I just completed a three day Introductory to Grants Management and Cooperative Agreements training…read more This training was in no way introductory. The trainer had to speed through the content and was even asked to slow down multiple times. This training needs to be broken into two classes with one actually having the introductory information and one with the rest. The trainer had to read to us from the manual and she read the slides to us. She did the best she could with the training materials provided to her. I would only recommend this course to someone who has experience in grants and cooperative agreements. Even the trainer was asking the participants how they usually run their grants and the different functions. Some of the participants were very well versed, meaning they were probably taking this as part of obtaining a certificate. Very unfortunate.

Bowie State University is a gem of a school right in the heart of Prince George's County. If you…read moreare considering college, pay them a visit to see it for yourself. I have come to events on campus many times over the years, but my most recent visit was eye-catching. Significant resources have been poured into the campus as new buildings and grand refurbishments and renovations continue apace. This should be the norm for all HBCUs around the country. It is a testament to the value the state places on its universities, although the level of investment pales in comparison to College Park. The quad is the envy of other schools, some with higher endowments, tuitions, and budgets. It is big enough that it feels like a university but still small enough to feel like home. My favorite feature/building/concept is the Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (ELLC). Home to students who want to be entrepreneurs, here they live (brand new dorms), eat, and learn (classrooms and other spaces). There is a business and creative synergy that is self evident all throughout the space. I took a cohort of school age mentees for a tour and lunch at BSU. They were over-the-moon about the Student Center Dining Hall's food and modern decor. The food choices included fresh vegetables and fruits, custom made salads and bowls, hand crafted pizza, grilled to order items, and high quality rotating items from a self-serve bar. The seating area had huge windows where the sunlight shone through. The academic and recreational buildings were top tier. But what struck me most was the energy, passion, and intelligence of the students and faculty. They treated my mentees like little brothers coming to campus to learn from older siblings. The students seemed supportive of each other. D9 organizations got along too., but the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. always raise the bar. Bowie State University should be proud of the work they continue to do and the student needs they continue to meet. Five stars easily earned!

Going to Omega was one of the best experiences of my life! I went to Omega and finished in March of…read more2016. I am writing to counteract the awful reviews I see here and give another side of the story. I was retiring from a career as a public school teacher and wanted to learn more about live music. I have a passion for attending live shows and thought this would be an interesting way to further that passion. As a middle-aged woman I was in the minority! Often folks thought I was some student's mother! Every teacher, every employee of Omega treated me with the greatest respect, encouraged me and supported me at every turn. I'm sorry others had a bad experience with Pete, the owner, but I found him to be gracious, and extremely knowledgable in his field. Perhaps you are the kind of person who can learn from the internet, or from experience on your own. I wasn't and a large number of fellow students seem to be the same. The students who succeed are the ones who set aside life's fun and games for a while and devoted themselves to study and practice. If you finish (and really who needs a graduation - never been to one in my life and I have a master's degree) and don't get a job in the field that's on you. Robert provides many opportunities for entry level positions. Yes, and even with your much more expensive 4 year degree you may start working at an entry level position. Please consider that unhappy people are the ones who write reviews. Satisfied folks aren't motivated! And why are all the positive reviews in the "not recommended" part of Yelp? I am now in my 3rd year of retired life, touring the country with a blues/rock band and thankful for my decision to attend Omega.

You should remember that the man who was in charge of the graduations had health issues and nobody took over his duties at this unprofessional establishment & NO ONE let any of the students know what was going on. You may not have been working there when the assault took place but it did indeed happen. You wanna call me a liar, I can name names. You act like a whole classroom of students didn't witness it. Yall lied abt firing him & you're STILL lying abt it. Robert, the man who supposedly helps with job placement, never returned phone calls & in that convo abt hopes & dreams & future jobs didn't actually listen to or care abt what field you wanted to pursue. Another reviewer mentioned touring w/ a band. Yes, that's abt all one is going to find out here. Most ppl cannot pack up & follow a band around. Most ppl going to Omega are not retirees looking for their late life career. MOST ppl coming to Omega are young and need a steady job upon leaving to pay off the massive debt they just incurred. And no, Omega does not have enough jobs for all the students they take in. I never wanted to leave a one star review for this school. I finally got Peterson on the phone (after him ducking me & lying abt calling me back) to see if there was ANYTHING that could be done to resolve our issues & the whole conversation was him condescending to me, lying & stonewalling. I was hoping Omega would be everything yall made it out to be. But the lying starts w/ Mr Goldstein promising WAY more than yall are caple of, it continues w/ Mr Peterson who carelessly brushed me off & apparently they now use you to come on here & harass legitimate reviewers....THREE yrs later.

I wanted to share my experience with Julia Brown School regarding my daughter's time there…read more Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing and left us feeling that the environment was not supportive of helping children adjust and thrive. When my daughter was placed in a new classroom, she had been there for less than a full day before we began receiving calls asking us to pick her up because she was "not listening to instructions." As any parent knows, transitions to a new classroom can be challenging for young children. It typically takes time for them to feel comfortable with new teachers, classmates, and expectations. Instead of allowing her a reasonable adjustment period or working with us on strategies to help her settle in, the school seemed irritated by the situation and quick to remove her from the classroom. We were hoping the staff would demonstrate patience, professionalism, and a child-centered approach--giving her at least a week or two to adapt to the new environment. Unfortunately, that level of support and understanding was not demonstrated. Repeated calls to pick her up after such a short time in the classroom made it feel like the priority was convenience rather than helping a child succeed. Every child deserves educators who are willing to guide them through transitions with patience and care. We had hoped for a more supportive and professional approach from the school in ensuring that our child had the opportunity to adjust and thrive.

The teachers are phenomenal and the campus is clean and neat. School communications are clear and prompt, there's always someone there to answer questions or concerns. One of my favorite parts of JBS Silver Spring is the community. We have met life-long friends both for the kids and us parents. Often when a child leaves JBS Silver Spring, we stay in touch with the family since the kids build such a close bond. I can't imagine us being anywhere else, it's truly our dream school come true.
