**FIRST REVIEW OF 2023**…read more Lol not sure why Yelp would remove my review especially as I'm a medical student at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine who has spent years at this institution. Sometimes the algorithm just does not make sense *shrugs* Anyway short and sweet yet useful-- Tribute to my medical school! MSU CHM in Grand Rapids is one of the two main campuses for their M1s and M2s spending most of their didactics at. The Secchia Center is the main building for this campus and is literally one big giant building with 8+ floors. There's a gorgeous rooftop with a great view of downtown GR that is open spring - fall with floors 1 - 3 hosting most of the classrooms and small group discussions. Floors 4+ has the anatomy lab and clinical simulation floors. The facilities are fairly new with durable, modern furniture of tables, chairs, etc. There's a small library/quiet room that is not used as much since there's so many great study rooms. It's directly connected with 25 and 35 Michigan Spectrum buildings with the first floor having a cafeteria of Qdoba, Starbucks, etc. Some options that are not hospital food. All the main faculty/staff have their offices floors 4+ but with the pandemic, one would check if the individual is in the office that day due to hybrid/remote working. The MSU CHM faculty/staff are wonderful teachers and are different leaders and educators in their own way. Although they are paid personnel, it's still a choice to teach medical students and for the most part, they are doing great conveying their wisdom and expertise to us students. There is security 24/7 on the first floor who often walk around. IT is also available during weekday regular hours but can also be reached by phone as well (shoutout to Jordan). Parking is through Spectrum since MSU does not own the parking lots attached to the building. Custodial team cleans the building and it's a nice, spacious quaint space that is ideal for students to learn in! There is no gym or food/drink options inside the Secchia building itself, but located in downtown and on Medical Mile, there are plenty of options else where. This ended up being a longer review than I thought! All in all, much love and respect to this building. Not every school facility is this nice and new and well-kept. Definitely grateful that I chose Grand Rapids as my campus! If Yelp deletes this review, then that's bonkers :|

Updated: February 2011…read more As an older, non-traditional student, Cooley was a perfect match for me because the school has many course options and scheduling possibilities. With multiple campuses, the resources and course offerings are vast. Plus there is a 2-year option in which you have the option to do three terms a year instead of the traditional two terms a year like 95% of all other law schools. I know many people say bad things about Cooley, but I have experienced nothing other than professionalism, excellent academic resources and a faculty the truly does care about each student. The faculty are there to help you succeed and if you fail, it's your own fault. There are numerous extra-curricular organizations, top-notch moot court and mock trial teams and excellent clinic opportunities. Personally, some courses are easier than others, but for my difficult courses, the professor, the Academic resource faculty and even the Dean of the school have assisted with helping me to get a grasp on topics that are tough for me. The school has a "working" court room that has actual Federal District court hearings a couple time a year. In Feb 2011, there are several big cases being heard in our courtroom with some of the top Federal judges presiding. This is no "mock trial" or "moot court"... this is the real deal! The final exams are tough! But hey, it wouldn't be law school if the exams were easy! Based on your personality, you have the choice of using your computer to type the exam or you can go the "old school" way and write in a Blue Book. The grading is very fair. In fact it takes most Profs upwards of 6 weeks to grade the exams. They use a scoring "rubric" to accurately grade each exam on a non-biased approach. If you aren't familiar with what a rubric is, in short it's an outline which attaches a point value to each item you must mention/describe. All exams are 100% anonymous, so the Profs cannot give you a better (or worse) grade based on if they like you or not. Depending on the state in which you plan on practicing, Cooley will help make sure that you take the appropriate courses so you can do well on the bar. For those students that are worried about the bar, there are optional classes you can take in order to prepare you for the multi-state bar exam. FYI, approx. 94% of the Grand Rapids graduating class passed the Bar Exam last summer... Not too shabby! As I continue with my education, I'll keep updating this profile. For those of you considering Cooley, don't read too much into all the "Nay-sayers" out there... they are only looking for a way to justify their spending an additional $50K on their education! Ohhh.. just in case you are wondering, I'm a 2nd term, full-time student and plan on graduating in December 2012. UPDATE DECEMBER 2011 I've become extremely upset (as have 85% of the students) that most of our classes are now evening or weekend classes. This is not what the majority of us signed up for! I'm a full time, 3L student and I have ZERO day-time classes! Seems like Cooley has turned to a nights and weekends program. Students that have children at home are extremely frustrated that they can't take classes now during the day while kids are in school. I know it's bad too because even two professors even commented to me that it seems like all classes are now scheduled in the night. If I wasn't finishing up at Cooley in the next 7-8 months, I'd consider transferring.

This 100000000000% prepared me for the HESI, I even saw MULTIPLE of similar questions. I love how there are rationales for each answer, including the incorrect ones, and there is an incorrect test bank full of all the ones you've missed. Also, you can filter the practice questions by specialty and areas of focus. SIMPLY AWESOME!!!

I think that YBG is best known for their HESI program, but as I finished my nursing program, and…read moreprepared to take the NCLEX I decided to see what their NCLEX program had to offer and it was honestly instrumental in helping me pass on my first attempt! I used RN Mastery, Archer Review and YBG to study, and while the other programs helped in reviewing content, YBG really mirrored the way that questions were asked on the NCLEX and really helped me understand how to answer those questions! I'd recommend it to anyone preparing to take the NCLEX!

There was a lot of info and insight to what PM was, what to expect on the exam and correlation to many real life work situations. Really appreciated the option of a two week half day option since there was so much material to cover and this helped to absorb what was taught and be able to put it into practice. I felt i was fully prepared for taking and passing my exam. Would recommend this course to anyone wanting to gain this certification.

I came here for a conference that I go to every single year and this time, it was here in Grand…read moreRapids! Walking in, it's part of GVSU's campus and attached to the Engineering building. It's also located immediately behind the Grand Rapids public museum which I've been to in the past! The conference area isn't huge, but can handle a decent amount of people. It's primarily on the second floor only, so that's where we spend most of our time. They have a large meeting room where we ate our meals and sat as a large group for some of our guest speakers. I included some photos so people can get an idea of what it looks like. There's also two lecture hall type meeting areas right next to each other at the other end of the second floor where speakers will present their information with some using flat screen TV's. There's a divider wall present, so I'm sure that could be removed if necessary. I deducted one star for the following reasons. First, the bathrooms are at the far end of the hall, so when you're in the lecture rooms you have to walk far far away to do this. They aren't centrally located whatsoever. It got rather annoying at times and we all kind of found it rather annoying. Secondly, they have a set of stairs immediately when you walk in, but if you need an elevator, you have to walk clear across the entire first floor to find it. Not well planned at all. I had to use it a few times because I was carrying a lot of items around like a heavy backpack with my items in it and eventually a small bag of stuff. I know you can't just move an elevator, but whomever designed this really didn't do a great job. On the flip side, they do have a nice parking counter area to the right when you enter the building. We didn't need it because we were staying at the hotel, but you can get your parking validated at the counter. Overall it's a nice space, and aside from a few quirks, it does work well. Just get ready for a lot of walking up and down the stairs!
