This is a long awaited review for the paralegal and legal secretary extension program. I am a…read moregraduate from both of these programs who has received most all A's and a few B's yet still cannot find a job in this field and I'll tell you why. What they don't tell you is that at least 33-40% of job listings you see online prefer Spanish speakers if not be multi lingual altogether in Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish, save your money and skip this program. Also this program is not ABA approved which will nix you for another 10% of job postings. That's not really too much of a factor as the only difference is whether you have access to a law library at your school. You can get law library access in downtown LA. I give this program two stars because I don't fault the instructors but rather fault the administration. I wish they had gotten some law firms involved in internships because more students would've gotten some real law firm experience. I had volunteered over 100 hours at the court house and did actually work as a legal assistant for a few months but still cannot get a job in this field. Some students already work at law firms prior to signing up for this program hence making this program have a better rate of success than it does. If you do not speak Spanish yet smart, do yourself a favor and save your money. School is only worthy if you can move ahead. As for me, I'm still waiting yet can only get job interviews from the trade I have done before. In hindsight, I should've taken classes in upping in my trade and not in this field.

This is about the EXTENSION not the College. The college is actually pretty great!…read more This is a bit of a complicated review. The classes and the teachers are top notch (99% of them, anyway). Very thorough, detailed, and informative. All the classes were well crafted and the teachers experienced in their field. NOW ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION.... they are very nice... especially prior to the classes starting...They do their very best for you to get enrolled. Unfortunately, that is where things take a turn. The Administration is inconsiderate of the students. When the students complain about the teachers.. we get a: "thank you, we'll look into it" and nothing more. When a teacher missed class due to illness.... the Administration took it upon themselves to MOVE THE GRADUATION DATE without asking or inquiring with the students. .... Who does that??? Over the flu? No. I am very disappointed in the Administration/Director's lack of consideration and the utter disregard to the students, our families, and our TIME. Can I recommend the school?? NO. I am comfortable endorsing the teachers but not the school itself.

I'd like to start this review by listing some positives I've gained from my experience at MUD…read more I learned a lot about sanitation, cleanliness, and etiquette practices of makeup artistry, which is important for setting yourself apart as a professional makeup artist. I also learned plenty of helpful beauty makeup techniques, which confirmed my belief that a professional education is superior to YouTube and TikTok tutorials. Nothing can beat a hands-on education from people who have actually worked in the industry. I'm also grateful to have learned about taxes as a freelancer and union requirements for makeup artists. But unfortunately, this is where my praise ends. I was incredibly hopeful that I'd have a positive and fun time at this school, but sadly, it was the complete opposite. Most of the girls went out of their way to ostracize, bully, and withhold support from me. There was someone in particular who hated me from Day 1, despite knowing nothing about me and having never spoken to me before. At first, I tried to ignore it and act like it didn't bother me. I was optimistic that things would get better, so I chose not to advocate for myself. But everything only got worse over time. I was gossiped and made fun of when I wasn't around, and there were lies and an entire smear campaign spread about me. It got so bad that students in other classes and graduates working at the MUD Shop, who were once kind to me, changed their entire attitude towards me out of nowhere, all at once. To this day, I still don't know what I said or did to deserve this treatment.  Most forms of diversity were welcomed at school, but neurodiversity wasn't one of them. Other students could sense that I was different, and these differences were met with repulsion and fear. When there weren't any teachers around, everyone would fall silent whenever I entered the room. I was fully aware of the way girls would look at each other and laugh when I said something, or the awkward silence that followed when I tried joining in a group conversation. I noticed how most of the girls complimented everyone's makeup looks but withheld any sort of praise from mine. By the time I tried telling the staff about my concerns, the damage was irreparable, and it was already too late. I mean no disrespect towards any of the teachers, and I truly believe they had good intentions and tried the best they could. Even so, I couldn't help but feel like my concerns weren't taken as seriously as they should, especially since the teachers had nothing but positive experiences with the girls bullying me.  Sadly, it takes a lot more than skill to succeed in this industry. Being well-liked by others in school plays a huge role in what career and portfolio-building opportunities are available to you as a makeup artist. My experiences have negatively impacted my ability to do both. Not only that, but the way I view makeup has drastically changed since before I attended MUD. I don't have the same passion, love, and motivation for makeup artistry like I once did. I started school with the expectation that I was going to make friends and have a lot of fun. Instead, I relived the worst parts of my high school days.  Looking back, I wish I had dropped out at the first sign of bullying and gotten a refund for my tuition, especially since it's so expensive. I'm currently attending another school in a different field. My positive experience there contrasts heavily with the one at MUD, and this realization is very painful for me. I'm not writing this review to garner sympathy, but to spread awareness about my experience at school because it matters. I want to save aspiring makeup artists the trouble, money, and heartache of going through anything similar to what I did. If you are autistic or a neurodivergent person, I highly suggest going to another makeup school. It isn't worth wasting your money and losing your love for makeup.

