Her and a couple of the amazing teachers that really tried to help under the terrible conditions are the only reason I wouldn't say I would give this school 0 stars! They didn't even give me the right temporary license when I graduated. It was a license to be a cosmetology instructor. It then made it very difficult to get through everything with state board. They were terribly understaffed and only gave clients to the students they knew they wouldn't have to really help. They fired amazing instructors for horrible reasons. I could go on and on. Thank god they closed this school down.

The Artnasium is a fantastic hidden gem…read more We go every Thursday for the Baby Michelangelo class that they offer, and it's an absolute blast. For that class, babies under 24 months can come, play with non-toxic finger paints, toys and other activities. At the end of the class, parents leave with a very cute footprint art. It's a great and affordable way for babies and adults to socialize. Classes are $10, and 100% worth it. They also offer open play classes, which is open to any age. There is an option for a membership pass for this class. Artnasium also offers homeschool classes, monthly date night babysitting event and waaaaay more. The owner is very sweet and friendly, and I adore her daughters. To sum it up, The Artnasium is a really great way to get out of the house, and get kids and parents socialized. Go here, you won't be disappointed and I promise you'll make it a regular event on your calendar.

U.A.H. When I attended school here it stood for "University At Home." Most of us were locals with…read morea few recruited athletes from other counties and countries. Back then, the duckpond south of Holmes was called "Bra Lake." I spent countless hours on campus, in the Art building, in the library. and even rented a bed in the old old dorms before attending full time. The gym used to be a concert venue and they also hosted a spring outdoor concert series each year both of which were open to the public. My favorite show here was Billy Idol! Rumor has it he swam in the gym pool, without a swimsuit, after the show. It was a great show!!!!! I was fortunate to get a tennis scholarship and for the most part, enjoyed my teammates and the whole college athlete experience. We had exceptional trainers, good facilities, and adequate benefits [per diem meal money when we traveled, free athletic clothing, meal money on campus, 100% books and I believe, 100% tuition.] Academically, UAH is no cake walk! I was completely unprepared my first semester [and UAH was on the semester crammed into a quarter system at that time, I don't know if it is still like that now]. Let's just say I started off on academic probation, when I finished my first term. Again, I didn't really know how to study, and never really had to try in my prior education and did not have or seek out proper guidance to understand how to drop classes in a timely manner. This situation sent me to Calhoun Community College where I upped my GPA and earned 2 Associate degrees. Key in this situation is to always get your community college classes approved for transfer to a school like UAH prior to taking the courses. I did this and only had to contest maybe two Calhoun classes [which I successfully contested and did get the credits approved to transfer to UAH]. This was a huge win because Calhoun was way way less expensive than UAH. Fast forward a few years and I was back attending UAH. I was "undecided" for forever it seems, as I'm not engineering minded, nor gifted in math at all, and was thrilled when I found my niche at this primarily engineering school, in Liberal Arts. It took a lot of work, some help from tutors, and then more work and I finally graduated cum laude. Who hoo! I'm happy UAH is here. Two siblings got degrees here, and our Mom used to volunteer at the OLLI, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, at UAH. I've enjoyed classes which were extracurricular development and not part of my official college curriculum such as yoga, which were held at UAH, and also professional development courses I have taken here. All were organized, well done, and beneficial. U.A.H. is a reputable accredited university with, for the most part, good professors, and a nice campus. Don't rule out their Liberal Arts program, it's legit! U.A.H. is really growing, too! It looks like U.A.H. is rapidly adding more housing and parking facilities on the south side of Holmes east of the fitness center.

I had a good experience at Calhoun back when. I attended Calhoun when they had satellite campuses…read moreall over the place. The main campus was (and I guess still is) in Decatur, and yes you had to attend a lot of classes there; however, they also had satellite classrooms on Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville High School and in "THE Mall" - yes where Barnes and Noble is now, only further down the mall - you had to hang a left at the western themed bar and it was on the east side of The Mall where Picadilly used to be. We always joked that if you leaned in closely enough to the cinder walls you could still hear the servers saying "Serve you, Serve you please?!?!?!" :D Because high school was such a breeze for me and really did not prepare me for college, I started UAH with a whopping 1.0 and yes, academic probation my first semester. I had no idea you could drop a class and really did *not* think the professors meant what they said when they assigned voluminous amounts of reading/coursework with only a day or so to accomplish it, and I paid for it with terrible grades my first semester. Enter Calhoun! Calhoun to the rescue! I took classes all over north Alabama or at least it felt like it with part time college professors and full time ones, too. Anyway, it was still hard work; however the staff were friendlier than UAH, more accommodating to those of us who worked, and had more of a smaller, diverse group of students. I still learned and I learned a LOT at Calhoun! I managed to pull my grades up to graduate with two associates at cum laude and transfer back to UAH to do the same with 1 BA cum laude. The tip for anyone planning to do a similar approach to getting a degree is to stay in touch with UAH and ensure each class and associated credit *will* transfer from Calhoun to UAH. To me, and I'm sure to any college student, these hours are pretty much worth gold and you don't want to lose them! Also, don't be afraid to take any issues where a credit is denied to the Dean (or higher if necessary) to argue your case. Pay attention to the handbooks (if that's a thing anymore) and ensure the classes align in terms of course content. Oh, and another good thing about Calhoun is you don't rack up 1000s of parking tickets by attending there.

I never even heard a call back from some other places. The pricing offered was VERY reasonable. I ended up renting it by the hour. It has both indoor and outdoor spaces with PLENTY of seating.

We loved the space and I would definitely recommend. Just take a look at the pictures...
