They truly make an effort to connect with students who are nonnative English speakers and find the right methods to suit each individual student. Thomas' tutoring is especially effective as he can cover a variety of topics, from understanding basic English to preparing students for the SAT or ACT tests. Highly recommend this institution.

What do you say about a public school as old as Valley Middle School? Mind you, is 42 years old…read moreactually old in building age? Does a public middle school warrant a review? All I can say is that this school really appears to try. Yes, I would conjecture it's all about the money (conjecture being the $10.00 word of the day). However, the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) program that is hot in education news does appear to be in full throttle. I do think the school is a bit behind in the STEM program, but that is mere speculation (yesterday's word of the day). The 3:AM summary? If someone with children thinking about moving into the area happens to read this, know that Valley Middle School is pretty good.

Came here to get a drink. Ordered a Mini Soda. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT SIZE…read more FALSE ADVERTISING. SO WHY ARE THEY NAMED THE UNIVERSE OF MINI SODAS. HUH. ZERO STARS. I have nothing against this University, and it seems kind of cool. I'm not going to turn up my nose and complain about their entrance standards because most of the kids around here seem as smart or smarter than that a lot of the other colleges so that doesn't seem to be a problem. It's just so damn cold up here so I don't envy anybody going to school around here. Some of the kids aren't the friendliest but that can be said about a lot of the schools these days. And of course there's a massive Stadium overlooking the whole little area and Dinkytown which is kind of part of this area is right next to it and possibly even cooler. And here is what I said about the Uni neighbourhood and Dinkytown, which is kinda part of it: More like the Looneyversatile District, because crazy folks wander these streets and the food around here is quite versatile. I'm in love with the University District of Minneapolis - it's just absolutely fabulous. Lots of beautiful people and lots of fun and energy and excitement. Not always the safest neighbourhood but definitely a very enjoyable part of town. Also lots of great ethnic food and fun things happening and some delicious bubble tea and just basically one of the coolest University Districts in the whole of the Great Lakes region. And here's what I had to say about Dinkytown, which is sort of part of this district: Not to be confused with Dickytown, which is full of men that love men. Or Dingytown which is run down. Or Ditzytown where Barbie and I live. Dinkytown is basically college kid Paradise because you have everything you would want within about 5 square blocks and it's fun and young and energetic and there's places to drink and pharmacies and places to drink and restaurants and places to drink and did I mention that there are places to drink around here as well. Many residence Halls are here and it's just basically a really cool part of town where all the college students are and I highly recommend that if you come to Minneapolis, and you want to be where the action is in the afternoons or evenings of any given day, then I recommend coming to Dinkytown cuz it's pretty awesome. The Korean place was really good and a there's lot of other good food places around and you can't really go wrong. There's also two Kung Fu Tea locations within a few blocks and a Chatime, and a Darque Tan, and a Sencha Tea Bar and a Bambu, and if you've got like half a dozen Boba joints or more within a few Square blacks than you know you are in a very cool area. And it's not even Chinatown. It's for everybody. Kung Fu Tea makes the best drinks out of all of those. Lemon Black Tea FTW. But the Sencha around here is really nice and much nicer than the other locations if you have been to all of them like I have - even one in Madison. Perfect neighbourhood. And don't accidentally go to Dixietown. It's in Alabama. And you might end up in the Slammer.

The University of Minnesota has poorly mishandled the future of their students by providing such…read morepoor service in the admission office by lack of communication, total irresponsibility, and blatant understand of organization. I attempted to transfer to Normandale Community College to University of Minnesota Twin Cities but of course like all students transcripts are required. I was told multiple times that Normandale does not transfer transcripts due to U of M's lack of organization, so they stated I HAVE to go through National Student Clearinghouse. I was accepting of that. Until they managed to lose that transcript. How does one lose an e-transcript? Another issue was on my application I had "College of Lake County." also known as "CLC" with the correct address, located in Grayslake, Illinois. I remember this clearly. However they argued with me profusely stating I needed a letter from "CLC" "Central Lakes College" in Minnesota. That was mailed. And they lost that as well. This has been an awful experience and honestly because it has been this difficult to get into this school, I am no longer interested in applying. It's an average school. From what I have read professors are busy with graduates while soon to be graduates are teaching the undergraduate classes which are 40-200 depending on what class you take. U of M does not have the best interest of their students in mind. They have lost sight of their future: the students. I recommend doing an overhaul of the more important departments. Like Admissions. Calling in four times and each time stating to correct name and address? That is ridiculous.

I, as a fumbling gangly teen, was on the badminton team, volleyball, Quiz Bowl, speech, math team, drama club, and the literary magazine. It seemed like anyone who was involved in one afterschool activity was probably involved in three or more; it was the same group of magnet program (International Bacculaureate) kids in everything, over and over again. I had a good time here. In another school, I might have been on at best Quiz Bowl or math team, and been bored out of my mind - or possibly pregnant and on drugs - for most of the school year. I certainly wouldn't have made it on any sports teams in another school.
