I had a horrible experience with the photo-chemical science PhD program at BGSU that I'd like warn…read morecurrent and prospective students to stay away from this program. I was offered admission without funding, which is not an arrange a reputable US PhD program will make and accept. The supervision style here relies on excessive micromanagement with low transparency on broad project idea and requirements in milestones like the qualification exam and graduation, tricking students into doing works beyond their degree and course requirements. The advisor demands "research productivity" in the 1st year in a US program without adequate training in basics and without any funding, and will leverage academic backing for that. I made clear in my application that I intended to pursue research in computational photo-chemistry, faculty attempted to redirect me into doing experiments; resisting that pressure provoked further threats and withdrawal of support. Faculties in the program use grades as bargaining counters in multiple occasions to "persuade" me to change advisors, obey their arrangement and not to file any complaint. The program coordinator told me he decided to assign me a "C" in a course, but no grade was officially posted for a month. Once I mentioned that I would exercise my student right to initiate a grade appeal, I immediately got an "A". I was also told that recommendation letters would be withheld should I sought to leave and reapply to a better program, effectively using students' future careers as leverage for forced unpaid labor. Some faculty members, including the advisor, are violating my student privacy right by leaking class activities and academic standing to third parties (like parents, professors and advisors in other institutions) without my written consent, and without ever being selected as my references. This, combination-- "I don't respect students' personal boundary" and "I want to avoid conflict", "I will not recommend you" and "I will informally and secretly leak you academic standing"--demonstrates a self-centered approach in which student welfare is disregarded whenever it inconveniences the advisor. When they give advises their main concern is at extracting as much free labor from the student as possible, not at serving the student's best educational interest. The program's website advertises a "safe, accepting, unprejudiced, and fair learning environment",which cannot be further away from the truth from my personal experience as the only Asian student. My academic standing stored there is definitely unsafe as it could be accessed and disclosed by faculty without my consent. I was the only one expected to work without financial support but with a good academic standing in the first year and was singled out when I questioned this disparity. The graduate coordinator specifically told me not to request for funding because I would "get paid 100k+/year after graduation," Students are micromanaged to do repetitive, grinding tasks disguised as "training" which are not meant to train students into independent researchers. In sharp contrast to the advertising, expressing contrasting scientific opinions is also met with accusations of distrust from the advisor and filing complaints will trigger retaliation by withdrawing academic backing. These practices are incompatible with fostering students' potential or providing equitable treatment, and they demonstrate systemic prejudice, intimidation, and retaliation--which further reinforces my opinion that the program is prejudiced, unsafe, unaccepting, and discriminatory. The implied underlying true "value" seems to be the maintenance of deception, manipulation and exploitation rather than the education and development of students. I strong advise against anyone to apply to or stay in this program that provides a discriminatory, coersive and toxic working environment to PhD students. If you have a high GPA and a better background, and don't want to be used as a lab-monkey, please kindly do yourself a favor and apply to somewhere else.

If you are college student looking for a off campus rental house. By all means, do not rent through…read moreFrobose Rentals. Renting with them for 2 years, all 8 of my roommates and other renters with other houses, can attest to staying away from these guys. There houses consistently have black mold growing on the ceilings of all bathrooms with rodents infesting the basements and lurking underneath the houses. If you request maintenance for a broken item in the house, they will charge you time and money for the repairman to come. A huge problem is that they are only in there office about 2-3 hours a day with taking a 2 hour lunch midday every day. They scam every college student renter in every possible way for every dime and penny they can cough out of you. You can expect to not receive any of your deposit back by e end of your lease. The houses are not even equipped with carbon monoxide detectors let alone even being up to inspection code. Please if you are looking to rent in Bowling Green, look for another rental company in the area. It'll save you time an money.

This apartment complex has been open for roughly a year and a half. There are a total of 10 units,…read moreand the landlord currently running it is a friendly elderly man named Floyd Craft, who owns the Ben Franklin store across the street. After being scammed by another apartment business in town, my family called the rental department of the city and was given this man's contact information. We talked with him and set up an appointment to see all of the apartments available at the time for rent (at the time I think at least 5 were still vacant). Every apartment is a little bit unique in its design and they look amazing. There are 1 & 2 bedroom units, some with one bathroom, others with two. This complex was built from the ground up, and everything is brand new and high quality materials. The apartments have a secure PED access and video entry to get in. There is an updated fire safety system with sprinklers. Every apartment has digital whole-unit heating and A/C that they control for themselves. The units are capable of setting up cable, internet, and landlines, but if you want any of these, you have to incur the costs. The rent varies around $1500 or more a month, which includes all utilities including electric (except cable, internet, or phones). Every tenant is given their own mailbox that's opened with a key, and it's not difficult to get packages. You also get a parking spot for each tenant. Trash is taken out to a common dumpster by the entrance to the building and is easy to find.The maintenance person, Jeff, is very good at getting to you to fix things pretty quickly, and if he cannot come in an emergency, the landlord or someone will help. The management is very organized and I love that this place is so secure. Most of the neighbors I have seen are pretty friendly, but I don't see them much due to their work schedules. I absolutely love living here and am very happy that I found this place. The downtown location is also great, as it is very close to the BGSU campus, local shopping, and many nice restaurants and bars. So many great places are just a short walk from the main doors. It is honestly the best apartment complex you will find in Bowling Green, and possibly even the entire county. If you are looking for an apartment, this is a great choice, but it's also limited in spaces
