The board is wrong to engage in the devil-cult activities in the main offices on Wednesday nights at 10pm. And the local police are wrong to park all their damn vehicles here and give innocent people like me the willies every time we speed, I mean, drive past this campus. Luckily in truth, it's Erie, rather than Errant. It's a lovely modern campus with fantastic, lush soccer fields, located in one of the richest suburbs in the region. It's a much more boring campus than the haunting, impressive campus downtown. When my significant other (at the time) took classes here, I spent a lot of time here too. I even took a class with her myself, partly to not be bored, and partly because I found it interesting. The prices were so shockingly cheap (for American education standards) that it was heart-warmingly affordable. Education should be free, but ECC is close enough to free (depending on what you do) that most people can afford to do something here if they work at the same time. All of the professors I've had the pleasure of meeting, sitting in with, or taking a class under (4 or 5 of them total from all categories) have been very pleasant and interesting. This is very important at any education facility.

I had one who wasn't sure what he was doing but was still helpful. My accounting professor was nothing short of amazing. No star for bathrooms and staying up to date. Very old amenities throughout the buildings and the bathrooms are too out dated. It's a bad time. Plus one star for administration. Always answer the phone, always answer on IM, the online BlackBoard website is nice and has an app. Plus one star for Library. Friendly staff. All new windows 8 computers and always some available. Unfortunately the hours on weekends and summers are very bad. When you're trying to actually learn this can be a great resource and it's terrible it isn't open more often. Minus one star for cutting back from late night courses. I had to arrange to leave work early to be there for the 5pm classes. Barely any are offered after 5pm which is a huge detriment to people looking for an education while working in a real job. Also, computer science doesn't qualify as a science elective?? Is this not the 21st century, it is one of the most important sciences. Many of my professors had worked or still worked at Niagara University, Canisius, and other great schools and have many accomplishments. ECC is a good school but they aren't working hard enough at assisting adults in receiving their education. We can't be at school all day. We need more night courses and better library hours.

At the…read moretime I entered the school, the program had a great reputation, with teachers and staff that had years of experience at the college and in the field. My class was the first class where they took on almost twice as many students. This meant they had to cut the clinic time in half for us because they no longer had enough sites to place us at. The long time director knew this would have negative consequences for the students and for the field, and because she opposed this, she was fired. After that things really started to deteriorate and a couple long time teachers began their exit. I felt like a guinea pig for almost two years. There was an extreme lack of leadership and many students came out unprepared due to not having enough clinic time. The only real message Trocaire College gave me is that they ONLY care about money. I got a good degree, and afterwards a good job, but for the price you pay you might as well go to a community college where you'll pay 1/3 the price. save yourself the trouble.

I'm writing this review months after the fact (well into the winter) because the negative impact…read morefrom last summer's Park Camp experience is still lingering in our home. My daughter, who was thrilled to return for her second year at Park School Camp after an unforgettable first summer, continues to mimic an inappropriate behavior she picked up from observing the camp counselors: constantly hiking up and rolling her shorts to make them shorter. Despite our ongoing efforts to address and correct this at home, it's become a stubborn habit that's proven difficult to break, all because she saw it modeled as "normal" by the adult role models at camp. This was never an issue before. The contrast between the two years could not have been more stark, and the disappointment is profound given the significant financial investment I made, as a lone parent household. Thousands of dollars for what is marketed as a premium summer program on a beautiful campus. The first year was, admittedly, truly exceptional: the staff were kind, knowledgeable, professional, and courteous; the weekly themes were creative and fully embraced; and the events were spectacular, thoughtfully planned, and executed with evident care and resources. It genuinely felt like a meaningful investment in the children's growth, joy, and development - a true, dream like partnership between the camp and families. The following year, however, felt like a complete bait-and-switch. Cost-cutting measures were glaringly apparent in every aspect, from reduced staffing quality to stripped-down programming. Weekly themes were barely present - if they existed at all - they felt tacked-on and half-hearted rather than woven into the daily experience. Events that had once been "out of this world" were now subpar: fewer in number, smaller in scale, and lacking the creativity and polish of the prior year. The professionalism evaporated; many counselors dressed casually to the point of inappropriateness, often in extremely short shorts that sent confusing messages to young, impressionable campers who should be able to view them as role models. I am not exaggerating when I say that I saw counselors' private parts showing on more than one occasion. If I had had viable backup childcare options lined up, I would have pulled my daughter out right away and demanded a refund. As it stood, we felt trapped into seeing it through. When I repeatedly raised concerns with the administration - specifically about the counselors' attire and its clear influence on the kids, proposing a straightforward solution like staff uniforms or basic dress code guidelines, I was stunned by their dismissive response. They refused to act, citing fears of "getting sued" if they enforced any standards. This struck me as a weak excuse; a simple, neutral uniform policy could have preserved professionalism and consistency without inviting controversy, yet they opted for inaction over prioritizing positive role modeling for the children entrusted to them. Overall, this experience shattered our trust in the program. What was once a summer highlight has left lasting negative effects we're still navigating months later, alongside deep hesitation about ever returning. Families paying premium rates rightfully expect accountability, consistency, and genuine investment in quality - not apparent corner-cutting that undermines the entire experience. Sadly, the second year fell disastrously short of the high standard set by the first, leaving us feeling deceived by what amounted to a classic bait-and-switch. As a business owner myself, I fully understand how tough the economy has been on everyone these past few years, and I genuinely wanted to give the program the benefit of the doubt. Cost pressures are real, and no one expects perfection in difficult times. However, the lack of accountability and unwillingness to engage seriously with constructive feedback left me no choice but to share this publicly. I tried repeatedly to resolve these matters privately, but my concerns were not taken seriously. I hope this review helps other families make informed decisions and perhaps encourages the camp to restore the high standards that made our first year so special. Regrettably, I don't think we will be returning.

There is nothing wrong with that if that is what you want. BUT... they have so many problems that you'd think they were a mean competition studio. But even competition studios are more transparent than the mystery BS you put up with here. It is a mystery. I fought with them for years over the proper placement for mine. The lack of compassion. The cavalier way they treat their business relationships. The hurtful things the owners say in front of the kids when explaining themselves. The excuses for their poor decisions. Their solution to problems is ... you can go to another studio. They passively kick you out by making it an unhappy place for your child if they don't like you. I can't tell you how many times I have had a mom tell me that after they've paid all fees, lessons, and costumes charges, that suddenly their child has missed too many lessons and can't do a recital. But guess what? They have no stated attendance policy. Which is also ironic since they had several classes that didn't have completed choreography until the week before the recital. When you ask them to justify their placements... they say "trust our professional judgment". (i.e. don't question us.) . When you ask...what does my child need to work on to advance... they give you an answer, and then when your child achieves the goal, the reason they aren't moving up is a new and different reason. And those reasons are often refuted by other students who are in those upper classes with those very issues. One mom told me that they talk in circles saying that X is a reason why a child cannot take a certain level and yet X is great because it really supports successful dance. In the past year, I have seen several families cut back their classes or leave the studio altogether for either another studio or quit dance, because they destroy the love for dance. They are sinking their own ship over there.
