Upper Arlington's department of Lifelong Learning (a division of the city's Parks and Recreation…read moredepartment) is a great way to explore a whole gamut of adult, self-enrichment. I currently teach armchair travel and history seminars for Lifelong Learning, but have also taken a bunch of different classes through this program, including yoga, pottery, craft and cooking classes. The instructors are reputable professors, tradespeople and professionals within their industry. Prices vary depending on how many sessions are taught for the one class. A class like pottery will meet 7 or 8 times and the cost is around $100, whereas my one-class travel or history seminars only cost about $18-$20 for a 2-hour presentation. Cost is also based on whether or not you are a resident of Upper Arlington. The difference isn't very much for non-residents, but there is a slight price break for those who live in the neighborhood. If you want to explore your artistic side, drawing, photography, oil painting, watercolors, and craft classes are among the offerings. If you prefer something more physical, choose from a variety of fitness, meditation and dance courses. Each quarter also brings random "one-off" seminars focused on topics like speed reading, local history or political issues. Classes are offered year-round and catalogues come out every quarter. The classes are open to the public and you can register on line, via telephone or the sign-up form in the catalogue, which you can request be mailed to you.

Thank God I made it out the nursing program but it's not worth it to put yourself through the…read moreheartache this school will cause you. Administrators and staff are very rude and do not care about you or your learning. Your business will be spread through staff and admin and even classmates! They play favoritism as well. This school is not set up for you so succeed as a lot of it is self taught and for the amount that you pay the quality of the labs and sims are TERRIBLE. They reuse supplies and often times make you "pretend" instead of opening supplies. They also take expired supplies from the hospitals which they should be able to afford without taking donations. The financial aid office is running a money laundering scheme so make sure you TRIPLE check all of your financial aid documents. Don't have an opinion different than theirs or stand up for yourself because you'll be labeled as combative and unprofessional. They also will give you the worst & cheapest pinning ever which is supposed to be one of the best moments of your life. Overall the cons outweigh the pros and it is not worth it! They are also not accredited by the CCNE. Go get your education elsewhere!!!!!!!

Aleks gives you an ungodly amount of problems to complete and if you answer a question wrong, it knocks your progress down instead of keeping it stagnant.

I've experienced an incredibly stressful and disappointing process with Franklin University. I…read morecompleted my final course in November 2024 and immediately faced a lengthy and strenuous grade appeal process. During this time, the university repeatedly violated its own policies by missing response deadlines they established. After nearly three months, I won my grade appeal, demonstrating that my concerns were valid. However, I am now facing another roadblock: the university registrar's office has not updated my transcript to reflect my earned degree. Because of this, I am missing out on job opportunities, a salary increase, and I am unable to apply to master's programs. My academic and professional life has been in limbo since November, and despite my efforts to follow every required process, the university has shown little urgency or concern for how these delays are impacting me as a student and working professional. This has been one of the most stressful experiences of my academic journey, and I would caution prospective students to consider whether this level of institutional responsiveness aligns with their expectations.

The event was well organized, as the canvas/paints/brushes/smocks are all provided. The activity itself was SO much fun! We ate pizza, sipped on wine and paint to our heart's content! Even though we had a large party of about 30 painters, the instructors, Anna, came around and helped me several times, even showing me what I needed to do and offering feedback. She was supportive and helpful. Despite my dreadful painting, I LOVED my experience with Art with Anna. I especially loved that the money raised went to support cancer research at the James.
