CMA does an excellent job structuring the lessons in a way that keeps the children engaged, involved, and paying attention throughout the entire class. I really appreciate how the learning environment is both educational and playful, which makes it perfect for young children. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into making the lessons interactive and age-appropriate. I highly recommend this academy to any parents looking to introduce their children to music in a positive and engaging way. Also, the two music teachers (Donna Carlin and Mrs. Peg) we've had have been amazing and have over 20 years of experience.

So yes this is also a very bias opinion. I go to and work at this university. Have for six years…read morenow in total and wanted to contrast the opinion from so many years ago. Education: This place is first rate. The professors are some of the best in their fields, the class sizes are around 20 students, and coursework current. In my time as a student here I've been taught by retired FBI Directors, Judges, and professors that hold one if not more doctorates. Classes are challenging but also fair. I really can't say enough about the education here. Life: Drury has a large extracurricular activity catalog. There are tons of groups of various sizes, purposes, and commitment levels. You really can find a group or hobby that fits almost any interest. We recommend them to students to help them adjust to campus life. We also have a thriving Greek organizations but in contrast to the first reviewer who was a student of mine the groups only make up 27 percent of the student body. A large amount buy by no means a most of the campus. We have an outstanding Campus Recreation office and they hosts intramural for tons of sports. Administration: Dedicated to see you graduate and being a good thriving individual in your next adventure. I had to giggle a little at the first review and think back to an 80s Evil Dean character. If you want an honest answer yes you will be ticketed for violating policies and the process is designed around learning outcomes. Plus I challenge you to visit the university website and review their community standards. I'm sure you will find the policies fair and very similar to that of any university or community for that matter. I can honestly say its not a violation factory but when you are working with people who are on their own for the very first time boundaries are often tested. Overall and in a very bias way I am proud to be a Drury student and Staff member. This university has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment that I can take with me the rest of my life and an education that promises to make that life an interesting one.

This is a great prestigious old school that offers a first rate education. The option to take night…read moreclasses instead of overpriced, overcrowded day school courses was for me a no brainer. The night school instructors were all really cool, and understanding if you had to work a long day shift job before you got to class. The professors in general are a bit of a hit or a miss, especially in online courses. Some are excellent, with long histories of teaching and with doctorates degrees that they use to provide the best quality classes every single day, and other professors make your life difficult for no reason, and couldn't care less if you even show up at all. The campus is beautiful and you feel a great degree of history here. I attended here for two years after transferring from another school, and I feel like I never fully explored the place. The campus security is a bit over the top, since I got a parking ticket when I was still enrolling and wasn't yet a student for parking in the wrong direction. I didn't know any better and managed to get it dismissed, but it was a bit of a weird charge. I can't give Drury 5/5, simply because of the price. With a private school, you don't expect tuition to be cheap, but this school is EXPENSIVE. There's really no reason for day school to be so exorbitantly costly, unless you're purely paying for the degree. Outside of the cost, Drury is a good school with good instructors that is generally well worth your time.

Impressive. I have sought out & received services from Academy Of Hair Design for five months now coming in every three weeks booking the services for Hair Color, Cut & style as well as after care instructions between appointments directly from Instructors on the Floor.. all the while the Instructors are checking the progress & finished results of the learning students... Fostering the development & giving the student one on one attention & ownership of their own craft.. Epic!!! I have also received the services of the Student Nail Technicians supervised by the Licensed Instructors every three weeks. Love It!! I loved the stiletto acrylics.. Such perfection.. 4realz!!! During my last appointment I was inspired by the knowledge dropped from the Teacher to the students in a class happening simultaneously while I was receiving nail care.. Knowledgeable Teacher!!!! I could rave all day long about this place.. from the atmosphere & vibe to the Superior Service I've received.. truly.. Special shout out to Samantha!!! Girl you're my hair guru!!!

I have been going to The Academy since 2017, so it is incredibly disappointing to say that I will…read morenot be returning for any services in the future. During my first pregnancy, I was able to have services done at The Academy without any issues. I had my hair done approximately six times while pregnant with my first child, so when I recently scheduled a "pamper day," I had no reason to expect there would be a problem. Unfortunately, The Academy refused to color my hair before an important college event. What was especially frustrating was that I was not given a clear explanation as to why the service could not be performed. I understand that salons and stylists may have policies regarding services during pregnancy, but those policies should be communicated clearly and consistently to clients especially returning clients who have previously received the same type of service during pregnancy without an issue. I understand that every pregnancy and situation can be different, but there are many people who continue to receive salon services during pregnancy. If The Academy has changed its policies, I believe that should have been communicated when the appointment was made rather than leaving me without the service I had planned and needed for an important event. After being a customer since 2017, I expected better communication and consistency. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling very disappointed, and I will be finding another salon for my future hair and beauty services.

Missouri State University sucks when it comes to help international students solve their problems…read more I have been an International Student here for so long and they have never helped me solving any situation. I tried to talk to many people in order to solve my situation but none helped me at all. I went to the presidents office and I was not able to talk to him because he does not take care of students unless you fill out a form online. So do not waste your time trying to go to his office to talk to him and neither to try to find a solution because the lady at front desk told me that he doesn't do that. Supposedly you have to talk to other people to find a solution to your problems but none does it and neither the president Clif. Whenever you call to the international department none is available to help you because they are either out of the office or because they only work from home, except for the front desk students that answer the phone but can not give you a solution for anything. They are all pointing fingers instead of helping you find a solution to your problems. Just let me mention that I have been having this problem going on for 2 semesters so I don't know why they are so negligent i don't know if I should call it an act of racism or discrimination. WORST UNIVERSITY I HAVE EVER BEEN AND SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE.
