Frustrating and Disorganized Experience…read more Freshman orientation and move-in day were both a mess. Students stood in line for over 7 hours and still didn't get clearance to move in. For a school with such a small student body, this should never happen -- especially when families have spent months preparing and confirming everything in advance. The lack of organization is unacceptable. Something as simple as processing students in alphabetical order could fix most of these issues. Staff also need to return calls and respond to emails -- basic communication could have prevented much of the chaos. This is a historic school with great potential, but first impressions matter. Unfortunately, this experience made many parents and students question the quality of the education and overall administration.

I am a Veteran and wasted my time and benefits on the Cyber Warrior Program. They will lie to you…read morethe entire time about how great their program and school is, how the certs will help you start a career in IT and how Career Services will be in constant contact until you land a job. The classes are taught by PowerPoint and the Labs rarely work enough to complete. I used other means to study for my exams. Career services and everyone else that spoke with us via Zoom always talked about the careers, preaching great jobs, placement and starting salary, only to offer you $15/hr call center jobs saying " it's better than fast food or other jobs paying more because those aren't careers". Then comes program completion and the many emails, calls and texts to your career advisor that go unanswered. The bulk BCC emails with positions that you do not qualify for because you lack a degree in an IT related field. Do not trust the good reviews on this company, as they are submitted by employees. Which, by the way, My Computer Career won't even hire me because I do not have the experience or degree that is required for an entry level position. Everyone stay away from this place, not just Veterans. Go to a real college, self study, get a degree and your certs without giving more money to these people!

I can tell you, you need to get your foot in the door by having some basics such as Associate Degree or higher with cert(s) unless you get a higher degree and are a shoe for a job that highly matches the degree you earned. Having some work experience in a related or matching field is also very helpful. Also, if you have a connection in the inside who gets you in that is sometimes the key. Myself, I've earned two Associate Degrees and take extra courses at a half-dozen colleges private and public and have nearly a dozen certs from CompTIA, Cisco, and others. The programs they offer here will do nothing for you but take your money and/or benefits you are using with them. You want to learn and earn some certs, try Udemy or CBT Nuggets to learn and pass a half-dozen certs and get your foot in the door. Understand, this institution alone will do NOTHING for you.

Our instructor would leave our classroom after just a couple of minutes with no real direction or instruction. He was busy hanging out with a fellow instructor in one of the other domes. Meanwhile we were doing a drawing class in a poorly lit room where the only light was up by where the instructor would typically teach. He did this for weeks. When our ENTIRE class went to talk to Deborah, and let her know of these problems and a lack of instructor, she told us ALL that we were lying and that the instructor wouldn't do that because he was one of their most esteemed instructors. She wouldn't even walk to the classroom to see if we were telling the truth. How would an entire class be able to leave their class without the instructor wondering what was up and going to look for them. Deborah denied any refunds or rescheduling of classes. I still wish I could get some sort of refund for this place. During admissions, I was told I would be placed in advanced classes because my work already proved I would be wasting my time in beginner classes. Of course when it came time to start, I was placed in beginner classes and they said they wouldn't change them. So I spent money without any ability to get a refund on classes for things I already knew. Half the time I spent teaching my fellow classmates better techniques than the instructors did. I've heard this place is getting shut down. Not the first rodeo the owner has been through like this though. Roger K is an educational crook and so is Deborah.

We enjoy the fact that the pool is always heated and the lessons are very structured. Even during the pandemic, Goldfish found a way to safely remain open without making things weird for the children. The class sizes are 4:1. I really liked it during the pandemic because it shrunk to 3:1 and gave the kids more time in the pool during their 30 min lessons. They are back to 4:1 now but It's not really a big issue unless one of the kids in your class messes around too much. The managers and owners are really down to earth and easy to talk to if you feel like you have an issue. They take your concerns seriously and understand that sometimes your child might not match well with the instructor scheduled, so moving to another class/time might work better for your child. They offer open swim for members which is great. We live pretty far and don't have access to a pool regularly, so we try to get to open swim when we can. Hopefully, they will add more open swim times and/or bring it back on Saturdays. Overall, 10/10 definitely recommend!

I went back back-and-forth, whether I should post or not. We have chosen to go to a different place because we felt lied to and cheated out of a lot of money. I would not recommend this company anymore, and I hope they change their business practices to something more ethical.

Disfarmer Photographs from the Studio of Mike Disfarmer,…read moreHeber Springs, Arkansas 1939-1946 January 17-April 6, 2008 Lyndhurst Gallery Public Reception and Talk: Thursday, February 28, 7 p.m. Scholar/Collector Julia Scully There is much that we don't know about Mike Disfarmer, but what we do know makes for a great story. He was born Mike Meyer in Indiana in 1884. When he was eight, his family moved to Arkansas---though later in life he claimed to have been blown there by a tornado and dropped in the Meyers' yard. At the age of fifty, not long after his mother's death, he made the local paper when he legally changed his last name from Meyer to Disfarmer. The reporter explained the change this way: "Since 'meyer' means 'farmer' in German, and since the petitioner was not a farmer, he chanced upon the name 'Disfarmer.' 'Dis' is said to mean 'not' in German."). In adopting this new identity, Disfarmer distanced himself from his family and seemed to imply his superiority to other locals. A confirmed bachelor who made a point of telling people that he didn't believe in the Bible, he succeeded in creating a persona that was both insider and outsider in the small mountain town of Heber Springs, Arkansas, where he'd lived since 1914. This eccentric, reportedly friendless man chose to operate a portrait studio for forty years. He documented significant and random moments in the lives of rural Arkansas families through the end of the Depression and World War II. No warm conversation, no props, no frills; an irregular tack for the traditionally gregarious profession of portrait photographer. His neighbors, all white, predominantly working class, came as they were, and as they wanted to be remembered: in work clothes, in uniform, in their Sunday best. They are hearty individuals living through challenging times, sliced from a virtually homogenous life. The frank, arresting portraits Disfarmer made stand as a compelling record of the home front. The community he held at a distance; his camera, he caressed. This exhibition presents classic Disfarmer images--posthumous prints from glass-plate negatives made between 1939 and 1946--that were discovered two years after the photographer's death by former Heber Springs mayor Joe Albright when he purchased the contents of the studio for five dollars. A selection of these images was first published in the Arkansas Sun (Peter Miller, editor) and Modern Photography (Julia Scully, editor) in 1975. The Disfarmer Project, a reclamation effort launched in 2004 by Michael Mattis, has brought vintage prints spanning Disfarmer's full forty-year career in Heber Springs to the public's attention. A special thanks to the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City for the loan of these prints. This exhibition is presented in conversation with the Bill Frisell Trio's The Disfarmer Project: Musical Portraits from Heber Springs, March 1, 8 p.m., Reynolds Industries Theater, West Campus, Duke University--part of Statements of Fact: Documentary in Performance, a series offered by Duke Performances.
