Due to that, even after a successful first semester, I've officially been dismissed as a student. Looks like Concordia St Paul doesn't practice empathy or compassion for the human element and I really pray that that take a good look in the mirror before they cut someone out for having one bad semester.

Complaint Regarding Erin's Conduct - Admissions Office…read more I'm writing a complaint about Erin, who works at the front desk in the Admissions Office. I normally don't take the time to write complaints, but after several negative and frustrating experiences, I feel this needs to be addressed. The first time I ever visited campus, Erin was available but ignored me when my name appeared on the service screen. She looked at me, turned away, and did nothing--no typing, no paperwork, nothing. Another employee, Xiong, eventually helped me. Xiong has always been helpful and professional, but Erin's refusal to assist me was noticeable and uncomfortable. My second experience with Erin was over the phone when I called about a billing issue for a summer (June) class I thought had been dropped. I received an email about an unpaid balance and wanted clarification. When I explained this, Erin asked when I registered. I told her I didn't remember exactly. She responded in a condescending tone, saying, "It was June and you don't even remember?" I let that go because I don't have spare time like her, I asked about payment plan options since I wanted to register for another class. She told me payment had to be made in full, and when I asked to be transferred to Financial Aid to confirm, she refused--repeating herself word-for-word multiple times. Like a robot, reading a script, she repeated herself on needing a full payment and why others would say the same. I had to insist several times before she finally transferred me. The entire call was extrememly draining and disrespectful. My most recent experience was just as frustrating. I called to ask whether I could join a class late with the professor's approval. Instead of listening, Erin kept cutting me off and repeating that "they don't hold seats for students." I tried to explain that I wasn't asking for a seat hold, just clarification about contacting the professor because I had holds and if he thought it would be too late then I could contact another school who I knew could give me the course. She talked over me repeatedly, refused to listen, and raised her voice, "WE DONT HOLD SEATS EVEN IF YOUR TRYING TO GRADUATE ON TIME". I told her to transfer me to someone else because she was talking over me and that it was ridiculous what she was doing. She began repeating herself word by word on why she was right and why I couldn't talk with the professor. Honestly, she sounded like a crazy medicated person. I had to hang up because the conversation was going nowhere and she was wasting my time. When I called again and spoke to another staff member they ransferred me to an Academic Advisor, Scott, he confirmed exactly what I was trying to ask--that I could email the professor to request late enrollment. I wasted an hour to get a simple answer. And am wasting my time writing this about Erin. I'm a visiting student, not even enrolled full-time, and I already find interactions with Erin extremely stressful. I can't imagine what regular students go through dealing with her. College is not a joke--students are investing time, effort, and money into their education. We deserve staff who are patient, professional, and willing to listen. St. Paul College is a great institution with many helpful employees like Xiong and Scott. Unfortunately, Erin's conduct leaves a negative impression that does not reflect the college's standards. I hope this matter is addressed seriously.

I'm an older student (30s) returning to school for nursing and need to complete prerequisites…read more Queue: Saint Paul College. This is my second semester as a full time student and I couldn't be happier with my experience. My review is based on the things that matter most to me: quality of professors, quality of education, and affordability. I am NOT concerned with things like the cafe or general building upkeep. I show up, learn what I need to, and leave. I have taken In Class, Hybrid, and Online only classes and they each have pros and cons depending on learning styles. There is ample variety of class times and types to choose from when registering which is nice. So yes, I have encountered minor issues as a student-- IT related, transcript related, or being confused about the process of something. Every time I needed assistance, I was able to get it efficiently and effectively. IT is very responsive via email, and Mao at One Stop is an awesome advisor. She quelled all of my new student anxiety. In terms of affordability, SPC is on par with other community colleges in the area. Something around $200/credit. I always find parking (not super close to the entrance but I don't look very hard for a good spot, pretty much drive straight to the back of the parking area where I know there will be plenty of spots). SPC is meeting all of my needs and I'm having fun and learning a lot along the way. I really can't ask for anything more from a community college.

I have never taken a course at the University of Minnesota (UMN). I used to hang out in this area…read moremainly because I like Dinkytown, which is the heart of UMN student life. I like the stores and good eats in this neighbourhood. I've always felt comfortable visiting universities and checking out campuses. It's no different here. I had a friend who got his master and doctorate degrees from this university, so I got to hear about his experiences when we both lived in Minnesota. I am a hockey fan. The UMN has a decent hockey program, both men's and women's. You often see local talent make it to the Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Frost rosters, respectively. Alex Goligoski, who recently retired from the NHL, played for the Minnesota Golden Gophers at UMN before he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He won the Stanley Cup with this team, but spent his last three years with the Wild as a defenseman. During his 1,000th NHL game, he scored the game-winning goal, which was quite the storybook ending. As of late, Brock Faber is a solid defenseman on the Wild. He is starting his second full season with the team and was captain of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. He is young, but exceptionally skilled and mature beyond his years. Taylor Heise, who is a forward for the PWHL's Minnesota Frost, played for the Minnesota women's hockey team. The Frost won the Walter Cup and she won the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP award. If I were looking into academics, UMN has both computer science and mathematics departments that would have appealed to me. It is similar to York University in that you can choose to do either a Bachelor of Arts or Science in either field. Only a Master of Science is available in both. You can also study towards a PhD in either domain. UMN has a Bachelor of Science in Technical Writing and Communication. Many universities start off offering Technical Writing degrees as an Arts degree. I like the shift with universities going with a Bachelor of Science. Technical writers are needed more than ever to explain technical, complex details as clearly and concisely in engineering, medical, and more. It's makes more sense that it's a Science degree. This university does not offer graduate degrees in Technical Writing. It's one reason why I didn't do my Master's here. I don't have any inclination to get a doctorate. If UMN offered one in my chosen field, I'd consider it if the price is affordable and I could do it remotely. It was nice being back in the area. (394)

I'm recommending you get to a game if you are a fan of hockey. The program has a long history. This is a historic University.

I would strongly caution anyone considering enrollment at Century College to carefully evaluate…read moretheir options. While the school presents itself as supportive and accessible, my experience fell far short. Communication across departments was disorganized and often unresponsive. Important information about registration, financial aid, and course requirements was unclear or delayed, creating unnecessary stress. At times, the level of negligence in handling student concerns was surprising and unacceptable. The quality of instruction and student support was inconsistent. Some instructors were helpful, but others seemed disengaged, which made it difficult to stay confident in the education being provided. Advising services were especially disappointing, often feeling rushed or misinformed. Overall, my experience with Century College was frustrating and underwhelming. I would recommend that prospective students seriously consider other options that prioritize accountability, clear communication, and student support.

Deuteronomy 23:19 ESV "You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. Leviticus 25:35-37 "If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.
