This school is so awful. I have heard stories of people spending hours and hours studying and doing…read morework only to be surprised by their exams later, which had nothing to do with the material. Although there are a few good teachers, many are inconsiderate and rude. The work load is not realistic for students, and the frustrating cycle of never being good enough is a constant struggle for students. Teachers are often degrading and humiliating as well, calling out students in the rudest way possible unnecessarily, and teachers picking favorites and being flat out rude is also apparent. Although a few high level classes are available, the school's schedule set-up often prevents those classes from being utilized. The school building itself is gross as well. There is hair everyone - on the floors, on the walls, in the bathrooms. The conditions of the school are hazardous and embarrassing. For the increasing price, there are many better private schools in the area that are better options for a future college student.

My son was accepted into this school for chemical engineering. Admissions invited us to a women's…read morebasketball game against University of Richmond. We took the opportunity after the game to visit the college of engineering. We wanted to give our son a first hand look of this part of the campus, if he chose to pick this school. Being able to walk the campus with an unassisted tour allowed us to form our own opinions instead of someone telling us what they want us to hear. Grant it, there is a huge benefit of taking a guided tour of schools, but we did this completely spirit of the moment. The school was very clean, they had a east and west building. We visited one of the buildings and just walked through and looked in rooms, read signs. The building was very very neat, and we saw students studying in their Saturday classes. It wasn't too busy not to mention we were careful not to disrupt anyone but it was interesting to see on our own. Wherever my son selects to go I am sure it will be his choice and we will back him 100%. Until then this is a great campus in the city of Richmond and I am glad we was able to see it.

Can't say enough positive things about the Visual Arts Center (VAC) of Richmond!…read more One, they have free parking in the back for patrons! I could end the review there but I will continue. My partner and I checked out the VAC for one of their Second Friday Art Classes. They offer $15 dollar art classes on the second friday of each month making strides in making art accessible. We ended up doing an air dry clay workshop which was extremely fun (you can see our amazing creations in the photos). Our instructor was kind and taught us some really amazing tips. While we waited for our class to start we roamed around and checked out their exhibits. This is a stunning place to view some art work, so many talented artists pieces are on display, you won't get bored here. We even got to learn about our next date night by examining the community board. The VAC of Richmond is an amazing example of community, learning and wonder. Can't wait to return for my next art class adventure!

Lauri Jenkins teaches sewing and I cannot recommend her enough. She has taken something…read moreintimidating and made it fun. The lessons are scaffolded so you build on your skills with each project, adding a new skill while incorporating what you have learned so far. She is encouraging and will tell you "nice job!" making you feel like a pro when you're not....but you'll be a whole lot closer under her tutelage. She is awesome. Everyone I talked to at the center is super nice and they offer a wealth of classes, many with various levels so you can build on your skills or just a one day class to do something fun and bring a project home. I like to learn and I like to meet new people and I so much enjoy being here. I just hate the parking since I am not a city dweller (lol!) and there is always someone waiting to lay in on their horn if you don't move fast enough. Oh well. There is some parking available in a lot if you get there early enough. I am sooooo wanting to take every class here!! You should too.

Mrs. Rivers was one of the biggest highlights of the program. You can truly tell she loves teaching…read moreand cares about her students succeeding. She's patient, encouraging, and teaches in a way that makes you feel more confident working with real patients. The program gave me hands on experience, helped me build confidence in my CNA skills, and made me feel well prepared overall. I'd definitely recommend this school to anyone looking into becoming a CNA.

So-called "clinical experience" is in one of the worst nursing homes in Virginia, and even there, you don't do much. In this fall's course, half the students flunked before clinicals, which should tell you something about the quality of teaching. I'd like to know how many who pass ever actually pass the state CNA exam. Bottom line: Don't waste your money on this program!

This school is huge!…read more It is so large it reminded me of a hospital. Very upscale here and I love it! I attended the school's gym a week ago to root on our Bulldogs. But they fell short at the end. You would think, one would enter in the front of the school to attend the basketball game. But there was another entrance about a mile around the school where we needed to enter. Instead of walking in the cold, we drove around to bus ramp area and this is where the gym is located. The gym here is pretty large it definitely accommodated the large crowd on a weeknight... Varina vs Kings Fork... a rematch from last year. The Bulldogs fell short again! I am not sure if the concession stand was open because when we arrived it wasn't. As a result, minus one star. If the stand did open, they must not have offered a lot because I did not see one nacho, one hotdog... nothing... bummed! Plenty of parking. Check it out if you are in the area. It's massive. Have fun and enjoy life :)

My experience with HPI has been absolutely, positively spectacular from beginning to end…read more I tried for a long time to attend a gun safety and training class for absolute beginners. I found scheduling with other venues to be difficult, if not impossible. With HPI, it's EASY. After booking my first private lesson I received a personal call from the owner himself. He wanted to make sure I felt completely comfortable coming into his place of business, attending a lesson by myself, and to answer any questions I might have. He reassured me that I should feel completely comfortable with all of his instructors, which I have found to be 100% true 100% of the time. My instructor ended up being David Connor. Like the rest of my experience, I only have the incredibly positive feedback regarding David's training. He knows everything under the sun there is to know about guns; and I'm not just talking about the various type of guns and ammo, local shops, accessories, etc. (even though he DOES know and offer all of this knowledge) but David talks extensively about the history of guns going back as far as I can possibly imagine. As an instructor, David is incredibly patient and gifted. He can anticipate needs and fears and truly listens, which is rare and extremely appreciated. He's also incredibly thorough in his instruction and guidance - I have never once felt unsure about what to do or what to expect. Every interaction I've had with someone from HPI has earned MORE than 5 stars. For anyone looking for any type of training, I would absolutely, positively, 100% recommend HPI.

As these things take time and can't be fixed in a day, these people have always taken time to help me anytime I needed. They offer many services that everyone should take...especially women!

They actually care about the person not the money or situation.
