If you fail a class (could be for any reason) & have to do an appeal don't bother. Dean McInerney will deny it & give you no explanation as to why. Which in the states they are to explain the denial. None of the chain of command cares. They may listen to you but ultimately they will side amongst themselves. The class credits are non transferable so you will have to start over at a different school. So, just imagine being so close to the finish line working so hard to accomplish a lifetime goal, to it being ripped from you forcing you to start over..if you have the mental capacity to do so. Nursing school is hard already, but these leaders in charge solely care about themselves and a paycheck. Couldn't care less about the emotional and mental trauma we endure in nursing school. Don't waste your money or time.

When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large…read moreschool experience. What they may not realize is that while that experience is great for many people, yet others may be looking for a different experience. The ASU West Valley Campus is much smaller than the Tempe Campus yet it's a community where every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and to know many students, staff, and faculty by name just as many faculty and staff can really get to know their students well. It's growing at a fast pace and has transferred over the last decade from a commuter campus to a residential campus with more than 1100 bed spaces in two residence halls and one on-campus apartment complex. The ASU West Valley Campus just turned 40 years old, and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful campus of the many ASU campuses as it includes fountains, gardens, artwork, and so much more. In fact, I've heard before that it was designed in the image of Oxford. It attracts not only students from other campus who choose to take classes at the West Valley Campus but community members to come onto campus for the many special events that are open to the community. Recently, the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences spearheaded a wonderful event open to students, staff, faculty, and community members called the Winter Wonderland, bringing a winter festival experience to the ASU West Valley Campus as more than 1500 people attended. As the campus continues to grow and expand as a part of the West Valley Forward initiative, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings like SANDS and CLCC, a new building will open soon. There is a University Center (UCB) with many ASU student services represented inside along with the Barrett (Honors College) office, the Sun Devil Campus Store, a Multicultural Communities of Excellence space, Cafe West, offices for student organizations such as the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and the Programming and Activities Board (PAB), an art space, various other spaces available to reserve both large and small, a future student space, and more. There is the Fletcher Library with its own Starbucks, the three residential communities, Changemaker Central, a marketplace with Jamba Juice, an academic building with faculty offices (FAB), an ASU Police station, facilities offices, a lecture building, the Kiva Auditorium, the Herberger Youth Scholars Academy building, a thriving field space, and a beautiful three-story Sun Devil Fitness Center. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU West Valley Campus. At the West Valley Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office and the many student services offices at ASU West Valley are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing the continued growth on this beautiful campus in the coming years!

I graduated High school a year early and started at my local community college at age 16. I started…read moreat a major corporation at age 17 for a few days until they realized they had changed their rules to age 18 so I waited a few months until my birthday and then began working. In the meantime I completed my associates degree at my local community college. We had a UOP down the street from work so I started there for a BS in business. I was given a position they considered as working out of classification meaning I should have a degree, but still allowed me to have the position with full pay since I was attending college. The hiring manager sat me aside and told me to drop UOP and transfer to ASU. I was really young and he wanted to help me out. I was kind of like everyone's kid there. He said if I wanted my degree to mean more and wanted to be taken seriously, then I should make the move. I was happy to oblige as back then we didn't have computers at home, and after attending classes in the evening at UOP I then had to meet with classmates in person for group projects several days a week which was wearing me thin. Working in north Phoenix and spending most of my time at work I decided to attend ASU West. Their main campus was too far with all the hours I was already putting in. I was able to complete my MBA with a minor in Business Communication with ease. I sure wish we had online classes back in the day, though the cost for tuition has increased a lot since the 90s so it was worth the brick and mortar experience. Our company paid for most of my tuition with an annual education allowance so I mainly just had to cover my books. I didn't feel I missed out on the large college social campus experience, as I didn't feel at home in that environment. I recommend talking with job fair recruiters on their thoughts based on what direction you are heading for your career. If you are getting into the medical field make sure to find out what the requirements are for the state your planning on work in so you do not waste your time heading a direction that doesn't meet their requirements. Talking with anyone at any age still thinking about college, think of it as an investment. Not just a character building investment but a financial one as well. Are you going to be able to earn the money you put into your education? I seen a lot of older individuals going back and choosing paths that do not have many opportunities, or they will not be able to get the financial investment back in income to cover the years of schooling they paid for. Just something to think about. Over all this school looks good on my resume, their class sizes were small, the counselors were very helpful and knowledgeable, and for me the location was perfect. I liked the smaller campus like my community college.

As someone who values both academic excellence and spiritual growth, ACU is an incredible place for…read morestudents to earn a degree while they learn and grow in their faith. What sets this school apart is how intentionally they integrate faith into every part of the student experience. Every professor is a committed Christian, and they don't just teach -- they mentor, pray for, encourage and genuinely care about their students. At ACU, every student graduates with a minor in Biblical Studies, regardless of major. It's not just about getting a degree -- it's about being equipped to make an impact in the world, rooted in Biblical truth. The small class sizes are a huge plus too! You're not just a number here. Professors know your name, and there's a real sense of community and purpose on campus. Whether you're studying psychology, business, education, or any other program, ACU challenges you to think critically and lead courageously -- all from a biblical worldview. The campus is beautiful, growing, and full of life. Chapel is powerful, student life is vibrant, and there's always something happening and a community to get plugged into. If you're looking for a Christ-centered university that combines rigorous academics, strong values, and a mission to transform culture with truth, Arizona Christian University is the place. It's courageously Christian! Roll Storm!!

So here's the thing. In general, I would say Ottawa has provided me with a great education. The…read moreteachers know their stuff and I had a positive experience in most of my classes and with most of my professors. But that being said I absolutely would NOT recommend going here to a friend. At least not right now while they are so disorganized. I just graduated from Ottawa University's Masters of Counseling program and have been very frustrated and disappointed the last year and a half or so, ever since the longstanding director Dr. Hernandez left. The university has made no attempt to hire anyone else to help, leaving the former field placement director, Dr. Thomas, in charge of his role as field placement director/professor, as well as all the responsibilities of the program director. Clearly, no matter how well-intentioned or how good Dr. Thomas was at his job, taking on more roles than one can reasonably handle is not fair to the students. I have certainly still paid the same amount in the last 1.5 years+, but have gotten considerably less value. Trying to reach Dr. Thomas, whom you need to be in contact with concerning various parts of licensure, has been nothing short of ridiculously difficult. From speaking with other students in classes over the past year and a half or so, I can say with confidence everyone has had the same experience of having a very difficult time getting a response to emails/calls. In fact, someone who walked the stage in May with me (but they had finished with their classes and exams and graduated in December of last year) actually brought a form with him to the graduation ceremony that he needed Dr. Thomas to sign because he was not able to reach him all spring. Not getting that form signed meant his licensure date got pushed back and thus he got paid less at his job, despite meeting all the requirements needed to be a LAC, all because he couldn't get ahold of our program director. Now, after I was told I needed to take my Comp exam in the Spring 1 term in order to have a May conferral (graduation) date, and busting my butt to study in order to do so and passing said exam, I have been told they made an error and that my conferral will be put off an additional 2 months. This means my ability to work and make money as a single mom has also been put off an additional 2 months. To say the administration has been less than helpful would be an understatement.
