I was a weekend warrior, attending 16 hours every other weekend. Those were some long days, but I…read morewould rather do it all at once and get it over with. I was ahead of my cohort, because I hate procrastinating. The classes were interesting, for the most part. The books are too expensive, however. I would get some at my public library first, before, so heads up. Try to find books on line, or free first. The campus is nice. A lot of students in my group didn't graduate in time, because they couldn't find an internship. I met with only one school, and got in immediately. It was quite intensive. I attained one thousand hours of the "Kids hours," which are the most difficult to get ( only 500 are required for licensure). My internship was at Vista Del Mar, with children with special needs, and I was greatly appreciated there. I was going broke, bc it was 30+ hours a week, unpaid, but most internships are, unfortunately. I think because I brought a lot of needed comedic relief to the staff, and parents, that I was beloved there. They wanted me to finish my internship there, but I wanted to expand my experience, other than just work on behavioral issues with kids, as I have worked in public schools on an off, for over a decade. The cafeteria is a bit of a mess, from what I remember. Quite expensive and we all ate like pigs, and kept hitting the candy machines. I am one of the few people in my cohort who passed the Ph.D level class in "Neuropsych" testing. Unfortunately, due to a life-threatening complication from a surgery, I would be on the other side of that test, and failing with flying colors. I have a severe brain injury and still have not paid off my loans, and lost all of my hours, along with everything else I have ever worked for. This idiot editor had not heard from me in several years and actually threw away my hard drive with all of my papers, some which I wanted to publish. It's all a disgusting loss.

If I could give this school a negative rating, I would…read more After finishing my undergraduate degree, I entered Antioch University's Clinical Psychology program with a specialization in Spiritual and Depth Psychology. I was young, hopeful, and trusting, drawn to Antioch because of its stated commitment to healing, inclusivity, and social justice. Those values aligned perfectly with mine. I came in excited and ready to grow. But what I experienced was the opposite. The support I was promised never existed. I was given only Google Voice typing as an accommodation, which did not meet my needs. When I explained that I could not type or write due to my disability, they accused me of asking for too much and blamed me for struggling. I was placed in the position of having to email constantly through severe hand and wrist pain. I begged for temporary support until I could hire a personal assistant--something that should have been easily granted. They refused. Eventually, friends had to volunteer to type for me. Once I had real support (from outside the school), my pain decreased, my anxiety eased, and I could finally focus. That support should have come from Antioch. Instead, I was met with coldness, judgment, and punishment. One professor demanded that I translate the DSM-5 into Farsi during my accommodation crisis. The faculty decided this would somehow help me succeed, even though I clearly explained that I process and understand information better in English, not Farsi. This demand showed how little effort they made to truly listen to me or meet my real needs. And this happened before AI tools were widely available--I couldn't rely on technology for help. I depended on the school to provide real, human-centered accommodations. They failed. One professor also issued a formal letter of concern when I showed up to office hours to ask for help. I even told a professor, "I don't know how to advocate for myself yet--please coach me." Instead of support, they used my vulnerability against me, labeling me "unprofessional." They punished me for trying to grow. I was left alone to figure everything out. Professors didn't hold real office hours. Tutoring was unreliable. I had to build my own support system outside of the university just to survive. I often wondered: Why am I going under $150,000 loan for if the most basic support doesn't exist for students like me? I attended Antioch between 2021-2022, at a time when real, human-centered support was essential. Instead of coaching me through challenges, they put me on a remediation plan. And after meeting every unreasonable demand they gave me, they still unjustly removed me from the program. It broke my spirit. It harmed my health. It gave me PTSD. To Antioch Faculty and Leadership: When a student with a disability tells you they're struggling, your duty is not to shame, retaliate, or punish. It is to coach, guide, and build an environment where they can safely grow. Every student deserves a chance to thrive--not just in words, but in action. Stop projecting. Start listening. Lead with humility, not ego. Education is sacred work. To Future Students: If you have a disability, or if you believe education should be about healing and empowerment, be cautious. Get every accommodation in writing. Protect yourself. You deserve more than empty promises--you deserve real support. If you have been mistreated by a school, remember: You are not broken. Yes, students are always growing--but the system must also grow. When schools fail to support students, it's not the student who is the problem. The system that failed you needs healing and serious self-reflection. Blaming students only hides the real work that institutions must do. Thank you for reading. And to every student who's been silenced, pushed aside, or retraumatized: I see you. I stand with you. Keep going. Side Note: During my time at Antioch, one of the few faculty members who truly tried to help me was also retaliated against. It was horrifying to witness--and it showed me how deeply fear ruled the system, harming not only students but compassionate faculty too. I share this because I believe no school, no business, no system should ever operate from fear. Our world today urgently needs institutions led by kindness, love, and heart-centered human beings. That begins with each individual taking responsibility for their own healing--learning to detach from ego, letting titles and degrees serve humanity rather than dominate it. The "pieces of paper" we've given so much value to--degrees, credentials, status--should not be used as tools of terrorization and exploitation. They were meant to empower and uplift, not to harm. Until systems choose love over fear, they cannot truly claim to be serving humanity. I hope for a future where all educational institutions lead from the heart--or step aside to make room for those who will.

