When I registered for my classes, the amount that I had to pay was $4000 for one class. I had literally dropped off from the other class a couple days after I registered for it and was forced to pay the full amount for both classes! despite of dropping out of one of them. It is infuriating how rip off and money hungry these people are. This school is one of the worst schools I've ever been to. Let me start by saying that you have to pay an equal amount as if you would pay for a private school. Nobody helps you, it is a very expensive university which I don't get why when it's the worst, professors are so awful etc.

It's a small school in rural Indiana, that competes quite well with big schools in big cities. The faculty truly cares about the success of students and being a student is a ton of fun and hard work. Enough about my feelings, what was I looking for when I was in high school? Are my test scores good enough? - Taylor's competitive to get into. My scores weren't as high as my peers', but my admission letter contributed a lot of value. What's the job placement like? - I keep up regularly with classmates. Some of the companies/grad schools they are at include: Google, Microsoft, Ernst & Young, McKinsey Consulting, Amazon, Accenture, Edward Jones, Chase Bank, Pixar, Sentry Data Systems, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon, Red Hat, Intel, GE, Chic Fil A, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and Mayo Clinic. - Elementary Ed is very strong - Some classmates didn't want to go into the industry and taught english overseas, joined the peace corps, went on for an Masters of Div, etc. - Some classmates started their own companies in San Fran and are doing really well No alcohol? Strict rules? - We made our own fun. - Sometimes having rules makes it more fun ;D Why does everybody talk about 'community'? - I work in Chicago, so I experience the "headphones-in avoid others mentality" every single day. Taylor is the opposite. - Invert high school: in high school, differences result in being outcasted. While I was at Taylor, my differences seemed to make me more interesting to others. Is Chapel mandatory? - No, I missed chapel sometimes because I had committed to so many campus events, but when I went I found Chapel worship to be incredible. How can I afford this? - Use fafsa, student loans - Apply for scholarships - Pray (originally I said this jokingly, but seriously, pray about it) How hard is it? - Some majors are harder than others, its like taking 3-4 AP classes a semester - Classmates I saw in study rooms more than others: Engineering, Physics, Math, Comp Sci, Comp Eng, Chem, Bio, Pre-Med, Finance, Accounting, Elementary Ed What are the semesters like? - I think the max credit hour load is 17... that was when I was there though. - Most classes are 3-4 credit hours. - Classes with 5 credit hours typically involve a lab session. - Classes 1-2 hours are typically seminar or capstone classes. - Minimum is 12 hours to be on campus full time. What are "gen-eds"? - Everybody has to take a core set of classes - Some art, english, math/foreign language depending on if you go BA or BS - Religion classes - to this day I look back on my notes from Historic and Contemporary Christian Belief Can I study abroad? - Yes. - You will need to pay for tickets to go there and back. - A few I knew best were a semester in Ireland, j-term in greece/italy, j-term in China Where to go for fun? - Lots of campus events: Nostalgia Night, My Gen Night, Airband, Taylathon, Ice Cream Socials, Holipalooza, SIlent Night, Outdoor movie fests - Muncie or Marion (half hour) - Indy (hour) Greek life? - Wings and Floors have deep rooted traditions and subcultures - Some healthy loyalty and rivalry exists between these groups - Examples include: foundation, SIIS, broho, penthouse, 2nd west, 3rd east, 3rd center, Foso, bhone Tips: - Save all your work, I reference my old work from college often - Try before you buy, go for an "overnight" stay. I did this and loved it.

Erskine-Green Training Institute was founded by the Arc of Indiana Foundation in 2016 as a "first…read moreof its kind" postsecondary vocational training program that specifically targets serving individuals whose academic, social, communication, and adaptive skills are affected due to a disability. Housed inside Muncie's Courtyard by Marriott on High Street, which is also owned by Arc of Indiana Foundation and managed by General Hotels Corporation, Erskine-Green Training Institute is named after two esteemed Hoosiers - Carl Erskine and Steve Green - both of whom have had their lives significantly impacted by disability and who've spent much of their lives advocating for people with disabilities. Erskine-Green offers 10-13 week programs in specific fields including hospitality, food service, healthcare, and inventory distribution. The programs aim to offer individuals with disabilities tangible job skills that will allow them to enter market-wage jobs in integrated community settings. At the three year mark, their success rate is between 80-85% in terms of those who've graduated from an Erskine-Green program actually finding jobs in their fields of choice. In other words, Erskine-Green is groundbreaking and it's changing the lives of people with disabilities for the better. The vast majority of students who attend Erskine-Green actually live within the Courtyard by Marriott during their 10-13 week training program. This provides the feeling of a "campus" and allows them to gain natural supports while also growing independent living skills. The community has embraced the program, with Ball State University serving as a resource for part-time employees who provide support, mentoring, and serve in other capacities. Ball State also provides other resources of support. IU Health has proven to be a strong corporate supporter and IU Health - Ball Memorial is a training site as is the Courtyard by Marriott and the 625 TapHouse located inside the hotel. In the program's early days, Scott Wise and Thr3e Wisemen Brewery was also a strong supporter. While I didn't attend Erskine-Green, I've been a supporter from its beginning and if you ever visit the Courtyard by Marriott you can find my name on the hotel's donor wall as someone who has done two fundraising events for the program. Funding for the program comes largely from Vocational Rehabilitation, though other funding sources exist including grants, self-pay, and both state/federal funds. I myself started a scholarship program at Erskine-Green. Entrance into Erskine-Green is not "automatic." You do have to have a certain degree of independent living skills, for example being able to handle or arrange for the handling of personal care, but other skills, like learning how to utilize public transportation, are taught within the framework of the program. Erskine-Green Training Institute has been so successful that plans are already underway to open a second campus in Evansville. Erskine-Green celebrates its alumni and maintains contact, though job placement is largely up to Vocational Rehabilitation counselors, job coaches, or an individual's support team. As part of the program, however, the students are taught both resume creation and interview skills. Erskine-Green offers career sampling sessions several times throughout the year and monthly general tours. As a working adult with a disability, Erskine-Green excites me because it's a quality program with a terrific staff and is empowering individuals with a disability to live up to their dreams and their highest potential. I've spoken at the school a couple times and I've been constantly impressed by teachers, leadership, students, volunteers, and everyone involved. The results speak for themselves and it's exciting to watch people realize they can truly chase their dreams. Erskine-Green continues to be one of Indiana's best kept secrets with a reputation that is growing that ensures the school won't be a secret much longer.

EXCELLENT GRADUATE NURSING STAFF…read more In 2019, I completed IWU's PMHNP-MSN graduate nursing program and successfully passed the ANCC Board Test. In January 2025, I returned to IWU to study to become an FNP and just finished the first of three required classes and clinical rotations. The Graduate Nursing Staff has been very supportive and available to help guide me in my studies. Dr. Gowan, Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Antworth, and Dr. Huff have been great. My Enrollment Counselor, Alita W., made the enrollment process a breeze. I did not become an RN until I was 57, and a PMHNP when I was 63. I just turned 69 and will hopefully pass the ANCC or AANP Board Testing after I complete the program in December 2025 and go on to continue learning and working to be the best provider I can be.
