This…read morecollege runs on scamming people, bullying, and all the things that make people the absolute WORST. First, admissions forgot to inform me that they would charge an extra $3500 for out of district tuition, so that charge blindsided me a week into classes. After waiting a week to get a hold of a financial aid person, they told me they wouldn't help me and to try my advisor. They shoved me off so fast, and didn't even ask me what the problem was. SO RUDE. I couldn't get a hold of my student advisor the entire semester. When I finally received an email back from Ara Williams, it was AI generated, and didn't answer my actual concerns because he was "too busy" with other students who had "actual problems". You will spent most of you time trying to find the right person to email, because most of the staff will just shove you off to someone else or telling you to just be grateful for the breadcrumbs of information or help they offer. On top of that, they hire "professors" like Cassie Smith for Anthropology who are NOT qualified to teach the subject, but will also hire department chairs like Dr. Sanchez to protect these "professors" even when they lack the basic knowledge to teach. Both of these staff members accused me of cheating without any sort of proof, but tried to tell me I should be "grateful" they gave me a grade that I earned. This was after I had to email the professor every SINGLE week to open the appropriate information and assignments. Yes, I had to remind my professor to unlock the weekly assignments with an email that she didn't respond to for two days prior. She was probably busy trying to make her lecture videos that didn't post until halfway through the week. It's sad that all this time she spent "preparing" for her class she couldn't run a spell check before posting anything, including feedback on papers. Cassie Smith is unprofessional and should never teach again. Dr. Sanchez should never be allowed to interact with students again. Telling a student who did not cheat to "be grateful the professor was willing to change the grade" is INSANE and shows how selfish this college is. They will do WHATEVER it takes to protect their own, even if it means lying about a student's academic dishonesty. This ENTIRE college runs on manipulation, scams, and lies. DO NOT waste your money here because they do not care about you. I have hired a lawyer to pursue legal action because of this semester with Austin Community College.

We were very disappointed with our experience at Huntington. Before paying for the assessment, we…read morewere only informed about the assessment fee and the hourly tutoring rate. At no point were we told about the additional $250 registration fee or that the entire tutoring program must be paid for or financed up front rather than paying per session. We initially felt very hopeful that they could help our daughter, which is why we agreed to move forward with the assessment. However, after meeting with the director to review the results, we learned about these additional requirements and fees that had never been disclosed beforehand. The lack of transparency left us feeling misled and frustrated. Unfortunately, we are now out the cost of the assessment and feel that the full financial commitment should have been clearly explained from the beginning.

Today I was at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX for an organizational retreat. We met in…read morethe F. W. Olin building which is near the Lois Perkins Chapel. The Olin building has been at Southwestern University for more than 30 years. You can see the combination of the old and new aspects of the building. The classrooms where the retreat was held included auditorium styled rooms about 8 rows deeps a fairly new style. The restrooms while extremely clean are a bit dated. Their design of rooms made it easy to see and hear from any point in the classroom. Audio visuals included the TV monitors, speakers and mics. The acoustics in the room was also good. In addition, parking was super easy and very close the Olin building. It was easy access to and from the building.

I can't say much about the campus itself because we came out specifically for a baseball…read moretournament. That said, the bleachers for this particular baseball field are not comfortable and a tight fit as far as leg room goes. (and I'm 5'4) Maybe bring a cushion, blanket or a towel for some tush comfort. We had an early morning game (9 a.m.) with sun already out and ended up setting the tent up for shade. There are some random areas to each side of the bleachers but more so for smaller tent set up or even lawn chairs in those areas and also near trees/grassy areas for some additional shade. If you plan to sit in the bleachers, come ready with the above stated and even umbrellas. There were a few moms on our team that sat in lawn chairs in front of the first row of bleachers. Not a whole lot of room though. Literally just 2-3 chairs there were set up. I also noticed another tent, maybe two can be set up next to the dug out (first base side). Another tip: bring something to wipe down or brush off your seat. There are Crepe Myrtle trees that shed their flowers onto those seats.

Today we held our sorority's retreat at the Round Rock Opportunity Center (RROC). It is not an…read morealternative education facility within the Round Rock Independent School District, designed to provide support to students who need a more structured or specialized environment. This center plays an integral role in the student's educational ecosystem. RROC provides support to students who may be facing academic, behavioral, or personal challenges. RROC allows students to have a second chance at academic success through targeted instruction and support. RROC is a part of the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, however, it is not punitive but constructive. These students get to start with a clean slate and reimagine their academic success. We were very thankful to use the RROC facility for our retreat. We also donated school uniforms to RROC. The purpose of our sorority's retreat is to reflect on the first half of the year, lessons learned and edits for the second half of the year. We also are reviewing programs for the second half of the year and associated milestones and metrics. The retreat consists of a Kickoff with Welcome & Icebreaker. Next there was a community conversation with RROC leader and instructions how we could help RROC through community service. The morning was consumed with workshops ranging from mental wellness and fitness to career transitions and networking. Our sorority had a working lunch where highlights included cluster and leadership updates and retreat wrap up. All in all, it was a very productive day to learn more details about RROC and to conduct sorority business. It also was a great opportunity to bond with my sorority sisters. I always look forward to our annual retreats.

