Let me first give some context upfront for this review. My brother, hawk alumnus '97, now living in…read moresin city, requested I do a drive by on my way to SC. I obliged. Campus is easily accessible off of Rt 80. Approximately 3 miles and a straight shot that is made even easier by all the signage. The famous Turkey Hill inn is nearby as well. Picturesque setting with mountains on several sides of the campus. After interacting with 5-6 coeds trying to find the bookstore (all were extremely amicable) I found it. Meter parking across the street. (.25 for 25 minutes) I had visual aids, aka screenshots, of the gear we wanted. Lisa, the Manager, was very helpful, and even gave me 20% off for Alumni discount. Took some more pics, never found Carver Hall, (got a Postcard instead) and left very impressed.

Prior to my story from a while back, I'm further cementing the fact that Brian Overman, the…read morearchitecture professor here, is a covert narcissist and a career predator. For x number of years he's gotten away with appearing 1-2 1/2 hours later to every morning course. He did not know how to provide constructive criticism or any feedback. He was literally a shell of an excuse for a professor. I only had his courses in my first semester when I was an interior design student. I switched my major to painting illustrations mid semester but still had to finish through. Brian Overman is an overgrown child who throws tantrums and makes disgusting remarks to his students cause he can't hand confrontation or his job for that matter. I don't know what happened prior in his younger years, but every student has to start somewhere. For a professor who was constantly getting special treatment, he relentlessly targeting me and harassing me around classmates because of my neurodivergence and because the neurotypicals in class claimed I was complaining about him. I can assure you that I kept to myself and most of his students in EVERY CLASS complained about his inappropriate behavior. I even had to listen to students complaining still through my next 2 years of attending since my courses were still in the same building. He is an over grown man whining that his students don't like him. He is mentally unstable and unfit for a job. He was actually acting like a different person 2 smewaters later and I tried to be kinder to him. We had numerous private conversations where he did confess to his own mental health struggles including ADHD and his sexuality closeted too. I emphasize these conversations because he has no regard and there is a continuing pattern of him blurring boundaries. I tried to view him in a morning sympathetic light because he seemed like he grew up sheltered and conditioned. I forgave him for he way he treated me during my first semester. One day I gifted him a 4 set of architectural design mugs for only $10 which was nothing more than a novelty gift. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm like that. Instead of speaking to me like an adult, Brian Overman immediately started gossiping to students who spread it to more students in Building 12 ATC. I was already being targeted, harassed, and threaten by students for several months and other faculty did nothing. I went through 3 weeks of sleep deprivation because I was afraid for my life to keep going to school. Until I finally went to the doctors and counseling to explain the situation. And have it documented. I started taking sleep aids again because Brian Overman triggered my CPTSD. This was after I confronted him 2x about the harassment. So he retaliated against me by then going to the security and president's office to trying to get me expelled. At one point, I meantiones that I would find out about filing a lawsuit because President Leary kept threatening me to keep my mouth shut every time I tried to defend my side. I was told that if I didn't stop talking in the last meeting that I would be expelled. That's when they forced Northeast Counseling Services to take me as a patient. If I wanted my degree I had to continue with therapy in my last 2months. nCS didn't want to take on my case because they were angry with the school for doing this. I begged them to let me cause they were going to expell me otherwise. nCS agreed that I would continue treatment until May 10 when I was scheduled to graduate. This whole school has been predatory. They deserve to have to keep hearing about it. Brian Overman is a covert narcissist and a covert narcissist will literally do anything to keep playing victim. I had 2 contacts following in 2017 and 2019 where I did not actually even bother him. But he has his own mental instabilities and the school and now others want to entertain white men like him to keep preying.
