Although it may be without typical dorm room hjinks, the Wolpe Center provides Cornell students with a sense of community in Washington DC, where deeps bonds are fostered and intellectual evolution is cultivated. Sometimes when I think back to the room size, I can't believe I lived comfortably with a roommate. Don't get me wrong. As far as dorm rooms are concerned, they are pretty nice. Each room has a private full bath, small kitchen and bunked beds. There are also some common areas that residents can go to study with a plethora of cafes and restaurants nearby to seek additional refuge if need be. I always felt as though the building was fairly secure and everyone knows one another because you're part of the same, small program. Additionally, it can't get much better then rolling out of bed to head downstairs for a three hour lecture. I also remember that all of the staff, mentors and professors were truly engaged, approachable and down-to-earth, which was extremely helpful as we embarked on a major research project throughout the semester. Additionally, the Wolpe Center also doubles as the site of the Cornell Club of Washington. While I'm not terribly involved, I have volunteered in the past with CAAN (Cornell Alumni Admission Network) to help meet and interview local candidate that are currently going through the application process. I remember when I was applying, it was really nice to meet with a local person to get a sense of their experiences. Overall, the Cornell Center and community in Washington DC is extremely warm and professional. If you're ever searching for Cornell resources in Washington, this would be the place to go.

The rooms are very clean and didn't set off my allergies, which is a major plus for me. The neighborhood is really nice, plenty of restaurants and cafes around--I'd recommend checking out the reviews online beforehand to avoid disappointment. Definitely a nice/safe business area of D.C. The triples in this place are nice as well. I only saw one but it had a pretty big living room and bigger kitchen with a full sized oven. Only down-side is that three beds (a bunk bed and a single bed) are squeezed into a fairly small room. Looks somewhat uncomfortable. The studios also have regular twin bunk beds( I believe you can request an extra long twin if you need it), which are all detachable if you don't want to climb up to the top bunk. Overall the rooms are pretty spacious and nice. Very happy with my experience at the center. I'd definitely recommend the Cornell in Washington Program!

What an amazing & diverse campus…read more Not only as a parent, yet as a visitor/tourist, does this campus offer so much history, enjoyable experiences & a beautiful scenery. Commonly known as 'BU or Boston U', it's main campus is part of 2 urban campuses collectively. BU is positioned along the Charles River, overlapping in the Fenway, Kenmore & Allston communities. After Ubering to breakfast, I decided to walk back to my WomanBaby's dorm. I found myself on the populated Charles River Bike Path & got to see Harvard & MIT along the way. It's a 23 mile paved stretch with the bridges serving as mileage trackers. A few tidbits; Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. & Andy Cohen attended BU, one of Boston's largest employers, has their own Medical Campus located in Boston's South End neighborhood, shout out to DC-BU has internship, journalism and management programs housed on Massachusetts Avenue in Dupont Circle, Men's Hockey is very popular as 5-Time National Champs & how fitting that BU's mascot is a Terrier, amusing. I wanted to take a peak to where my WomanBaby would be getting schooled this Fall in Public Health. The Talbot Building looks like a medieval mini mansion with a perfectly manicured landscape that is located on BU's Medical Campus. There is so much that BU offers, not only as a top ranked educational institution, yet an amazing social melting pot for their students. Footsteps from the educational & housing buildings offers a mass of diverse exposure & encounters connected with the historic New England charm. The never ending of restaurants, arts & entertainment, sports, shopping both upscale/outlet malls, trolley/subway rides & the extensive nightlight...simply casually exhilarating. I look forward to my many returns to BU & it's city.

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.

The George Washington University's Master of Professional Studies program in Security & Safety…read moreLeadership/Homeland Security was a life changing educational pursuit that shaped my entire future. Taught by Professionals from federal government, military, law enforcement, and other crucial career fields, our Professors shared their wealth of knowledge that gave us a deep understanding of what's at stake for us in Homeland Security preparedness and execution to safeguard American interests at home and abroad. Special thanks to Professor Sean Blochberger, who is a career military officer, Professor and Program Director, Dr. Frederic Lemieux, and my thesis adviser, Dr. Hossein Askari from the Elliott School of International Affairs, who continue to have a positive impact on my life. I loved all of my Professors and remember my time at GW fondly. This valuable Master's degree in Homeland Security also helped me expand my writing skills and my public speaking skills. My studies led to tremendous personal development. After completing the degree, I became a uniformed security officer, worked as a civilian for the U.S. Navy, and I became an FBI applicant. I also became a self-published author on Amazon.com. I am proud and grateful to be a GW alumni. Professor Sean Blochberger is an adjunct professor in the College of Professional Studies where he instructs in Strategic Change Leadership. A former career military officer, Sean has more than 30 years of service within the Department of Defense.

But YES, Corcoran Hall was rockin it's bells to Summer Breeze (well in my mind this song will always be the Isley Brothers' because it's the version I grew up on). No disrespect Seals and Crofts. This was sooo random and one nice surprise. Funny, because if you're not tuned into the little gifts in life; you certainly will have no appreciation for the big ones. Thank YOU GOD, because although I was running 15 minutes late, hearing that song made me feel great! President Steven Knapp THANK YOU for loosening your collar on the old carillon speakers and giving us everyday people songs like "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "Yesterday" by The Beatles and "Moon River". These tunes make the world around us a liiittle brighter, just when you thought some of us were in too much of a rush to notice. In this heat I can certainly appreciate a cool Summer Breeze. When around GWU's campus along 21st street, look out for these new tunes on random days at 9:15 AM., 12:15 PM., 2:15 PM. and 6:15 PM.
