The Henry Ford Centennial Library is a large, rectangular building…read more                 It is very imposing.  From Michigan Avenue there is a large entryway.  It is difficult to access it.  You need to drive around back and enter the building from there.                 It is finely designed and the white marble is striking in the sunlight or the rain.  It is very beautiful in the evening.  The interior is very interesting.  The entryway leads to a circular stairway which you must take if you are going to check out a book.  The checkout desk is on the second floor.  So is the reference desk.                 I didn't see the entire collection.  What I saw was a standard offering.  They have a LOT of books.  The building is as voluminous inside as you would expect after having it seen it from the outside.                 The clerks at the checkout desk were very happy to assist me.  I went to the Reference Desk and was also treated with respect and dignity - except for one clerk who we'll just assume was having a bad day.                 There is a fountain sculpture in the first floor lobby.  I caution you not to look at it while heading up the staircase or heading down the staircase.  Just thinking about it right now is making me dizzy - so think about it with caution too.  Otherwise it's a fine library.

I happen to have gotten into some Manga. They do have a pretty ok selection. It's not a modern library, but it still is a proper library. The staff is really nice and everything is in its proper place. Well lit, super quiet and extremely well kept. I love it here and will continue to keep coming back. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!

I've been going to Baker College in Allen Park since Fall of 2005. I know what you're thinking…read more.. Why don't you have a degree and a real job and less time to Yelp? Well, I didn't play my cards right my first two semesters. I was stuck in high school girl mentality: boys! texting! ipods! not doing homework! So, that bit me in the ass and I had to drop out during my second semester. When I started back up, I had a better mentality and subsequently got better grades. I started back up going half time but I'm finally going full time to get this damn degree and I've really enjoyed my time there. Baker College is located on Outer Drive, near the Fairlane Green shopping center. It has expanded since I first started. The older building has two levels along with the administrative offices (first floor,) the library and Learning Center (both on the second floor) and some classrooms. The newer building, which has three floors, has the student center, bookstore, and cafeteria along with many classrooms. The parking lot has expanded but you have to get there early to get a good spot. Rumor is that enrollment doubled from last quarter, so it makes sense to get there early. I attend night classes for a business degree in marketing. The classes run from 6pm until 9:40pm with a 20-minute break in there somewhere, depending on which classroom you're in. Baker runs in 4 quarters, not 2 semesters. Each quarter is 10 weeks long, so consider this accelerated learning. By the time you remember what classroom you're in that night, you're taking the final. Each credit hour costs $195 at Baker, whereas U of M Dearborn charges $339.25 and HFCC costs $130.00 for non-residents. So, basically, you're paying somewhere in between to go to Baker. I've noticed that my classes generally don't have midterm exams, so that's a plus. I find most classes going toward my Associates degree are pretty easy, but that could be because I've only taken 100 and 200 level classes. Baker is NOT a school you go to before you transfer to a university. This is really important to include in this review, because there's a common misconception that Baker is similar to a community college. Their credits, in my experience, do not transfer very well. You go to Baker to get a Baker degree. Baker is tough on attendance. From their attendance policy: The student will be administratively withdrawn for excessive absenteeism if any of the following criteria are met: The student is absent for the first week of the course. The student is absent for two consecutive weeks. The student is absent for more than 40% of the course. So basically, you have to show up at Baker to get credit unlike many universities. The staff in all of the offices tend to be very helpful and friendly. The cafeteria staff are students and usually in good spirits. The students themselves tend to be very easy-going and friendly too. It's a close-knit school without much elitism. These are hard-working people trying to get career degrees and are typically really eager to talk to other people. The instructors I've had over the past few years have been really great. Mostly every teacher I've had is employed outside of Baker doing what they're teaching. It makes it so much more worthwhile when an instructor can put terms into real-world experiences for students. It seems all the instructors at Baker are pretty laid back when it comes to their teaching style, which is nice. I really enjoy learning here. So, I've been going to Baker for a few years now and I've seen it develop into a pretty awesome campus.

It doesn't matter if you've already taken math, you have to transfer your credits or prove that you can do the math. As far as tuition goes, it has gone up since you wrote your review in 2008. It is now $210 per credit, but this is disclosed when you sign up for classes. It's not like they hoodwink you into coming to school here..it's your CHOICE. Tuition may be higher here than most colleges, but it is an accelerated school. We only go 10 weeks while most go 16. I'll pay the extra money to get my degree quicker. Lastly, some of the health programs are limited enrollment because there is a shortage of clinical externship sites available to the school. The externship is required by the college to graduate. It isn't Baker's fault if employers choose not to work with them. I myself am in a limited enrollment program. 67 applied and I got in. Because we have limited clinical sites, I have to move out to the Jackson area to finish. If you are serious about school, you will do what it takes. Also, if you do your work, get great grades and come to every class, chances are you will make it into your program.
