    They changed the location at the last minute. I brought my daughter 10 minutes early to the…read morelocation in the email and on the website, which was boarded up for construction. I called for information and they gave me the wrong directions to the new location. They told me to pay for 1 hour of parking for an orientation, but staffers handed me a sheet of paper, and told me no parents pas this point about a minute after I paid for parking a second time. Didn't I see their email? They had emailed me no less than 40 times in the past 2 months, but no indication of a location change. So disorganized. Don't bother.

    My son attended the iD Tech Camp at UC Berkeley for one week (in 2014), and it was fun, but the…read morecontent was not special or very good. They get one star because my son did have fun, and the instructors/all college students did their best. I would say, please read the reviews in yelp and Google before you make a decision, and research local options. I feel there are alternatives that are either much better for less money, or the same for FAR less money. Either way, a win for you. I was expecting a lot for the money they charge, almost $930/week with no boarding. But, it was the same as what you can find for far more reasonable cost in many city rec computer classes for kids. We have done many other summer camps and classes in similar topics. The sky high $$$$ cost is in the fact that they fly college students from out of state, to be instructors. (!!!) Also the rental of these well known college campuses is not cheap. So just a word of caution, your kid will have fun, but it is expensive because you are helping to pay for out of state instructors and rent. Also if you child is really looking to learn, they might not even have fun, because they will not learn that much. On a side note, we were also surprised to find that the kids were crammed into a small meeting room, (looked like bottom spare room in an older dorm?) packed with folding tables, folding chairs, and laptops with different size mice, chairs and keyboards. They often can not make sure the fit is good for each student, because it is such a temporary setup. My son (and a couple other kids) had a computer with a short mouse cable, so b/c of the way the table/power outlet was arranged, they couldn't give him any extra slack to pull the mouse forward. So he had to use the mouse in an awkward position for the week. When it is a full-day program, you need to make sure the equipment can be more properly setup. But it is seriously such a temporary setup, the poor (college kid) instructors are doing the best they can with the stuff they are given, but they can't customize it for your kids. So don't expect a glamorous computer lab. (Of course, it is a matter of perspective. By third world standards it is a great setup. But by US suburban standards, it was disappointing). Unless the university gives iD Tech access to campus computer labs, the facility your child uses will be a very temporary, quicksetup type deal. I wrongly expected from the high price, and the UC Berkeley setting, that my child would be in a nice computer lab, or at least in the UC computer lab. It was very disappointing. I have seen similar content in many local city rec classes and independently run learning centers. The instructors were all very young college students, very nice, good kids, very enthusiastic. That is why your child will have fun - the instructors are doing their very best, with limited hardware/space resources. They also spend a lot (a LOT) of time playing video games and even games outside during breaks and after lunch, which is great, but not what I am expecting or paying for, from what iD Tech claims in their marketing material. Definitely not worth the money, unless you are working parents with resources that don't care that you are over paying, and just need a full day program and to be able to say your child is at summer camp at Berkeley or Stanford. If you don't mind driving and are looking for higher level STEM classes, we had a much better experience (in the SF Bay Area) at Bellarmine Prep (in San Jose) and The Athenian (in Danville), where summer classes cost about half what iD Tech charges and were taught by real MS and HS teachers with experience, and in real classrooms.

    I got a degree from this school and it was a complete waste of time and money. I am now in debt…read morefor 30 years with student loans for a degree that is unusable. I never got a job related to my degree and the school did not do anything to help me get a job. Their Career Center is useless. I have never known anyone who got a paying job through the American University Career Center. The Professors I had were also useless. Many of them teach directly from antiquated text books. They do not teach you any technology of any kind and they never taught us any programs that you would need to know for employment purposes. You take an Economics class and they do not teach you how to use econometric software programs. Their curriculum is something out of the 1960s. This school has had several large scandals over the years with school Presidents. Google Richard Berendzen and you can read about his disgusting behavior. The school would not fire him. He was allowed to keep his job as a professor at the school. Also Google Benjamin Ladner. He was another school President.

    So excited that both my kids will be attending this excellent college! The great news came today,…read moremy daughter was excepted with scholarships! Her over 105 GPA paid off ! She fell in love with this college right away. My son got excepted into the SIS program, school of international study. My daughter will major in psychology. She started school at 4 and was reading at 3.She is still unsure of her law degree she also wants to get but she has plenty of time. I'm so proud that next year I'll have two kids in the same prestigious college with tons of history.
