Like everything else in life, you get out what you put in. I know many successful graduates from…read moreJob Corps all around the country. I myself am a successful graduate from the Atterbury Job Corps Center in Indiana. Graduated in 1979 and transferred to the Advanced Career Employment Training program (ACET) located in downtown Minneapolis. I was enrolled in the Computer Technology program at Control Data Institute and after graduation I was hired by Control Data Corporation. I retired this past October from State service and will soon be receiving a pension from Control Data as well as, a pension from the State of Minnesota. So there are many many successful students all over the country. And if you guys had your head on straight you could be one of the success stories. Quit focusing on the negatives and start working on improving your situations. If you had a positive mind set, you may have graduated from High School and been in college by now instead of pissing moaning and belly aching your lives away. In a few years you will run into some of these Job Corps students you probably roomed with, and will most likely be asking them for a hand out. Do you want to succeed in life or do you want to take your place on a freeway ramp? The choice is yours to make, so decide quickly, cause you aren't getting any younger and your chances in life are running out! To those students who chose to "Join the Corps" I encourage you to work hard to reach your goals, they are achievable and within your grasp!!! Pay no mind to these whiners and undisciplined souls, for they are headed, no where. Its now 2018, any updates??? R.C.

I was enjoying guitar lessons at Northwestern's Academy of Music, but unfortunately the classes…read morewere cancelled due to Covid. I requested a refund for lessons that I did not receive and was told that it was not their policy to refund or delay classes until after the pandemic. I was very disappointed with the Academy of Music's lack of consideration. The Covid issue is unplanned for, but the inflexibility of policy makers was surprising. I write this as an alumni and big fan of this University. Some organizations don't see customer service as a necessity.

My son has been taking piano through an instructor at Northwestern Academy of Music for over a year…read morenow, and I am very impressed. There are lots of choices to accommodate what your family wants; you can choose to have lessons from a student, a graduate, or a professor; you can choose different lengths of time for your lessons; and you can also choose to have your lessons at one of the several satellite locations around the metro. You can also work with your instructor to take lessons over the summer, or just over the school year (SO great when kids are first starting out to not take the summer off - they lose so much over those months). The one star is taken away because of the registration website being quite cumbersome and inconvenient. Your best bet is to call the Academy office and work out the details there. . . although it is sometimes difficult to get a hold of anybody. That aside, it's definitely worth it.

For those entering the nursing program, I would look elsewhere. I am glad that the program is now…read morefour semesters instead of three, but the things you cover in leadership class have nothing to do with leadership. One of the things that you have to cover in the leadership class is talking about the union. This should not be something that is talked about until you are in the bachelor's program. And don't even get me started on the bonus points that they offer. These are nothing. These only help you if you are already passing the class. I had a friend have to retake a whole semester due to one point! I refused to have these points applied to my final grade. This is how the school makes the student's grades look better, thus making the school look better. As I have said in the beginning, look elsewhere.

Southwest was an excellent school for high school. It really made a difference in how I turned out…read moreand was much improved from my middle school. They have so many wide programs in theater, arts, baccalaureate. The school is very diverse and allows students to interact with all kinds of students from different ethnic backgrounds. They always encourage students to come from abroad, so you'll have the chance to meet with people from around the world. They offer PSEO, so you can go to Normandale and get credit for high school and college (although most classes only transfer to U of M and not all private schools accept - look into it). Great neighborhood. Great after school programs. Great teachers. Just awesome!

I was there for 2 years, 1st was great because I had a couple of D/HH - Deaf and Hard of Hearing…read morefriends and I had a great support from staff but there were like not enough help. 2nd year was worse because they didn't require all of my needs because Prepich the new school district took over they made the program worse and worse. But still improving, however the program that the previous school district had was a fantastic program, and bam different school district took over and destroyed the program as time passed through. They ruined the COOL FACTOR of Crosswinds. The Theater program is destroyed and it's after school instead of during, and plus the school district brought a company to run the theater program. Now my favorite teacher from there can't run it anymore because of that stupid school district brought that stupid company. I think the Art classes are gone or not i don't know, I can't confirm. Anyways I don't recommend this school is worse now then back in 1997-2013 belonged to E-MID school district. 2013- is now belongs to stupid school district Perpich school district. So yeah I don't recommend this school at some points but not fully. Btw it's a year round school year and I like that school started at 9:30 AM - 4:00PM and that rocked.
