I graduated in 2016 and have returned for a few wedding ceremonies. I've written extensively about…read morewhether Lehigh is a good deal and what college life here was like, so this review is more about the food and the setting. This is one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States of America. For weddings, the chapel is breathtaking and there are dozens of spots on campus at which a group could take nice pictures. While the hillside setting is the envy of hundreds of colleges, it's been said that some of the freshman residence halls are at the highest elevation east of the Mississippi River. Daily journeys involve awkward undulating paths and hundreds of stairs (none with consistent spacing), and "seeing campus" is not a feasible quest for a huge portion for the median out-of-shape American. Regarding the food, dining on campus was controlled by Sodexo, the company that provides food to prisons. Pricing was extortionate and quality was awful. I recall a constant rotation of "breakfast for dinner" where the morning's food was re-heated for dinner, and a mad rush for basic foods like pizza when the main protein offering would be disgusting salisbury steak. I believe this terrible marriage began in 2010 or so, as when I started at Lehigh in 2012, older students reminisced on a slightly-better food scene that included an on-campus Chik-fil-A. There was an elevated tier of (Sodexo branded) dining options in the building where the Chik-fil-A used to be, which all charged a premium in "meal swipes" (of which students maybe received 250 per semester) and prepared passable ready-made dishes formed out of frozen, preservative-laden ingredients. You would be hard pressed to find an alumnus whose underclassman experience wasn't affected by how bad the food was. I was lucky to meet people at Lehigh who were similar to me in terms of their outspokenness, and one guy submitted a detailed complaint and suggestion sheet to Sodexo "management." They sat down with him and thanked him and then proceeded to do nothing. The extra meal budget I had to beg my parents for to eat mid campus-edge food (The Goose and Johnny's Bagels) was probably $400/mo, which really hurt back then. The school has some things going for it, just not the food.

The worst admitted student day I have seen after visiting many schools. A very nice campus yet the…read moreevent was severely disorganized and impersonal. Arrival and check in right beside a very loud band so you cannot hear the person checking you in and they cannot hear you. From 9:30-10:45 you have an option of taking a housing tour. The housing tour is about 30 or so people with one guide who takes you to one dorm room and tells you "all the wood things come with the room". No explaining which dorms are freshman or if there are any suites or how long students are guaranteed housing or any other information. We then wait for the president to speak for the next 45 min as there are no other events or tours scheduled yet. Everyone is piled into a foyer waiting. Eventually the doors are opened (30 min later than told) and we are guided into a room with tables representing various student activities When we talked to the person at the Greek life table they knew nothing about Greek like because the Greek life person didn't show...so they were filling in. Breakfast items were also offered during this time (it's 11am) but it's still a nice gesture. There are no chairs for anyone to sit and a few standing tables yet not nearly enough for the volume of students. The president gives a vague speech which is more like "hi" and lacks substance that tells students anything about the school. Then there is a prize give away for a few students. While waiting for a housing tour I asked if there were campus tours. A student working for admissions (we did not see any admissions counselors only students) said well if you come back I can get someone to give you one. There were no campus tours!? What? We went back as he had told us to do and he was not there. Walking around the campus yourself is not the same as getting information about the campus or hearing the student perspective. Honestly the whole event was run in this rote impersonal fashion. Next stop was the tables set up for departments. No faculty present at the major we wanted to talk to. The student present told us they never had to take a single math course and they are a current senior...??? That doesn't seem to be true. What weren't faculty present to talk to incoming students and welcome them or answer questions? Last stop as we guided ourselves through campus was a carnival. They brought in a very cute camel and a goal as well as a guy with a big bubble wand. Comments I heard were "if this is how they run their event then what would it be like to go to school here!?" "I can't go here", "this is chaos" "they put time into getting a camel but what about telling us about the education they offer or living here". It was chaos. And in truth we left feeling like it's a nice looking school that must have things to offer but we will never know because of how poorly they represented themselves.

I was forced to pick a random suite with people I don't even know let alone trust around my medication. As an animated arts major who loves to do fine arts in their free time, I could use a little more space AND QUIET to focus on my work since animations take a hell of o long time to finish especially if you want them to be good. Emailed housing, they gave me a bs answer and got nowhere. Now I have to search the campus for wherever the housing office is just to speak to them in person since email goes nowhere. ------ For some extra complaints: Don't trust the rice unless you like it as chewy as sour patch kids. The chicken has so much fat pieces and all that left on it when cut that it's practically all your eating. Sausage with a nice helping of ground up bones left in. The second floor of the south dining hall doesn't even have clean lettuce of any kind, I tried some with my taco and it tasted rubbery and dirty (but apparently downstairs they actually wash the lettuce). According to some people I've talked to, old main is full of black mold and asbestos and lytle hall has high radiation. At least from my experience, the dorms aren't safe from black mold finding a nice home all over your shower. They seem to lie a bit on the tours and I honestly don't like this school as much as I used to. Maybe I should've gone to SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) or RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) since those schools are actually respectable.

