The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) is a private art and design school in Providence. Our…read morecity is lucky to have such a top notch liberal arts school within city limits, which allows for diversity, youth, and innovation to thrive in the area. The school was founded as a coeducational institution in 1877 by Helen Adelia Rowe Metcalf, who sought to increase the accessibility of design education to women. Today, RISD offers bachelor's and master's degree programs across 19 majors and enrolls approximately 2,000 undergraduate and 500 graduate students. The Rhode Island School of Design Museum--which houses the school's art and design collections--is one of the largest college art museums in the United States. The Rhode Island School of Design is affiliated with Brown University, whose campus sits immediately adjacent to RISD's on Providence's College Hill. The two institutions share social and community resources and since 1900 have permitted cross-registration. Together, RISD and Brown offer dual degree programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. As of 2022, RISD alumni have received 10 MacArthur Genius fellowships, five Primetime Emmy Awards, and three Academy Awards. A 2016 analysis of the most successful American artists at auction found that the vast plurality held undergraduate degrees from RISD.

I completed the nail program at Anli Academy in February of this year. Despite this, I strongly…read moreadvise against attending this school due to its poor educational standards and blatant disregard for disability accommodations. Their discriminatory practices made my time there incredibly frustrating. I provided the school with an accommodations letter from my doctor for a diagnosed disability and was met with dismissal and hostility. The same thing occurred after having to take a few days off following a medically necessary surgical procedure. Despite the time off being approved ahead of time accompanied by a doctor's note, I was scolded. Upon my return from surgery, the director Cherie Chaves, sent me a lengthy email full of false allegations, discriminatory remarks and denial of my accommodations. I've attached a screenshot of part of her email. She suggested that I drop from the program and implied several times that my disability is a burden. She called me a liability because I had to follow physical restrictions for 2 weeks after surgery. I explained that I just needed a locker, which they gave to everyone else without a problem, but Cherie still scolded me about it. A few days after she emailed me, Cherie called me into her offer and stated that if she had known about my need for accommodations, she wouldn't have accepted me into the program. She called me "fragile" several times and an "extreme case," which was not only humiliating but also openly discriminatory. She said that if I had a condition like diabetes that she would be more understanding and implied that I'm just not trying hard enough. She stated that nobody in the school needed accommodations like I did and that they don't offer accommodations to anyone. Meanwhile, a classmate of mine received accommodations like open book tests in another room, having tests read out loud, and more. This highlighted a discriminatory double standard. Furthermore, my disability was discussed openly by instructors in front of other students, causing me humiliation. I tried to inform them privately but they would often ask about it out in the open. Attempts to advocate for myself were met with being labeled "difficult." Beyond that, the overall structure and quality of the program was disappointing. Instructors would regularly leave the classroom for up to an hour at a time, leaving students without direction. Students would often have to teach each other. There was very little opportunity to work on real clients and we spent most of our time practicing on mannequin hands with little to no feedback. My phase 3 instructor was incredibly lenient and didn't care if students skipped steps while performing services like manicures. I was a model for 2 evaluations where several steps were skipped. This may sound nice to some but when it comes to being prepared for working in a salon, it's detrimental to success. She was incredibly vulgar at times and spoke of things I can't even type here. I had to ask to change the topic because it was incredibly uncomfortable. Several instructors openly admitted to not knowing how to properly perform certain product applications or techniques. The examples they gave were far below even basic industry standards. I don't understand how they expect students to learn something that they cannot do themselves. An example of this is their sculpted acrylic application. I've attached a photo I took in class cause I was shocked that they put such an emphasis on something they haven't perfected. Directions were constantly inconsistent -- each instructor would say something different about how to do the same technique and tools, which left students confused. To add to this, the promise of job placement upon completion of the program is seemingly false. Throughout my time there, Anli Academy has demonstrated a significant inability to accommodate and respect students with disabilities. Their education is also not up to par with beauty industry standards. I cannot in good conscience recommend this school to anyone.

But life has a funny way of circling back with plot twists. Over a decade later, I'm thrilled to be admitted to Brown University for my Master's! I joined the inaugural cohort of their Online Master's in Data Science: Policy, Governance & Society. I didn't think I'd get into such a small, competitive program, but I shot my shot. And I got in! I was very fortunate to be able to visit the Brown campus on my own dime for grad school orientation week. Brown clearly takes very good care of its community and students. I enjoyed attending multiple events, meeting fellow Brunonians, and exploring the gorgeous New England campus. Go Bears! Once a Cal Bear, always a Cal Bear. Now officially a Brown Bear too.

I was exploring the area, literally, walking around taking in the beautiful scenery on a surprisingly "summer-like" fall day. And as I approached AND walked on the campus, I kept saying to myself, this has got to be a college campus... this is somebody's school. Lol! And just like that - BAM! I walked by a sign that said Brown University. My mouth dropped and I smiled big... chuckling at myself. Everything was so peaceful and well-manicured (as expected from an Ivy League school). I blended in as I perused the campus, people watching the students go about their day. I love architecture and the buildings are beautiful. It was such a pleasant time!

Over the last year and a half years, I have learned so much more, not just academically but socially and discipline wise as well. Yes, the teachers can be very strict, but as long as you stay on top of your work and are respectful to those around you, everyone is kind and nice to each other. I have found that the people at Grace Baptist Christian Academy, both the staff and my fellow peers, have become like a second family to me, always supporting and being there for each other and always praying for each other. I highly recommend Grace Baptist Christian Academy if you are looking for a small school that teaches good morals and foundational education at a higher level and affordable price.

The MLT program is overbooked by dozens of students and there is a long wait list for clinical rotations. (Some students who were supposed to start clinicals in January will not be able to start until SEPTEMBER) No mention of this whatsoever was made until about two months before we were supposed to begin clinical rotations. I have had many issues with the business office over the past three years and have had to wait an extra 8 months for thousands of dollars in grant reimbursement due to lost paperwork. I had reached out to nearly every QC contact to no avail- had to find the Director of SCILS grants in MA to fix my issues. I've spent hundreds on extra loan interest due to the colleges mistake. I can not finish this program without that clinical, and I will not graduate on time. This is delaying taking my boards with ASCP and may possibly cause issues with my wedding planned for this fall. If I had foreseen any issues like this and been kept better informed, I would not be facing issues like this. I've worked my tail off to earn a 3.9 GPA- while working 2 jobs through the whole program. After nearly 3 years working toward this degree it's pushed off further. Please keep in mind this is NOT the fault of any of the current management and program directors who are doing everything they can to fix the issue- there is an entirely new staff since when I started the program. They are working hard to prevent this situation in the future from what I have heard.