As a fellow yelper said it so well.. are we really going to rate USC on Yelp? LOL!!…read more I am delighted and thrilled to share I am now an alumna of USC. As a yelper here for over 13 years, I don't sugarcoat my words (or in my reviews), and I don't intend to do so here either. The USC program is rigorous and not for everyone. There were so many readings that I often genuinely wondered if it was even humanly possible to get through them all. Granted, I am a slow reader, and that certainly did not help. Beyond the beautiful campus and the prestige that comes with the school, more importantly know that there is no financial aid for tuition fees for master program. Education does not come cheap. Still I am grateful for the learning experience and for my many professors who were simply wonderful and amazing professionals. A big shout out to Dr. Julianna Kirschner, Professor Monica Koyama, Dr. Muthuswamy and Dr. Courtney Pade. P.S. I do wish I had been in the class of Dr. Bracero and Dr. Akira; I have heard so many amazing things about them.

I didn't attend this prestigious University; however, I joke that I am an honorary alumna. My brothers from another mother all graduated from here, and I attend Homecoming with them every year. In fact, I used to work with Eddie Tannenbaum who discovered Traveler (USC's Mascot) when he was a junior in 1961. The campus is beautiful and features several Romanesque Revival style buildings. A portion of the main campus was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The Coliseum is in walking distance. I've attended many football games here over the years and have seen Clay Matthews, Reggie Bush, Mark Sanchez, & Matt Leinart play. I remember the glory days of Pete Carroll. Our favorite tailgate party is the one hosted by LAMBDA. They have a great DJ, delicious food, a premium bar, fun activities and, of course, fabulous attendees! This year we were treated to yummy eats from Bludso's BBQ & tasty treats by Ice Cream Occasions. When the party was over, we all headed to the Coliseum for the match between the Trojans & the Huskies. Sadly, we lost this game but we will continue to Fight On!

I took two courses and they both required all work due at midnight. Well, I work late on occasions. And sometimes I'm not able to get to my computer until midnight but by then it's too late. Needless to say, I ended up turning in many assignments late due to this. I spoke to instructors but they could not help. So I lost about 3K thanks to university of phoenix. If you need flexibility, this is not the place for you. Look elsewhere. I hope this review helps others. I wish i would have seen a review similar to this before I started.

I've been a student at Meridian for a year and a half, working toward a master's degree in…read moreeducation. After this short time, I feel like a completely different version of myself than when I first enrolled. Being a student at this school involves more than just learning the basic information required to check all the boxes for a degree or licensure. If you're open to intense academic and emotional work that has the potential to help you become a more centered and capable person and professional, then I highly recommend looking into this school. My experience with Meridian has changed the way I see and respond to the world. As I grow into a more capable, confident, and authentic version of myself, I engage with the world more comfortably than I used to. I have a great deal of room to grow, but now I have the tools to more easily pinpoint and take my next steps to keep developing. This is because Meridian encourages students to reflect on, discuss, deeply explore, and embody the many aspects of human experience and development. I appreciate that they focus on self-reflection, experiential learning, working through challenging emotions, and dialoguing with peers to build developmental practitioner skills. The variety of opportunities to practice what is learned truly helps me to embody the lessons. At the same time, the academics are rigorous, well-researched, well-planned, and up-to-date. This combination of information and practice is what I think makes the program so effective at potentially transforming the student. I say "potentially" because ultimately the student is responsible for their own transformation. Not everyone will align with the ways of this school, and it seems that the students who feel less aligned do have a harder time getting through it. But also, some of them are still going strong and honestly will probably grow more than those who don't have a hard time. The workload is intense, but also manageable (especially with the asynchronous schedule and virtual access). I am attending school full-time while working full-time, running a podcast with another student, and starting a business. The staff and faculty will not hold your hand. However, I do feel that they supply you with everything you need. Sometimes that includes NOT holding your hand and letting you work through the challenges and discomfort that go along with claiming your own path. This type of transformation can be uncomfortable because it requires you to constantly reframe the way you look at life and to reflect on challenging experiences, but the program is also designed to help you learn to be more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you are ready to take responsibility for yourself, your professional path, your actions, and how you approach the world, then this might be exactly the challenge you need to become a leader in your own life and in your community. Regarding my own personal path, I don't think I could have gotten a better education. *** I volunteered to spend way too much time writing this review (when I really should be doing homework) because I feel so much gratitude to the staff and faculty. You can tell they care by how much thought and energy they dedicate to developing the best possible learning experience and environment. My life is exponentially better because of their hard work. They taught me to be more concise than I am in this review, but what can I say? My passion and gratitude for this school have flooded over in the form of words. Now back to homework...
