It was just the right balance of support for growth in independence with scaffolding.

She only did spring semester. Positives: pre-camping experience was amazing/powerful/beautiful. It Would have been much more enjoyable in August (she did snow camping that really cold week in January.) We always felt like she was safe in her apartment and in the city of Worster. The logistics of moving in and living in an apartment were very easy. From a parents perspective is was well organized. She learned to navigate the city bus with confidence, she learned the consequences of not showing up and not calling (she got 'fired.'). The staff helped her find another internship which she loved (Jeremiah's Inn food pantry.) The Clark classes were easy college credits to earn. Negatives: My daughter said the weekly workshops were useless. They didn't do any group cooking. All the kids complained that $150 wasn't enough to buy food/toiletries and still have money to do activities in the weekend. (I said, cook more Dash less.) Too much alone time online in her room. The weekly activities were not very appealing. Overall a good safe program but not nearly as good as the sales pitch makes it out to be. I wish they charged a few hundred to $1,000 more and organized some fun group outings and had group dinner several nights per week. My kid was more likely to show up to the events with free food but it was usually just snacks or pizza. My kid would go bowling or to a concert if the group was going but she is never going to plan and pay for it on her own. Hence, she didn't do much in Worster except work, take the bus and go to the grocery store. We are 12 months post-Dynamy and she just finished her first year of college. She said Dynamy was harder than living in a dorm. Getting her own food and taking the bus was a lot.

We had to give the first speech in the auditorium. That cured my fear of public speaking for life! I went on to graduate high school at 16. Then I attended Quinsigamond from 16-18 years of age. I joined student government and became secretary. My second year, I became student government president and was Valor Victorian at graduation. That course in Speech really paid off! I went on to U-Mass Amherst and have been teaching in Florida for over 25 years. If I can do it, anyone that puts their mind to it can end up successful after studying here. I visited this summer when I was home. I'm so impressed with how much the campus has grown and how beautiful the property is. I was impressed with the food bank. The quality of the food that they have was amazing with fresh vegetables and meat. The cafeteria and the bookstore are still in the same location. I was able to buy a T-shirt, even though it was summertime. It was wonderful to walk the halls and climb the stairs where I studied so long ago.

"Advisor" who contacted my kid via email, provided inaccurate information that my kid followed to the letter, only to receive contradicting emails from the registrar's office and business office. They want money for a class he is not even being permitted to enroll in! WHAT?!!!!!! Emails were not only written to try to drop the course on the deadline (as the registrar's office does NOT answer phones during their "business hours"), but voice messages were left as well. He COULD NOT drop on his account. NOT PERMITTED. Screenshots are valuable, and I highly recommend CYA to any student. Clearly, this organization not only hires unprofessional and incompetent people, but taxpayers $$$$$$ should not be going to this "institution of learning." Anything but... RUN, RUN, RUN !!!!!!

The education at Assumption is something so unique, your life really is transformed like the motto claims. Being grounded in the liberal arts, the curriculum offers so much to the students. The walls of the classroom fold down, and the knowledge you learn from individual classes becomes one. You are transformed into a critical thinker, a knowledge seeker, an intellectual, and a man or woman of great confidence in yourself. It is an unparalleled school filled with amazing faculty, students, opportunities, research, community spirit, school spirit, and thrist for truth. Being a science major at a catholic college was something that was always a challenge. I think that I am a more aware scientist in the fact that I know some things can't be explained with science alone. I am in graduate school right now at Northeastern University, and I am prepared for the all the challenges ahead both in school, and in life. I am confident in my ability to tackle everything that life will throw at me because of my experience at AC. Assumption is a hidden gem. When you find it, your life will truly be transformed.

But seriously, if you jones for alternative medicine, you gotta come here. They do both Chinese and Japanese, and have a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dispensary. Sign up for weekly or biweekly treatments at the student clinic and you're seen by a second--year or higher student with faculty supervision. Depending on the style of your student, they take your pulse, look at your tongue, palpate your hips, neck and stomach. Be prepared: they ask you weird questions that only make sense to them that include your food cravings, bathroom habits and sleep patterns. To be specific without being overly graphic, they ask (in very professional tones, like a doctor) how often you pee, sometimes what color it is, how often you poop, and if it's formed. I dunno what it all means, but that's not my job. So they needle you and you get to lie there on a comfy massage table for 20 minutes and zone out while the needles do their magic. I find that part just as therapeutic--kinda like how you feel after a massage: sleepy-happy. It's not like a salon where you can request a specific student; you often get the luck of the draw, or your schedule, Depending on the student, the treatment can be effective, or not, although I've seen students markedly improve in their needling technique and effectiveness by the end of the semester. The problem is, is if you like a particular student, you can't see them next semester, because this is part of their education: they need to be exposed to as many patients as possible. An occasional bonus is that many students were bodyworkers therapists or Reiki practitioners, so sometimes you can get a quick head, arm or or neck massage if it's applicable to your treatment. If you don't like needles, try the Japanese style--they're narrower and don't hurt as much. If you're afraid/squeamish of blood, you really only bleed if you're needled in a spot where the chi is stuck, and the amount is very minimal. And if you bleed, it's supposed to be good because you're unsticking what was stuck. Why pay $55 and up a session when you can pay $30? They also have satellite programs at other health centers. The one at Dimock is voluntary donation, and you could probably get away with paying $10. Tons of parking on the street and in the shopping center behind it.
