This was an unexpected gem of an art museum in the heart of Utica. We came here on a half-day trip…read morefrom Cooperstown (1 hour away on rural roads) for a brief visit and had modest expectations. The MWPAI has two main buildings and includes a lovely collection of paintings and sculptures. The highlight of the museum is the set of paintings by Thomas Cole on the top floor of the main building. These works illustrate various stages in one's life cycle from youth to middle-age to older-age. I was impressed by the quality of the collection here and a visiting exhibit of works by a contemporary artist from Atlanta. We arrived around 11:30am on a Thursday and went immediately to the Terrace Cafe after a quick restroom stop. The cafe is open from 11am to 3pm Tuesdays through Saturdays and has outdoor seating. I was impressed by the quality of our bistro-style lunch prepared by a professional chef. We enjoyed some iced tea and the fried deviled eggs with horseradish, dijon and scallions as an appetizer. My 13-year old son devoured his MWP burger (mustard-whiskey-peppercorn glaze), while I had the Saratoga Quiche which was light and refreshing. We were too full for dessert. Who knew that Utica could provide an elegant yet affordable lunch with a lovely outdoor view? Be sure to ask the waiter for recommendations on main dishes and appetizers. Although the service can be a bit slow, it's a delightful spot for a leisurely lunch where you can relax and unwind. My wife, teenage sons (15 yrs, 13 yrs) and I really enjoyed our short day trip to Utica. MWPAI was a highlight along with Utica Coffee Roasters and the half-moon cookies from Hemstrought Bakery.

I'm not sure if the program has been rearranged since the previous posts, but I have had a fabulous…read moreexperience with the online RN to BSN program at Utica. Yes, some classes are more challenging than others, especially given the shortened time frame. There is no "one size fits all" program for everyone. I did a full year with UMASS Boston's online RN to BSN program and couldn't stand it, so I transferred. I am also 3.9 GPA student and I take my education very seriously. I am also a wife, mother of two small children, and work the evening shift at the hospital. As long as you are disciplined enough to stay up to date or ahead of the reading, the program is manageable. Most online programs have a group work requirement because nursing is one part of a collaborative team. That has been the most challenging so far, but we've made it work. Most of the classes are interesting, fun, and have added to my knowledge base. I have found all but one professor to be very receptive and willing to help when requested. I can't say enough about my success coach and the wonderful person who assists me with my financial aid questions. Transferring from the UMASS to the Utica online program was a great decision!

Might be slightly biased, but Proctor High School offers so many opportunities to the students free…read moreof charge. Though Proctor gets a bad reputation because of a small population of students who are extremely challenging, the majority of the students there are charismatic and bright. The faculty is really exceptional, meeting incredible demands by the state, administration, and daily interaction with students from both poverty and affluence. The diversity is really a gift, with many students teaching others of tolerance and open-mindedness that they would never get to experience in another district. Though it is a large school (and really should be two schools) it's peaceful most of the time. Test scores are improving and great things happen there each day.
