I have so many good things to say about HWS that I am not sure it could fit in a Yelp review!…read more Let me just list some of my favorite aspects of HWS: The people -- President Gearan is one of the smartest, civically minded, dedicated, and successful people you will ever meet. I think that he is one of the greatest assets of HWS along with his wonderful family. He and his family made my time at HWS so memorable. Also, the professors are fantastic. I graduated almost 3 yrs ago and continue to collaborate on research articles with one of my undergraduate mentors. The relationships you develop with the people at HWS can really last years, if not a lifetime. There are so many great people on campus it is hard to list them all -- but I want to give a shoutout to the Admissions staff and the Alumni House staff who are also fun and awesome! Woo. The campus -- The campus is beautiful and they do a good job of renovating and keeping it up-to-date for the most part. Also, you are on a 35 mile long lake in the middle of NY wine country! Yes, that means wine tasting, wine tours and wine class (.5 of a credit!). This is absolutely appropriate considering it is freezing and miserable 6 months out of the year so they need to make up for this in some way -- aka their proximity to vineyards and wineries. Also, you can basically navigate between any 2 points on campus in 20 minutes. The education -- My undergrad education absolutely prepared me for my post-college life and has set me up for a PhD program. Overall, the professors were knowledgeable, dedicated and fair. If you work hard and are intelligent, you will do well. I feel as if many of my professors had high standards that pushed me to always do my best. Basically, I love HWS and think that the opportunities overall are hard to parallel. The study abroad, community service and career development opportunities are all excellent and worth the ~$53,000/yr pricetag!

OK, time to review my alma mater. Kinda tough, given that I almost have to give it 5 stars…read more.. but this past summer, back for reunion, they did it up in style. gave us the freedom and flexibility to choose from a number of planned activities, or do nothing at all, and hang out on the quad until 3 a.m., even giving us unfettered access to the sound system, so we could blast 80's tunes on the sound system. Everything for reunion was done extremely well, which reflects the leadership of President Gearen and the culture of the school that hasn't changed signficantly since I left many years ago. Hell, even Professor Marvin Bram is still tooling around on his 1950's era bike. Great school, excellent faculty and students. Hidden gem. Thanks Bishop Hobart!!

This university is RIT large into folklore. I'm surprised I haven't RITten about it before. I need…read moreto RIT myself of all my feelings about this place and this review is how I shall do that. So RIT on if you're interested. Is that alRIT with you? I'm not crazy about the police (and they usually follow me around campus if I'm visiting a girl on campus at 3am, which by the way I did a couple of times but let's keep that between you and me and not put it all over Yelp or anything), and I'm really not crazy about the prices! I looked into coming here a long time ago and even back then the tuition was insane. I come here to eat, drink, and be merry with aforementioned girl sometimes, and all of the stuff on campus is overpriced and annoying, much more expensive than at UB North in Buffalo, which also - it has to be said - has better options, too. It's a beautiful and very safe, leafy, suburban campus, though. Cars aren't allowed on the majority of it which makes it safe and peaceful and quiet. It's got some great sculptures and a lot of pretty smart people. Not a lot of attractive people (unless you're into geeks), but I do know at least one ridiculously attractive girl that goes here, and that's the only reason I've really ever spent any time on campus. If you go here, take a trip to Cha Chat Cafe for some Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and to Bombay Chaat House for some kebabs. Also give Schaller's Ground Round a try, Sodam for some Yuk Gae Jang, and Tsingtao for some real Chinese food.

Trying to navigate the campus is confusing, the signs are not large enough to see well from your…read morecar. There were a handful of events going on, on a Saturday in June (quilt show, sports, graduations, trainings etc ) a few signs put on the lawn corners but no one in the kiosk for questions.

How do you compress 4 years of college into one review? It is impossible. But here are the…read morehighlights: - Houghton is filled with staff who are there on a mission. No one is after the Big Bucks, but rather are there because they have a passion for Christian* education. - Unlike some colleges, the Christian* identity of Houghton is central. Expect to see an application to the Bible in every class (though not every class period) and know that the moral dimension of your future profession will be discussed. - The student body is caring and friendly like no other I've visited. Expect to be greeted by almost everyone if you visit, and if you have an issue don't be afraid to ask for help. My father had a minor medical issue while on campus, and no fewer than six students came over to offer assistance (on a day when the quad was almost empty). - Education is job one at Houghton, so expect the best in terms of professors and materials. Most have worked in their fields of expertise for years, so there are very few teaching from a purely academic, theoretical background. - Houghton is in the middle of nowhere. And I do mean nowhere. There are no gas stations in town (there's one about 5 minutes away in Fillmore), and it's 30 minutes to the nearest McDonalds. However, the entire campus is within walking distance, and offers a large number of activities to keep you busy after class. Be sure to visit before making a decision to see if you can stand to live so far from "civilization". Overall, I can't recommend Houghton College highly enough for a Christian* scholar. Everything they do, they do well. It was a great time of my life, and I still enjoy going back from time to time. ----------------------------------------------- *By "Christian", I mean Protestant of the Evangelical vein. This is NOT a Catholic university, although they certain do welcome Catholic students. If you're not sure if you'd fit in, schedule a visit and see it for yourself. This is very much a "what you see is what you get" place, and just about any student would be happy to chat with you about their faith.

It's an amazing place, I recently went there for my orchestra string fest and the place was awesome!read more

So today I decided to drive over to my apartment (I'm still in hotel because my furniture isn't…read morehere yet), and drive over to the university so I can get a feel for the route I'll be taking to work everyday. Surprisingly, this place didn't exist on Yelp yet. We are gonna have to change that. Get these young students Yelping lol. So I can't really speak about the University, as it was dead, nobody around, and I was driving and taking photos from my car like a creeper. But what I can say is: the photos don't do this place justice! It was absolutely gorgeous! Like something out of a fairytale book with its green trees and old brick buildings etc. It is a decent sized campus too, and I didn't even explore the entire thing! I'll be sure to add more photos as I start working there. But this place, for now anyways, in the summer, is gorgeous! I absolutely love it and it has a "charm" to it, that definitely worked on me. I'm excited to start working here. At least, during the summers anyways. My office will be in Alumni Hall, running the ROTC program. So come on by and say hi... and oh yea, join the Army. We'll take good care of you.

Preparing students for their future by destroying the animals habitat and replacing it with solar ?…read moreI don't think so. Burying solar batteries underground, are you kidding. Wait till the dumps are full of batteries and people start dumping them wherever. Besides in WNY where there is little sunlight 8 months out of the year, then they will use diesel (terrible pollutant) powered generators ? Totally nuts, not the answer, pure reckless stupidity !