I am extremely disappointed with how this school has treated my son. In the short amount of time he…read morehas been here, a former staff member harassed him--following him to the restroom, making comments about his clothing, asking other students personal questions about him, and constantly picking on him. We reported these concerns and had a meeting about it, but all we were told was that she was no longer at the school. While things slightly improved afterward, nothing was done to address the harm that had already occurred. To make matters worse, another staff member not only went around asking another student for my son's phone number, but she actually called him after school to ask about drama happening at the school--nothing school-related, and nothing appropriate for an adult to discuss with a student. This behavior was completely unprofessional and unacceptable, yet the school chose to ignore it. Despite ignoring repeated misconduct by their own employees, the school immediately moved to expel my son the moment he was involved in one fight--while defending himself. Given everything he has endured, this feels like retaliation. The difference in accountability between a child and adult staff members is alarming. There are also major communication issues at this school. Many teachers struggle with a language barrier that leaves students confused about instructions and assignments, and little effort is made to fix it. This is especially harmful for students with 504 plans, who rely on clarity and support--not additional obstacles. Overall, sending our child to this school has been one of the worst decisions we could have made. Even in such a short time, it has become clear that this school is not here to support or protect its students. This experience has been unfair, discouraging, and completely unacceptable. Students and families deserve far better.

I have really struggled with whether or not to write a review for our time at the Joule School. I…read morewill readily admit that we not only had a short stint, but we also came in halfway through a school year - Spring semester and one month of Fall semester in 2018. I feel like there are so many reasons why our experience turned out to be such a negative one, so I would not want to deter anyone from considering Joule if they feel it would be a good fit. But I do want to caution families about some of our final concerns, especially for younger children. Thus the rating - if I'm honest, our experience was more 2 Stars or less, but I can't bring myself to mark it as such so I hope you'll read for a full explanation. The positives about the school are extensive. When I first read their philosophy on their website I felt like it was written directly to me. I wished I'd had a school option like this growing up. Student-led, open to movement, encouraging of different ideas. Academics modeled around the whole child and multiple disciplines. Not teaching to tests or conforming to the ideas of school we've had since the Industrial Age. It was exciting and empowering. The teachers were also warm and welcoming. The Director was informative and knowledgeable. Their discipline was democratic and the children were all unique and inquisitive. I still love their ideas and principles in theory - but in practice, it did not always run smoothly. The lack of structure and student-led methods turned out to be a destructive combination for my 4-year-old son. He was bored at his previous daycare, so we thought the academic challenge would be good for his curious mind. However, he began to regress dramatically socially and emotionally. He started acting out with attitude changes and behaviors that he'd overcome or never had previously. And while I refuse to act as if he had no agency in those actions, he was clearly influenced by some of the other children in his class and in the school. Some of the subjects in the school were pretty mature. It also appeared that screen time and playtime was not always well supervised. Inappropriate language and actions were sometimes used by the kids and teachers without consequence or with varying consequences, which only led to confusion. I am all for "kids being kids". We went to Joule because we did not want our child to feel burdened with unnecessary rigidity. Yet we left feeling like he had been burdened instead with words, images, and thoughts unnecessary for a kid his age to be exposed to so young. We are now at a new school that focuses on a better mix of social, emotional, and academic intelligence - for us. Again, I want to reiterate that our experience may be unique. There were several families at Joule that were perfectly happy, if not ecstatic, with the program. There were chances to really bond with such a small group - it ran more like a co-op, really. Which can be great if everyone gets involved. When we left, I was grateful to see that it seemed like a lot of the new families were really coming together to beautify the space and make it safer and cleaner for the students. Unfortunately, there was also a complete turnover of teaching staff in the short time since we'd started. Therefore, combined with our son's disruptive behavior not improving with the new semester, we decided we should probably just change schools since there was already going to be so much more change. He has improved greatly in the month we have been at his new school. Joule simply did not have the resources or infrastructure to provide everything we needed or wanted. And it's not that our son has special needs - I would say if that were the case and point out that they are open about not having the tools to cope with certain kids' needs. If anything, since his experience at Joule, he now needs some additional help to process his feelings and emotions and overcome rude language and behavior. But since removing him from Joule, he's much happier, kinder, and more fulfilled. I am extremely sad that we had such a negative experience at the Joule School. I will continue to stress that others clearly did not. Every child is different. Every parent is different. Every family is different. I still love the heart, soul, and idea of Joule. But I did not love the stress, pain, or frustration we felt while we were there. I just want parents to be mindful. Especially for younger students. Ask questions. Get involved. But if it's not the right fit, don't hesitate to leave.

Since the pandemic, Austin Coding Academy has really gone downhill. Last-minute schedule changes…read moreand overall disorganization have become the norm. It feels like they still haven't figured things out, and it's been pretty disappointing. The curriculum feels outdated and links to a bunch of youtube videos, which I could have seen for free. Plus, some of my peers aren't where they need to be, so it makes group projects suck. They seem to care more about the money than actual student success. Most of the positive reviews are from years ago. The place used to have a great reputation, but now it's just not the same. Until they sort things out, I wouldn't recommend Austin Coding Academy. There are other coding bootcamps out there with much better reputations and outcomes for a similar price.

Austin Coding Academy is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I just completed the intro…read morecourse, and I can confidently say that the intro course alone had a direct impact on my ability to secure a new, higher paying job that I love! Yes, there are 5 coding boot camps in Austin right now. Let me tell you what sets this program apart: 1. The Staff - The leadership and instructors at this school genuinely care deeply about 2 things. First, they care about you. They want you to succeed. They want you to make more money. They want you to take care of your family. And they do their best to make that happen through curriculum, project-based teaching, and networking. Second, they care about creating a workforce of people who can code well and contribute to the world. 2. They are affordable. Do the research yourself and compare, and these guys will still come out on top. 3. Last but not least, not only is the program designed for people who work full time, it is also broken into 3 10-week sessions. Maybe you're not sure if this is what you want to do for a living. Maybe you want to try out the first course and see how you do. You can do that here because you aren't forced into a long-term and expensive commitment. No matter what your education level may be (I never finished my Bachelor's degree), you can do this! I am planning on continuing this education, and you should plan on beginning it! *They are expanding to San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston as well.*