We engaged this establishment when we wanted to finally send our 2 year old to day care for the first time. Everything seemed so wonderful. Had to take a virtual tour because of the times and were able to meet the teacher ahead of time. Everything was great, however, looks were very deceiving. We dropped our child off for her first day. We knew it was going to be difficult for her because it was the first time away from the ones she knows and loves. We expected to see that. Here were the problems. Upon first day we were not given all the information and signup information for the apps they use and they belittled us like we should have known how to use them ahead of time. My daughter cried and was upset for a little over an hour. Again, to be expected. She was never happy or settled the whole morning. They provide a camera to check in on your child which is awesome to see them. But then you get to see what is going on as well. We never saw a teacher or administrator help our child become acclimated. Typically someone would get on the child's level so they could look eye to eye. What happened was she sat in a chair by herself all morning. The one time a teacher went over to her she handed her the picture book we put together for her to see her loved ones. Did the teacher open it and engage. No! The placed the book down in front of her and walked away. Again we can see this all through their camera system. We saw the blonde haired teacher sitting on a table not even in a chair next to our daughter to help out. Even saw her on her phone instead of tending to the children. They only had 6 kids including our daughter that day so it is not like they were overwhelmed. We get they cannot spend the whole time with her but they should be able to assist her instead of leaving her sit by herself for hours. But wait, it gets better. It took them until after 12 pm to change our child's diaper for the first time. It even says so in the report they sent us at the end of the day. It took them over 4 hours for them to check her diaper! We watched as they provided her lunch and they didn't try to help her eat they just kind of left it there. At the end of the day they sent us a report advising that our kid engaged in all of these types of activities throughout the day and she napped well from 1-3pm. Hmmmm, we picked our child up at 1230 and we could see her sitting in the chair or standing by the door all morning. Please advise how she engaged? My wife engaged the owner on the second day and he wanted nothing to do with her and told her would call her to discuss her concerns instead of trying to address them. Never apologized for the horrible experience or any sentiments. The director, which we spoke to over the phone multiple times, was there at drop off as well. She saw my wife when she got out of the car and ran inside to afraid to confront us to discuss the prior days activities. Long story short, do no send your children here. They do not value you and they consider you just a number. The owner does not want to accept any accountability. The transition should have been smoother than it was. I have spoken to multiple individuals who have or do work in field and this is completely unacceptable on all fronts.

Once one of the teachers was removed, my son began to act out. We noticed when given a snack, my son had less problems. Every time he was sent home, they hadn't given him a snack. After two incidents in a row, instead of attempting to address any concerns, they dismissed my son removing him from friends he made and creating a great deal of trauma. The owner, Sean, was dismissive, rude, unhelpful and didn't care that this is a four year old child whose life was affected negatively. He has no business representing himself as a day care owner and should stick with declaring himself a profit monger.

As a high school student, I had an overall bad experience at Baum. I was awarded a state recognized…read morescholarship for three 10 week teen classes at Baum. I was so thrilled, because Baum was supposed to be such a wonderful place, and I couldn't possibly afford the classes otherwise, so my scholarship seemed to be a prayer answered. I called Baum's office and told them I wanted to register for a course, but the woman there kept insisting my scholarship didn't exist, though I read her the scholarship letter and provided her with proof. Eventually, she somewhat conceded, but then tried telling me my scholarship was only good for a 5 week summer camp course, which was then currently in session and already halfway over! That was NOT what my scholarship entailed. In fact, my scholarship was worth much more. I was appalled at her treatment of me and my parents. My classes were being paid for BY MY scholarship. I have no idea why she refused to recognize that, even after she had proof. After many more headaches, several phone calls, and emails to Baum and the foundation I received the scholarship from, eventually I was signed up for my first course. The class I took was nightmarish. The instructor did not teach, she basically sat back and told us to draw or paint something, giving little or no instruction on fine art technique or process. She wouldn't even let us take home our art, so we could work on it at home. The worst part was, she expected us to have our pieces completed in 1-2 classes! So it felt like we weren't learning or spending much time on a lesson at all! Additionally, even though the course was supposed to be specifically about learning fine art techniques in painting and drawing, the teacher plainly said, and I quote, "I don't believe I should teach you the traditional techniques, because I want you to develop your own." Well, that would be all fine and dandy, except, that's not what was in the course description, and that is also not what my scholarship was paying for. I ceased coming after 5 classes because of the mediocrity of that class and the attitude of the teacher. I expected far better. But considering the baffling, unacceptable treatment I received initially, I should not have been surprised at the low quality of the instruction. I am very disappointed. In the past, I have heard amazing things about the Baum School of Art, but I did not experience any of them in my time there. I have 2 more additional courses available to me, but I am hesitant to take them now. It's almost not worth it if the courses are going to be like the previous one I took. I hate to say that, because I appreciate my scholarship and I came to Baum hoping to learn more about the art I love, but I can't lie. It's such a shame If you're considering taking a class here, or signing your child up for a class, take some time to consider alternative schools. You'll want your money's worth, and I'm not certain you're going to get it at Baum. And trust me, you won't want to deal with their system. It felt like I was catering to them instead of the other way around.

I enrolled at Roadmaster Drivers School expecting a professional learning environment and a…read morepositive training experience. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. During my enrollment, I experienced conduct by a school employee that I believed crossed professional boundaries and made me uncomfortable continuing in the program. As a result, I ultimately withdrew from the school. Afterward, I made repeated good-faith efforts to resolve the matter directly with the school. I communicated with management, participated in a formal demand process, and provided a detailed written statement when additional information was requested. Despite those efforts, I have yet to receive a meaningful resolution. I am sharing this review because I believe prospective students should know that, in my experience, resolving serious concerns after they arise has been extremely difficult. I remain willing to resolve this matter professionally and hope the company will engage in a constructive dialogue.
