I had a very frustrating experience with UM-Flint regarding tuition charges for 3 terms I was not…read moreaware I was even registered for. After initially enrolling, I dropped my classes and stopped pursuing enrollment at the university. I did not register for future terms, did not attend classes, did not participate in coursework, and believed I was no longer enrolled. Later, I discovered that I was being held financially responsible for Summer 2024 tuition and fees. I submitted a petition/appeal explaining that I was not aware I had been registered and therefore had no way of knowing I needed to meet any withdrawal or refund deadlines. The university approved the withdrawal request but still refused to adjust the tuition and fees, meaning they are continuing to hold me financially responsible for classes I did not knowingly register for or attend. In my opinion, this process has been extremely unfair and confusing. If a student is not aware they are enrolled, it is unreasonable to expect them to know about deadlines for dropping or withdrawing. I also feel the university should be able to provide clear proof of how and when the student registered, whether there was any academic participation, and why tuition charges remain valid. I would strongly recommend that students carefully monitor their accounts and get everything in writing, because my experience has been that resolving enrollment and billing issues after the fact is very difficult. This situation has caused unnecessary stress and financial burden, and I am disappointed with how it has been handled.

The RA's and campus police don't do much to enforce the rules either. They also charge a lot of money and can't guarantee you a housing spot and won't refund the deposit if they don't give you housing because they over accept freshmen or others who live five minuets away who are living on campus instead of the people who live hours away. The laundry rooms have problems with the machines not working, not getting fixed, or people not being responsible and getting their laundry in a set time. This school only cares for their big four (Sports, teaching, nursing, business) as they don't care for their arts as much. Many departments are needing new professors and they aren't hiring them, instead they are adding/upgrading the signs around campus to bold signs that don't look all that good. The dining hall has really gross food and they taste like chemicals as well. The student workers at all dining locations seem to not g.a.s. The students tend to not g.a.s. about other students and during the week leading up to and the week of finals they still have tours and events that disrupt people in classes or studying. SVSU only cares about your money and not the student. The professors that I've had all care and try their best despite not getting paid the money they should.

And while it's not quite the same as the bar hopping, house partying, beer bonging, roomate arguing, cold pizza for breakfast days as my undergrad - I really have no complaints about the Troy center! Located on Maple between John R & Stephenson Highway, it's pretty easy to get to - just a couple miles off of I-75. Clear sign from the road, and one main entrance to get inside. It houses only a small collection of classrooms, but even if you ignored your professor emails before the first day of class, there is an electronic screen scrolling the various courses and which room they are located in. There is a large kitchen with a number of tables and chairs, a few vending machines that are always well stocked, and a refrigerator and microwave for community use. In the lobby of the building is also the "Maple Street Deli", which is a small store run by the tiniest, most delightful Asian woman. She will make a small selection of sandwiches and salads fresh for you, and also sell you any number of chips, candy, beverages, and granola bars. She'll always greet you with a smile and remind you to wash that apple you just bought before you eat it. She keeps the Maple Street Deli open even on weekends, so us folks in a Saturday class aer still able to get a quick lunch without leaving the premesis. The bathrooms are large and impeccably clean at all times. I don't know how often the cleaning staff is in there (or maybe we are just a neat and tidy group that doesn't dirty it?) but there is never so much as a paper towel on the floor or splash of water on the sink. Classrooms are set up with large tables and plush rolling desk chairs. They're not stingy with the AC, to the point that I usually make sure to bring an extra hoody or sweater to keep from being chilled. Another great asset to this center is the student work room, stocked with a handful of computers and the crown jewel - a beautiful, new copier/printer that is always fully stacked with paper, can collate AND staple as it copies...never jams or runs out of toner it seems. You may be thinking, "so? big deal - seems like something that would be standard." But ooooh no. I have spent much time in educational facilities and this is not always the case. Facilities aside, any emails I send to the folks in the student services offices here are responded to promptly - like, within the half hour. So thanks CMU Troy for making graduate degrees as convienent and pleasant as possible. (Until I think about the thousands of dollars in tuition floating out of my pocket each semester.)

That's when kids and parents attend an all day meet the school and faculty and see where your child is going to go(and your money). This turned out to be a great day. I was impressed with the facility. They have a great combination of new and old facilities. We met the new President of the College and many of faculty.

Here are a few other things to note about the college.... Alma College boasts a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, a liberal arts approach to undergraduate education, over 40 majors, minors and pre-professional programs, the chance to self-design programs of emphasis and an intensive Spring Term that provides opportunities for innovative courses, travel classes, research and internships. Since 2003, 20 Alma College students have won prestigious national fellowships, scholarships and awards, including 10 Fulbright fellowships and multiple Udall, Truman and Gates-Cambridge scholarships. Alma's Nationally Competitive Scholarship Committee identifies and nurtures exceptional candidates for nationally competitive scholarships, grants and awards. Alma College students are annual high achievers in the national Model United Nations competition. Alma has received Outstanding Delegation awards in each of the last 12 years at the world's largest and most prestigious collegiate Model UN Conference in New York City. In regional competition, Alma has earned 31 Outstanding Delegation awards over the last 15 years. This should be a great fours years....Look for me next time wearing my Alma hat.....

Several of my family members have subsequently attended Alma. Alma has certainly prepared me for my further academic pursuits. However, I must still rate it 3 stars, and here is why... The education is strong, but primarily because the students are driven and well picked by admissions. I believe that the students of Alma College would have succeeded and shone brightly anywhere they studied. Unfortunately, the price of Alma is hindering to many of the Graduates given the current economic climate. They put more effort into asking for Alumni donations after you graduate then helping you connect and move up. Some of the professors are remarkable! Some just aren't. There are professors with agendas, as there are everywhere. However, I feel it is obvious at Alma. I would not recommend Alma for the professors in general. When I was a student the interim president made it very clear that student safety was not an agenda! Student congress squanders money, and is cliquey if not down right rigged. The food is great! However, if you look at the price per meal you might wonder if it is worth the price. The campus is beautiful, and the arts are decent. I will stop there. I loved Alma, and I miss it dearly. However, if you are looking to stand out from the crowd then do the work, bleed, sweat, and apply to one of the top 20 colleges in America. If you don't get in then I recommend you take a year to work and travel after high school. When you return find a solid Community or City college with a transfer option to a good state school. Then plan to get your Masters right after. If you are really committed to your field then earn your Ph.D. and go teach at Alma!

I would say FALSE ADVERTISMENT!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing, because to me, I missed a day of work for this, and on top of all of this I had driven 2 hours to come see this place to get there and find out I was lead in the wrong direction! This is crud and I will never recommend anyone to go, I wouldn't put my time of day into that college. I am furious over this. 2 hour drive and money in my gas tank that I didn't have for nothing. Thank god I found another college that is strictly online. Word of advise for anyone who decides they want to apply there, make sure you are getting the correct information other wise they will make you miss work to drive to their campus, to tell you they don't do certain things. BE CAREFUL!!
