You'll see a building at the back end of the parking lot. That's the school. I was here for a cooking class. Very nice kitchen be perfect for classes. Which is good as I gather they work with Russell's somehow, the building has that name on it too. There's a nice lounge area where we are the food we made. It all seems new and clean etc. if I were a student I'd probably like the environment. I'd definitely like the parking which is super easy.

I graduated from Trocaire College in May of 2018 with a degree in Radiologic Technology. At the…read moretime I entered the school, the program had a great reputation, with teachers and staff that had years of experience at the college and in the field. My class was the first class where they took on almost twice as many students. This meant they had to cut the clinic time in half for us because they no longer had enough sites to place us at. The long time director knew this would have negative consequences for the students and for the field, and because she opposed this, she was fired. After that things really started to deteriorate and a couple long time teachers began their exit. I felt like a guinea pig for almost two years. There was an extreme lack of leadership and many students came out unprepared due to not having enough clinic time. The only real message Trocaire College gave me is that they ONLY care about money. I got a good degree, and afterwards a good job, but for the price you pay you might as well go to a community college where you'll pay 1/3 the price. save yourself the trouble.

The board is wrong to engage in the devil-cult activities in the main offices on Wednesday nights at 10pm. And the local police are wrong to park all their damn vehicles here and give innocent people like me the willies every time we speed, I mean, drive past this campus. Luckily in truth, it's Erie, rather than Errant. It's a lovely modern campus with fantastic, lush soccer fields, located in one of the richest suburbs in the region. It's a much more boring campus than the haunting, impressive campus downtown. When my significant other (at the time) took classes here, I spent a lot of time here too. I even took a class with her myself, partly to not be bored, and partly because I found it interesting. The prices were so shockingly cheap (for American education standards) that it was heart-warmingly affordable. Education should be free, but ECC is close enough to free (depending on what you do) that most people can afford to do something here if they work at the same time. All of the professors I've had the pleasure of meeting, sitting in with, or taking a class under (4 or 5 of them total from all categories) have been very pleasant and interesting. This is very important at any education facility.

I had one who wasn't sure what he was doing but was still helpful. My accounting professor was nothing short of amazing. No star for bathrooms and staying up to date. Very old amenities throughout the buildings and the bathrooms are too out dated. It's a bad time. Plus one star for administration. Always answer the phone, always answer on IM, the online BlackBoard website is nice and has an app. Plus one star for Library. Friendly staff. All new windows 8 computers and always some available. Unfortunately the hours on weekends and summers are very bad. When you're trying to actually learn this can be a great resource and it's terrible it isn't open more often. Minus one star for cutting back from late night courses. I had to arrange to leave work early to be there for the 5pm classes. Barely any are offered after 5pm which is a huge detriment to people looking for an education while working in a real job. Also, computer science doesn't qualify as a science elective?? Is this not the 21st century, it is one of the most important sciences. Many of my professors had worked or still worked at Niagara University, Canisius, and other great schools and have many accomplishments. ECC is a good school but they aren't working hard enough at assisting adults in receiving their education. We can't be at school all day. We need more night courses and better library hours.

I came here and saw Thunderbolts* the other night and now I don't think I'll go back to any other theater! It has that nostalgic movie theater vibe with all the luxuries of the others.

The popcorn and snacks were great and I like how the drink machine was self-serve so I could mix up a cold drink to my liking. I will be moving over near here soon so I will be going here almost exclusively. I can't wait for my next movie night at Flix.

The siren call of Queen of Hearts being down to one card is what brought me to Saint John's bingo…read morerecently for the first time. Knowing that a night with a guaranteed $7K+ QofH payout would be a madhouse, my BFF and I got there early to snag our spot. They have a weekly game on Saturdays at 7pm. The bingo hall is in a basement-level room with stairs to enter. There is plenty of free parking in the church lots. It is not a huge space, but they pack in as many tables as they can to accommodate a decent crowd. I went again the following week, (after not winning the QofH grand prize, boohoo), and there was still a decent crowd, so going early to get a table amidst this hall of dedicated bingo-goers is a good idea. With the tables crammed in, it is hard to maneuver once people start filling the room. The concession window in the back can be challenging to get to in the tight, narrow aisles between tables. But once you make it, they have hot dogs, pizza slices (both pepperoni or mushroom, the vegetarian being a nice option you don't see everywhere), as well as a variety of homemade sheet cake slices for a dollar each (last weekend's pistachio cake and pineapple spice cake slices were YUM), and your usual candy, snacks, coffee, tea and sodas. Admission al la carte is $3 for a three-face, or they offer a $25 packet with nine-faces of all regular and special games included, plus one early bird. On top of those games, they run a special Letter-X game for an additional $2 per card, a special tic-tac-toe game for $3 each, pull-tabs, and as aforementioned Queen of Hearts. Regular round robin games payout from $40 - $100, with specials paying a $200 consolation and up to big progressive wins that have been over $2K. One downside to this hall is, since it is in a basement, there are several pillars that obstruct the view of the called numbers board. For the early bird, they do provide a worksheet to mark numbers and bring back to your seat, so you don't have to stand next to the board if you can't see behind a pillar. I don't love this of course, but if you get here early enough, you can get a spot with a clear view of the board. One perk of this hall though is their frequent player punch card. With every punch, you get a raffle ticket for a chance at a fun raffle basket each week. Ten punches gets you a free early bird. I play at several halls, and don't know of any other that has a free raffle chance each week for loyalty players, so very nice indeed. Overall I like the atmosphere of this bingo hall. It is bright and clean, and although a bit tight on space, the folks crammed in are friendly and fun. And ... drum roll please ... for my second visit I won a regular bingo all to myself and took home forty bucks! A win definitely has a way of making you like a hall more, haha. Even so, I genuinely enjoy playing at Saint John's, and look forward to my next visit!