When my daughter first mentioned that she'd like to attend make-up school I was leery. It's an…read moreartsy school. I wondered, would they actually teach her something or would they artfully make what used to be my money theirs, leaving her not much more skilled than when she entered? Well, I was pleasantly surprised. In their Beauty segment, they demand that students be on time, professionally dressed, properly geared and ready to go when class begins. As part of the instruction, they discussed invoicing and tax issues and required, before the completion of the segment, that each student have their own website up and ready to promote their newly developed skills. For their Special Effects segment the dress code's relaxed but students are required to learn skills handling foam, fiberglass, plaster, paints, and flammable resins. And if you're disruptive or don't take the program seriously or refuse to arrive on time and ready to go you may be expelled without a refund as one of my daughter's classmates was. During a time when demanding petty, stupid accommodation seems to be in vogue I love that the program demands a little something from the students and in the most extreme situations will send them home if they refuse to behave like adults. And if the cost seems too much, scholarships are available. We got one from Mike Rowe!

As I stepped foot back at this school, I noticed that they are renovating a few buildings. Im sure with years passing by, things have changed. The school is modernized and continues to get updated with construction all over the campus. I've had good luck overall when i had to speak to counselors in the past and they even offered video visits(unsure if they still do so) greast school to kick start off your pre reqs if you cant afford university, try here first then transfer out. Parking lots have a kiosk to pay and they have a couple of lots surrounding the campus as well as street parking and metro near by.

***racist alert****trigger warning***** Aside from the…read moreclasses being janky and no one leaving with absolutely no progress whatsoever, they're just straight up racists. Enrolled last week and had my first zoom session. Its instructor, Melvin kept mispronouncing my legal name although I corrected him several times during the class. By the end of the class, everyone in the class learned my name and tried to correct him, he huffed and said I have 'fans' and literally said 'I'm just gonna call you Yang, that's you're name, right?' -it's not. Not even close. This guy didn't even try. I called to their office to correct things and its owner, ALSO kept mispronouncing my name and tried to explain his perspective. Their so-called excuse is that they're a family business started in 1970s and Melvin has been with them for more than 30 years-is that an excuse to butcher my name that I got from my parents? With no excuses or apologies? I don't think so. I insisted that they give me a refund and terminate my attendance, she said (I'm not joking) "actually, you owe us $70 (laughs) listen, I understand, my daughter in law is FILIPINO". Need I explain that Koreans and Filipinos are different people (Filipinos have Hispanic names) We, East Asians experience this type of mistreatment all the time. And when it becomes a problem, some white woman will always claim that they 'understand how we feel' because their sisters-best friend's-cousin's-baby's-god mother is from (insert the furthest distanced Asian country) it's highly manipulative gaslighting. Don't be a fool. Don't let the person who's getting your money manipulate and gaslight you and make it sound like it's okay to be bullied. Then what's new, they threatened me to report 'my behavior'. This is probably the worst Karen experience I've ever had. This is just the scrape of how janky their business is. Avoid it with all costs. There are plenty of dui classes around LA who would actually treat you like human being, not blackmailing/stealing/bullying you into things
