Maricopa community colleges has turned into a joke- they don't care about their students or their…read moresuccess. Teacher literally told me if I want to be able to monitor my child's blood sugar and have access to my phone I needed an accommodation. I called to verify what documents I would need by calling the disability office and explained the situation before applying. Was apparently provided with false information by multiple people both from a teacher and the disability office or the person assigned to my application is lazy. Because even had to ask her to open a calendar date because she only was available days I had class. Then I get this email a day before our scheduled meeting - like okay lady- people have children that they still have to be able to monitor during class. A parent with a diabetic child should be allowed to have a device that receives notifications so they can notify someone about potential emergencies with their child.

Pros: affordable with financial aid. Quiet campus, on site Library and amenities. Beautiful school…read more Straight forward classes. Lots of programs. And their film school is top rated for a reason. Go here to keep your head down and get your degree. It's not quality but it gets the job done. Try to transfer 90 credits which is a AA degree to uni for BA. Cons: administration doesn't know what they are doing half the time. Nice workers but poor training and higher ups don't do much in terms of their job. You will need to sit down with academic advisors at least 4 times to make sure you are on the right degree path. Don't go to acting school here if mr messersmith is in charge as he is unprofessional and will curse at you to your face. Public humiliation is his fetish for his students and he likes forcing the girls to act out rap£ scenes and the emotional distress of it all. When I went to the vice president about this I was shut down ignored. Public Safty had officers that some faculty pushed me away from due to the fact they knew the officer would cover it up. Some real good people at SCC with a few bad apples for sure. This teacher was charming and friends with everyone. I saw him buddy buddy with VP which is why nothing happened he probably still is abusing students. Also the school will cover up anything to save a student whose daddy donates to the school so I blame the VP for creating such a hostile environment. But again if you just don't do acting classes or at least try to keep to the female teachers you should be fine. Hopefully they fired that teacher. 2015-2018 Overall I'd go here just know you won't be babied you have to do everything yourself which is easy once you know what ur doing. You have to physically show up 2-4 times to get The correct Information. Goodluck.

Had the opportunity to get a private tour from my brother-in-law who works at Phoenix Seminary…read more It's not a "large" campus but it is a very nice one. There has been a lot of work done to make it very open and inviting. The offices are easily accessible to see and speak with the professors, and the library has a lot of room to grow. I have only heard good things from others who attend here, and it seems like the student to teacher ratio is amazing. Although it might be said that Phoenix Seminary is one of the best kept secrets of Arizona, that should change soon because this looks like a great place to further your education in Biblical studies.

I'm too old not to think reviewing a seminary on Yelp is odd, yet here we are! In the event that…read moreyou're a prospective student, and you thought it would be a great idea to see what the Yelps have to say about it, I'm glad to have not wasted my time, thank you! I'm about 30 credits into an MDiv degree at Phoenix Seminary, and I'm doing well academically so far. I don't think it's particularly difficult to succeed as a student at PS, however that doesn't mean the curriculum isn't challenging, taxing, and sometimes arduous. Expect to be stretched, surprised, and rewarded for your efforts. Every professor I've studied under is gracious and understanding. It's the Church they're tending, and they are serious about their commitment to shepherding the flock in a gentle, fatherly way. I've been in classes with a wide range of denominations represented, and they are always respectful of varying beliefs, cultures, and backgrounds. They also have some pedigree. Drs. Wayne Grudem might be the best-known scholar on staff, but believe me, every professor you haven't heard of is a powerhouse. Recent PS professors Dr. Duby and Drs. Gurry and Meade have published award winning monographs in the last year. The Text & Canon Institute is taking off, making publicly available a biblically grounded, de-sensationalized record of textual and canonical studies. Should you attend Phoenix Seminary for a graduate degree? This is a conservative seminary, so you should expect to affirm inerrancy of the original biblical monographs, and the divine inspiration of Scripture. Expect a small school experience, where you will get to know other students - you'll see the same faces for years, and the relationships people build during this time will be strong, deep ones. The campus is small, there's no Starbucks or Chick-fil-A, just a good sized, well-curated library, a beautiful chapel, and a few classrooms. Let's talk about the potential 'cons' of attending PS. Because of the school's small size, it's possible you'll run across a professor whose teaching style doesn't suit you. You won't have other options, because they'll likely only have one professor teaching that subject. I have had zero problems so far, but I have heard of people struggling with certain professors. In my understanding, the difficulty was with keeping up with difficult subjects rather than anything interpersonal. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason not to attend this excellent school. Get training in all aspects of the faith - Scripture, languages, ministry, spiritual formation. I have had only good experiences with my professors, and while there have been times of painful growth, where I've had to challenge long-held assumptions, the net result has been a deeper foundation for my faith. If you're a pastor or are hoping to become one, you should just enroll, don't even think about it. You already know the calling to be a shepherd is a serious one, get serious about knowing and understanding Scripture (I know you already are - but don't go it alone!), and grow your own faith, your ability to reveal God through sound preaching. I hope this is helpful, blessings on your journey, brother/sister!

When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large…read moreschool experience. What they may not realize is that while that experience is great for many people, yet others may be looking for a different experience. The ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus is smaller than the Tempe Campus yet it's a community where every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and it is still large enough (as ASU's second largest campus) that there is always something happening. It's growing as a campus and has transformed quickly from a commuter campus (when it first opened) to a residential campus with nearly 2,000 bed spaces in two residence halls. Opened for classes in 2006, the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus has hit many milestones over the last several years. For instance, in April 2023, the Taylor Place residence hall was renamed Gordon Commons in honor of former Mayor Phil Gordon. This campus meshes well with the Downtown Phoenix area as they share streets, parks, and nearby restaurants and stores. In fact, ASU is actively involved in monthly stakeholder meetings with the Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI). It helps Downtown stakeholders in knowing what's going on at ASU while it helps ASU to know what's going on around the Downtown Phoenix area. For instance, ASU students and staff enjoy participating in First Fridays while DPI is involved in ASU Welcome Week events. As the campus continues to grow and become more engrained in the Downtown Phoenix culture every year, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings such as those of Cronkite, Thunderbird, and the Beus Center for Law and Society, there are student services available in University Center and Student Center at the Post Office. There are also classrooms within the Mercado Center and Arizona Center and even the Fusion on First residence hall and 850 PBC. Within Gordon Commons (another residence hall) is a Starbucks, Chick-fil-a, other restaurants, a Multicultural Communities of Excellence space, a dining hall, and marketplace. There is also some interesting art on campus such as the "Her Secret is Patience" sculpture above the Civic Space Park. There is also a beautiful Sun Devil Fitness Center with a roof-top pool. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus. At the Downtown Phoenix Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office (in the Post Office) and the many student services offices at ASU Downtown Phoenix are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing what comes next on such an engaging campus such as the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus in the coming years!
