    Joy L.

    While I was a college student studying music in New Jersey, I was recruited by a friend on a whim to spend the summer as a counselor at Interlochen Arts Summer Camp. It was a very interesting and cool experience. Interlochen is an amazing place to be, whether you are a student, teacher, counselor, performer or spectator. Interlochen is many things at once. It is: *a performing arts center with many venues. *a boarding school for high school for the fine and performing arts *a fine and performing arts summer camp for school aged children from all around the world. *a radio station *a hotel and a gift shop and more... all nesteled in a beautifully wooded campus that has two lakes and bathing beaches. Interlochen is a not a place for students with a casual interest in the arts. Particularly at the middle and high school level, the kids are hardcore serious about their studies. They have lots of fun, but the price tag at Interlochen makes it a very costly and exclusive experience. The boarding school is so expensive it is out of reach for many students, so the summer camp is the only taste many children get of Interlochen. If I could afford to send my children to Interlochen, I would do so without hesitation. Performers from all genres grace the stages at Interlochen. The large open air stage at the center of campus is a really neat place to watch a concert. While I was there Yanni, kd Lang, the Monkees, James Galway and many others performed and I got to see them all as part of the job. It was so much fun working with the kids and enjoying beauty of the camp and all Interlochen had to offer.

    Practice room

    This review is for the summer camp (music). My kid attended for 3- weeks camp. -Facility: 1. The practice room looks like a prison cell without sound proof. 2. The 20 students slept in a cabin without air conditioning. My kid had to buy a fan which she needed only for the camp (so she left it there). 3. The showers were very limited. My kid took a shower only every 2-3 days depending on how long the students took showers. - Quality of the faculty and students: 1. The level of the students are so diverse. Anyone will be admitted. 2. The faculty (private instructors) is all students (DMA candidates). I hoped my kid would have an experienced instructor, but no choice. -Rules: 1. The students could call only once a week for 30 minutes. We had a family emergency and could not reach her. My kid was informed in one and half days later after several calls to the office. 2. The students had to take a nap. This was totally non-sense for a teenager. -Additional cost 1. The uniform: everyone had to wear a 1970's style uniform and a pair of RED socks. The quality is so poor (not to mention, they are additional you need to pay). My kid's feet were dyed with the red color. 2. Food: No fresh fruits. My kid is not a picky eater, but asked me to send food.

The professors are very friendly and helpful. The staff is friendly as well, but the hidden fees and charges are outrageous. I WAS INFORMED of ONLY 3 OUT OF 5 loans through this college. I signed for and agreed to the repayment terms of only THREE OUT OF FIVE LOANS. Because they did not inform me of the other 2 loans, they went into default after 90 days. Soon the company Aidvantage reached out to me and said my loans through them were in default BECAUSE THE COLLEGE DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THEM. I had a credit score of 715, and then that happened and now it is only 583. Because of NMC, I will not be able to get a loan of any kind out for 7 years. Don't go to this college if you want your financial situation to stay in tact. Unless your parents are super rich and are paying for your college, DON'T DO IT. In addition, the parking is bad and the cafeteria food is not edible.

    Don't even get me started as to how disorganized this school is. The fire alarms are always ringing…read morebecause there out of batteries. The teaching staff leaves much to be desired and nobody cares to put in any amount of effort to change anything. The food is terrible and most likely not up to health code standards. Rate 1/10

    Interesting, well-presented exhibits. Hands-on opportunities. Classes offered annually. Community…read moreevents, too. I have been to a few of the events: one was the Central Neighborhood front porch concerts and treats- it was fun. The other event was as a volunteer (full disclosure) for their plein air paint out as part of Paint Grand Traverse. Oh, I think everyone should volunteer for this, but that's my love of the arts speaking. As more of a dreamer than a do-er, I'm pretty much in awe of those who *do.* Lastly, this evening I was here for the TC Ticker's 'Recess' event. I'd consider going to another of their events, the venues rotate. There were beverage tickets (imbibe if you don't have to work later, as I did) and yummy treats from Maxbauer's and Raduno. I guess I networked, but I consider it more a polishing/fine-tuning of extremely rusty social skills. I am a busy and introverted human, therefore I don't get out much, lol. But, when I do get out, it's because I have high expectations. And, this venue and event both proved themselves to be enjoyable.
