This is a great prestigious old school that offers a first rate education. The option to take night…read moreclasses instead of overpriced, overcrowded day school courses was for me a no brainer. The night school instructors were all really cool, and understanding if you had to work a long day shift job before you got to class. The professors in general are a bit of a hit or a miss, especially in online courses. Some are excellent, with long histories of teaching and with doctorates degrees that they use to provide the best quality classes every single day, and other professors make your life difficult for no reason, and couldn't care less if you even show up at all. The campus is beautiful and you feel a great degree of history here. I attended here for two years after transferring from another school, and I feel like I never fully explored the place. The campus security is a bit over the top, since I got a parking ticket when I was still enrolling and wasn't yet a student for parking in the wrong direction. I didn't know any better and managed to get it dismissed, but it was a bit of a weird charge. I can't give Drury 5/5, simply because of the price. With a private school, you don't expect tuition to be cheap, but this school is EXPENSIVE. There's really no reason for day school to be so exorbitantly costly, unless you're purely paying for the degree. Outside of the cost, Drury is a good school with good instructors that is generally well worth your time.

So yes this is also a very bias opinion. I go to and work at this university. Have for six years…read morenow in total and wanted to contrast the opinion from so many years ago. Education: This place is first rate. The professors are some of the best in their fields, the class sizes are around 20 students, and coursework current. In my time as a student here I've been taught by retired FBI Directors, Judges, and professors that hold one if not more doctorates. Classes are challenging but also fair. I really can't say enough about the education here. Life: Drury has a large extracurricular activity catalog. There are tons of groups of various sizes, purposes, and commitment levels. You really can find a group or hobby that fits almost any interest. We recommend them to students to help them adjust to campus life. We also have a thriving Greek organizations but in contrast to the first reviewer who was a student of mine the groups only make up 27 percent of the student body. A large amount buy by no means a most of the campus. We have an outstanding Campus Recreation office and they hosts intramural for tons of sports. Administration: Dedicated to see you graduate and being a good thriving individual in your next adventure. I had to giggle a little at the first review and think back to an 80s Evil Dean character. If you want an honest answer yes you will be ticketed for violating policies and the process is designed around learning outcomes. Plus I challenge you to visit the university website and review their community standards. I'm sure you will find the policies fair and very similar to that of any university or community for that matter. I can honestly say its not a violation factory but when you are working with people who are on their own for the very first time boundaries are often tested. Overall and in a very bias way I am proud to be a Drury student and Staff member. This university has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment that I can take with me the rest of my life and an education that promises to make that life an interesting one.

I really learned a lot! Sometimes after being out of 'school' for awhile an 8 hour class can seem a little intimidating but it was well worth every minute of it! Any questions that I or anyone else had was answered and then discussed until everyone understood. I am much more confident in myself since going and I still have so much I want to learn. And now I know the place to go!! They seriously have so many different classes and I 10/10 recommended taking a class here. It will not disappoint! From beginners to advanced, this is the place to go!

What a fun place. Was my first time visiting Painting with a Twist. I didn't really know what to…read moreexpect so I was a little nervous however as soon as I walked in a felt very confident and comfortable. Our paint instructor was wonderful, greeted everyone as we walked in, made sure we had all of our supplies along while saying many jokes. To drink I decided to take a 50ml vodka & a 11.5 lemonade. Pretzels sounded good to snack on, I didn't want something that was too greasy or that had a strong odor. I was glad they show you and tell you how to do everything, was a lot of fun seeing how everything turns out a little different than everyone else. You can use a different colors as well. It was so much fun, we had a great group and the instructor kept us laughing all the time. Honestly I was so glad I didn't drink more or I probably would have had an unfinished project or one that I'd have to leave in the garage.

A group of friends and I made reservations because we like the painting, and it was a fundraiser for the an American Cancer Society. You show up about 30 minutes ahead of time just to get acclimated. Be sure to wear old clothes - they give you an apron, but paint will still splatter from you (and from your neighbor). LOL They have tables set up with all the easels and all your paint colors on a plate, and all your paint brushes in a cup ready to go. You pick a seat and start painting. They have an instructor up front that paints an example and walks you through the picture, and then there's an assistant that walks around and helps you one-on-one. Every so often, you take a break and they play fun little interactive games. We painted mustaches on each other and then whoever painted the best mustache and whoever wore that mustache got a prize. They gave away tumblers, coffee cups, shirts, and paintings, so that was a cool deal too. This gives you the chance to use the bathroom and one of their blow dryers to dry your picture before the next stage. There's a table along the back wall, and they do allow you to bring in food and your own drinks. There's a mini fridge, a bottle opener, and a corkscrew, so you don't have to bring any of that stuff with you. There's also a Rewards program you can sign up for that gives you points the more you paint. This was the most fun I've had in a long time, and you don't have to be a good artist to enjoy yourself. They also have a special time set up on Saturdays where you can bring your painting back in and work one-on-one with an artist to fix it if you're not happy. That's a really neat asset that they offer. This is a super fun place with really nice people. It makes for a good time with a group of friends doing something out of the ordinary. Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a hairstylist who is so talented that complete strangers stop you to ask who…read moredoes your hair, Emily is that person. I've been going to Emily for over 16 years, and without hesitation, I can say she's the best hairstylist I've ever met. I actually found her after stopping a woman whose hair was absolutely stunning because I had to know who did it. She gave me Emily's information, and from that day on, I've never gone anywhere else. Over the years, I've referred my mom, my sister, my best friends--pretty much anyone I love--because I trust Emily completely. In fact, my sister once flew from San Francisco to Los Angeles for the day just to have Emily do her hair... and flew home the very same day. No overnight stay. Just a haircut. That's how worth it she is. When Emily moved from Los Angeles to Missouri to open La Luna Academy, I couldn't have been happier for her. She is one of those rare people who has truly found what she was put on this earth to do. Her eye for color, shape, texture, and what will complement each individual person is something you can't teach--it's simply a gift. One of the things I love most about Emily is that she genuinely wants other stylists to succeed. She doesn't keep her knowledge to herself--she loves sharing it. Even after 16 years as her client, I've learned so much about hair just by sitting in her chair and listening to her explain what she's doing and why. If I've learned that much as a client, I can't imagine how incredible it would be to be one of her students. If you ever have the opportunity to sit in one of her students' chairs while she's teaching at La Luna Academy, do it. You're not just getting your hair done--you're getting the benefit of Emily's passion, knowledge, and commitment to excellence passed down to the next generation of hairstylists. Now that I live in Nashville, I actually plan my trips back to Los Angeles around the times she's visiting so I can still get my hair cut by her. That's how much I trust her. I genuinely don't want anyone else touching my hair. Emily is exceptional with both color and cuts, but what makes her even more special is who she is. She's authentic, down-to-earth, effortlessly cool, and never tries to chase trends. She simply knows what works, what will make you feel your absolute best, and somehow always manages to make you leave feeling more confident than when you walked in. Every single time I leave her chair, I feel more beautiful, more confident, and more like myself. That's a rare gift. Emily is worth every mile, every flight, and every minute. I know, because after 16+ years, I still plan trips around seeing her. Love you, Emily. Thank you for making me feel beautiful all these years. You are truly one of a kind.
