She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, even when inexperienced. Although I have been an EMT for over 17 years, it's been a long time since I was in a classroom setting and appreciated how she tailored some aspects of the core curriculum to my needs. Her teaching style is clear, hands-on, and full of patience. She doesn't just teach the material she makes sure you understand it, feel confident in it, and knows how to apply it in the real world. And if you mess up, she's right there with encouragement and guidance, never judgment. If you engage in active listening, show up on time (every time) and practice safe lab procedures you will ace the class with no problem. Take it seriously, phlebotomy is the first line in medical care. I would highly recommend and may reach out in the future to see if there are any opportunities to work alongside her at the school in the future.

First opening its doors in 1974, Stratford is now serving its second generation of students in the…read moreSpring Branch School District. This is most evident on chilly winter nights when Stratford plays a home football game at the adjacent Tully Stadium. I know it's time to pack up and head over to watch the game when I start hearing the Stratford band's drum section and the sound of the announcer's voice reverberate throughout the neighborhood. It is the single most important cohesive force in the area. Everyone goes to the game. It's three generations now: grandparents, parents (many who attended Stratford themselves) and the kids. Other neighbors who have no affiliation with Stratford at all go because it's where everyone else is on a Friday night. For hardcore Stratford fans, Stratford's 1978 Division 5A State Championship team will always loom large. Visions of more football glory of this sort cropped up again during the 2007 fall season because a phenomenal athlete, Andrew Luck (son of Oliver Luck who was a quarterback for the Oilers and is currently the President of the Houston Dynamo), was able to hoist the whole football program on his shoulders, quarterback them to the district title and then power the team through several early rounds of the state championship tournament. Now that Stratford's football program is back to its normal mediocrity in the post-Luck era, Stratford fans are content when the team beats its arch-rival, Memorial High School. In many ways, it's a pity that, here in Texas, the football program defines a school's identity. At Stratford for instance, the girl's volleyball team is much more of a perennial contender in the city and state than the football program ever has been. I've had one daughter graduate from Stratford, another currently is a student there and I have son who's in the queue to attend Stratford when he gets out of Middle School. I believe my kids are lucky. Stratford is consistently one of the highest-ranked schools in the United States per Newsweek magazine. It has an outstanding orchestra program. The Stratford Playhouse puts on productions of which many college programs would be very envious. Its Academy of Science and Engineering provides a unique opportunity for America's future technology leaders to flex their mental muscles. The best endorsement I can give the school, however, is to repeat what my daughter (who just completed her first semester at UT Austin) told me after making UT's honor role: "Dad, Stratford actually prepared me very well for college." Good job, Stratford. Go Spartans!

I was told Springfield was my best option to finish my bachalors degree because using my associates…read moredegree I could graduate in 16 months. I found it very exciting and so I went. The classes happen two weekends per month and you are expected to do some work online. I liked the history of the school, how it was founded by Harvard and the YMCA. However , keep in mind this is a private college. They do anything to enroll you. I found that many students were not ready to start a bachelor's degree, but they were there anyway. the majority of the students are older adults, very few are in their 20's, and most are part of minority groups . Many students lacked basic college knowledge such as writing and formatting. I also came to find out that their tuition is higher than than the University of Houston! Also, I found them very disorganized. I sometimes had to send several emails before getting an answer. My name wasn't on the list for the beginning of the year, even though I went through the enrollment process for that semester. Besides,no one in town has ever heard of Springfield college...it also made think a lot....paying more than UH for something very few people know. I heard their graduate programs are better than the undergraduate, but I don't know. I have only experienced the undergrad level. It's your typical private college. You pay a lot, you get your degree.

I wish to submit that the previous reviewer's opinion is valid, but there needs to be counterpoint…read moreto it. As an undergrad ('11) and graduate alum ('13) of Springfield College (SC), I would like to offer that counterpoint. As an aside to the main issues in the review, It is important to note that the "disorganization" referred to was due, in part, to a very serious health issue, leaving something of a void at the top of the administration for a short time. No excuses, but it is worth considering. As a private college, SC's tuition is high, relative to other colleges in the Houston area, agreed. However it is important to consider differing factors when comparing costs among schools. The Houston campus is a satellite of the main campus in Springfield, MA. SC does not own the building it utilizes as a local campus, whereas U of H owns its buildings and other properties. This adds to the costs a satellite campus incurs. While one may feel that the tuition is not commensurate with other local schools, the tuition is commensurate with its main campus which is commensurate with like-schools. Moreover, a lack of knowledge locally of a particular school is not noteworthy as I'm certain many local college students are unaware of other schools within the NCAA that are equivalent to U of H, such as Northeastern or Holyoke, Amherst - all reputable colleges unlikely to be familiar to a Houstonian. I offer this as a counterpoint to whether a school's popularity or familiarity should be relevant in a review. If you are considering SC, or any other college for that matter, I suggest considering US News & World Report's annual ranking of colleges, where a more reliable barometer of a school's potential to fit one's degree plan may be found, given that this particular platform (Yelp) is better suited for considering restaurants on the weekend than for considering something with long-term value such as a college education. SC, Houston campus is specifically geared towards the adult learner who succumbed to one of life's many distractions, such as kids, work, military obligations, or caring for an ill loved one, and who may have had to abandon their pursuit of a college degree. I would agree that there are some students enrolled who may not be as prepared as others to pursue, or to restart their pursuit of, a college degree. This specific campus was established to give those willing to work for a college degree the opportunity to do just that. However, to suggest that there are students who are essentially not qualified to be there is egregious, irresponsible, and casts a negative light on an institution that has maintained a reputation and that has garnered respect from academics for nearly two centuries. While one is unlikely to find many 20-somethings attending the Houston campus, it is fair to suggest that by the age of 20-something, many have already gone to college and graduated, started college but were affected by one or more of the previously suggested distractions, or the student may have encountered financial difficulties or realized they weren't "ready" at that time. I point to myself as an example of one who started college right out of high school in 1985, but did not complete my degree until 2011 after Springfield offered the right set of circumstances for me to do that. What the adult learner will find is SC is fully accredited nationally, not just locally (as some Houston colleges are). Also, it is designed to work with your schedule, within reason. In addition to a f/t job, I had to sacrifice church twice a month plus any family outings that occurred on the weekends I was not in class. But I EARNED my degrees, both of them; nothing is written off and no one is given the benefit of the doubt based on likeability or degree of difficulty away from the classroom. A final point; the concept is geared specifically towards "adult learners" and virtually suggests that it is unlikely you will be classed with a 20-something as it's generally accepted that demographic would not find the curriculum and lack of fraternities and sporting events to their liking. While a 20-something will get the same degree as that of an older adult learner, it is unlikely the campus offers the amenities or intensity a younger learner may be seeking from a college, based solely on the reputation of the so-called 'college experience.' I would also suggest that before publically disparaging any college or its enrollment practices, look in the mirror. If the reflection offers spelling and grammatical errors, one might consider more preparation for one's self before denouncing any other students' abilities or likelihood, based on age or diversity, to be successful at SC. Also, personal experience is more valuable than grapevine (I heard...) regurgitations.
