The campus itself is a language school and international campus for Japanese college students to come to Boston to do an exchange student program and at the same time, these students get to practice teaching Japanese to the Japanese language students (as a part of their international exchange student experience) to come to this Japanese language institute that is both a language school and an international college student campus at the same time (at the end of each Japanese language class)! Japanese language students actually get to practice speaking the Japanese language with actual Japanese students who are actually from Japan, plus the Japanese language teachers are actual japanese people who come from Japan!

This review is specifically for the Japanese classes, which are really well run here, affordable,…read moreand such a fun learning experience. Registration is easy and low key. The campus is pretty, safe, and has plenty of free parking. Security is really friendly here at the reception desk. My teacher, Hattori-sensei is fabulous. She spends the time to listen to the students, answer questions, pair us up with Japanese students (all girls campus) to practice conversation in the last 20 minutes of class, etc. I've finished the 1A, and just started the 1 B class and we have learned things like: - how to introduce ourselves in Japanese (obviously) - state our nationality and occupation - presenting business cards - numbers 0 through 12 for telling time, and basic counters - ask how much something is - describe things that are here/there/way over there - basic participles to form sentences - say with whom you are going somewhere - question words - by what means of transportation you will get somewhere - to go, to come, and to return sentences - location words - some action verbs - some adjectives - to give vs. to receive - basic vocabulary 1 B focuses more on verbs, but you have to put in the work to learn the vocabulary to help your learning. As Hattori-san says all of the time, she can't learn vocab for us! 1A and 1B use the textbook "Japanese for Busy People," and can be purchased from Amazon cheaply. The overall class mixes up learning with the text book, old video clips, worksheets, conversation with Japanese study abroad students, etc. Overall, I find it to be a great deal, and a lot of fun and low key to learn the language. We don't go over the writing systems to much in the class, as this focuses mainly on survival conversation skills. I originally decided to learn Japanese to prepare me for a trip to Japan this past May. However, I decided to keep going because it was a really positive experience and I like learning new things. I definitely felt like this helped prepare me for my trip to Japan. Especially when it came to food/shopping purchases. Can't wait to take more classes and go back to Japan to practice more! Oh, and a few tips for first-time students: - Finding the correct building can be tricky because this is a campus with multiple buildings/schools, including the British School of Boston. For easiest access, once you pass the closed gate, go up the hill and make the second right towards Showa. You'll know you are in the right place because they have a big Japan flag waving outside, and the building looks like a church with stained glass windows and 3 bells on top. - Although not impossible to get here via public transportation, it is incredibly inconvenient. Definitely drive if you can. - Once you get to the reception desk on your way in, you'll have to sign-in and get a visitor badge, and sign out when you leave at the end of the day. - The English classes are held in the academic building, is behind the reception building. They will put up pink signs directing students during the first few classes, but try to remember the route because they disappear after the 2nd week or so!

So, I transferred out of MassArt after my first year of college. I still like the school, but it…read morewasn't right for me. First for the good. Cheap tuition, especially if you're in-state. Cool campus, like a mix of different architectural styles. Interesting people. I made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun. Interesting classes. Other cool stuff, like international exchange programs, iron pouring, you name it. Heck, I learned how to throw pots by hanging out on the ceramics floor outside of class. I genuinely enjoyed my time there and miss it. But there were good reasons why I left. At the end of the day, this is a school, not a summer camp. MassArt lags behind in more technically inclined disciplines, or anything in the field of entertainment. The student postgrad employment rate in chosen fields is... abysmal. Like, half the people there want to be concept artists or key artists or animators for games and film, but most of the professors in those subject areas don't seem to have a lot of recent experience working in their fields or industries. What's being taught puts students years, if not decades behind. I still give it 4 stars because it's a great place and there are many opportunities if you're motivated, but it's really a better school if you're a fine artist/craftsman than someone who wants to go into entertainment like I did.

They offer bridge programs to be able to skip your 4th year of your undergrad and go right into your first year of your graduate program a year early. They will then tell you that you are missing classes for your undergrad degree after already doing an entire fall semester of your graduate program. They will then tell you that you need to leave your graduate program to go back to undergrad classes in the spring. They tell you that you can go back into your graduate program the following fall after they have already taken your finical aide for your first year of grad school. You do not get refunded and will have to pay for your fall semester of your graduate program 2x. As you will have to pay for your fall graduate semester again after going back to complete your undergrad classes required. They currently are doing it to my daughter and a few of her fellow friends in PA school that were excepted early access. I am currently speaking with a lawyer to see if this is financial aide fraud and also if I have a racial discrimination case as they are only singling out students of color. If so I am going to be suing this school. They told me daughter she will automatically be accepted to PA school next fall as they keep a few slots open before they offer external student for this exact reason. That right there tells me this "happens" a lot. Seems like a scam to me if I'm being honest.

My review is for the online store Orthodox Marketplace, which has an office on the campus of…read moreHellenic College. Orthodox Marketplace is a service of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and it sells products such as books, pamphlets, icons, and gifts such as jewelry and ornaments. On their website, I searched for and found an ecclesiastical calendar for the year 2023. The calendar contains icons, the names of saints, guidelines for fasting, and scripture readings. The price was only $5 plus a few dollars for shipping via media mail. A few days later, the warehouse in Tulsa, OK shipped the package to me. Several days later, the postal service delivered the package to my home. I keep the calendar in my kitchen, so I know what types of foods to cook on which days of the week. This calendar is very helpful to me!

Hellenic College is a unique institution of higher learning. It is the only fully accredited four-year liberal arts college in the Americas centered upon Orthodox Christian beliefs and enriched by the ideals of a Hellenic classical education. Hellenic College offers programs that are balanced among the humanities, the social sciences, and selected professions. Hellenic College welcomes students from diverse religious, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. On our hilltop campus overlooking Boston, all come to know themselves, their talents, each other, and their Creator. When they leave us, they go out into the world prepared, no matter what their individual callings, to make it a better place. Programs for Hellenic College: Religious Studies, Human Development, Classics and Greek Studies, Elementary Education, Management and Leadership Holy Cross is a unique graduate School of Theology and Seminary of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, a province of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Students come to Holy Cross for a theological education which will enable them to serve the Church and society as faithful and knowledgeable clergy or lay leaders. Most students are enrolled in one of our three graduate degree programs: Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Theological Study (M.T.S.) and the Master of Theology (Th.M.). Our student body is composed of men and women from throughout the United States and a number of other countries. While most are members of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, many others come from Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox jurisdictions in this country and from abroad. We also welcome students from other traditions who wish to study Orthodox theology. *** From me! I have been studying at HCHC now for about five years. I did my undergraduate degree there where I majored in Religious Studies and Minored in Human Development. Now I am a first year in the graduate program working to obtain my Masters of Divinity (MDiv.) The school is a great place to learn about the Orthodox Faith.

And treat Alumni like crap, not like family. The only upside is the campus, very pretty, beautiful buildings, nice beach. A few subway stops alongside the campus.
