Reviewing a training facility is something I wouldn't have had the motivation to do, but Training…read moreUmbrella broke the ice. Normally, whenever I attend work-related training off site the facility is your standard office building with classrooms. That is about it. No amenities aside from the required bathrooms. Training Umbrella takes hospitality to an unprecedented level. Never before have I attended a training course and been privy to the assortment of complimentary items they offer. Every morning there is free breakfast food (cinnamon rolls, bagels, breads, cakes, bagels). You can get your fill of unlimited coffee, tea, or sodas from the fridge. There is a microwave and a toaster if you need them as well. A basket of salty and sweet snacks is always stocked on the counter. Not only that, but every afternoon the desk clerk bakes fresh chocolate chip cookies and brings them into the classroom. It's almost surreal.

I like this school because the staff are motivating and caring, and the class options are flexible. I didn't give five stars because the tuition is higher than most. I have had a positive experience with this college and I am enjoying pursuing my bachelor's degree in nursing presently. I will update my rating once I have completed the nursing program.

If you're a fan of any kind of Americana string band music: old-time, celtic, bluegrass,…read morepsycho-slam grass, folk, singer/songwriter, etc., then take it upon yourself to get acquainted with the Americana Music Academy. Disclaimer: I've been on the Board of Directors in the past, have taught there on rare occasion and am an ardent supporter of their mission which is bringing affordable music education and music therapy to the community. Based out of an old three story house on Mass Street, it's sort of a throwback to another time. An ancient structure that regularly hosts lessons, jam sessions, workshops and general music fun. If you're into the music scene and looking to hook up with other like-minded musicians, this is a great place to start. If they're not already on the teaching staff then the folks there can suggest who you should know. A small organization with a shoe-string budget and few resources, they do a terrific job bringing a lot of joy to the community. I'd suggest you may want to pay them a serious visit if you have a guitar, fiddle, mandolin or banjo laying around collecting dust and want to open your mind and heart to the wonderful art that is making music with others.

KC swim academy is the swim lesson division of Team Unify- a club swim team. During the summer…read morethey offer swim camps M-Th x 2 weeks 30min each. During the school year they have weekly lessons on Sunday. Group lessons are $22 per lesson, and there are a max of 4 kids (but most of the time my kids were in groups of 2 or 3) also if there were 4 kids they usually had 2 instructors per group for the younger kids. I really like the fact that they did not use any swim 'backpacks' like the lessons we had at the YMCA. Suzanne is the director and is so nice and helpful. Most of the instructors are high school kids that swim on the team. They have recently added infant survival (and I believe it is one of the few places in the city that offers it). If you have an infant - I would highly recommend these lessons. They will be an expert swimmer by 3. If you kids are toddlers, you might consider private lessons first. I found we got a lot more out of the group lessons after a few private ones first. We had our lessons at the Shawnee Mission East HS pool, but I think they offer them at a few others during the summer. This is a very well run group and if you have a kid that swims and you want to improve his stroke, they'll do a great job.

I work at KU but on the West Campus so I rarely venture to the Union. Recently, I was required to…read morego there for a graduation ceremony. I was dreading this like a toothache. I pictured terrible parking, difficult to find room and too many people crammed in a poorly ventilated mini-auditorium. To my surprise, the Union was quite a pleasure. Parking was not the nightmare I envisioned and I was able to get a space within walking distance of the Union. I was able to easily locate the Woodruff Auditorium. Staff did a great job of posting directions at easy-to-find locations. I was able to find the auditorium and easily get a seat. The Woodruff Auditorium was big and spacious. I had no problem finding a seat and getting situated for graduation. This is a large auditorium but they did not squish people into spaces. There was plenty of room and it was the perfect climate. The acoustics were great, too, and I could hear perfectly from the back of the room. I was very impressed with this venue. I did not really have a chance to shop or venture into any of the other parts of the Union. From my quick glance, though, I could see this place was stocked with all the amenities people would need. There was a small convenience store, a large bookstore, a bank and other stores tucked away inside this building. Very nice place and the perfect venue for graduation.

I love the Union. It's hard to emphasize how much I love the Union, but I'll sure give it a try!…read moreNow for a walk down memory lane: - Freshman orientation: I first set foot in the Union for freshman orientation. Obviously, I had no idea what I was in for. My dad knew his way around and mysteriously managed to walk us past his "Outstanding Graduate of 1976" plaque. "No pressure" he told me. Yeah right. - Bookstore: "Wait, I need books?" Yes, books are good. The Bookstore has great deals on student essentials ranging from books and papers to Apple products (score!). Remember to load Beak'em Bucks on your student ID during enrollment -- especially if it's on your parents' dime ;) -- and you can use your KU card here instead of cash for some items (not sure if that really works for books, but I doubt it). - Walking to Memorial Stadium for football games: To get to the football stadium, there is a great shortcut through the Union. You enter on the 4th floor and go down to the bottom and presto -- the field is right in front of you! Go 'hawks! - JayBowl: I reviewed JayBowl separately, so I'll be brief. Bowling. *Extremely* student-friendly pricing. Bowling. That simple. - Classes: Yep, I even had a few classes in the Union. The lecture hall on the 4th floor is very nice! - Student Involvement and Leadership Center: If you're interested in getting involved on campus, you should DEFINITELY swing by the SILC office. Tons of awesome organizations to get involved in. Student Senate, Natural Ties, Alternative Breaks, KU LEAD, Greek Life and dozens of other organizations. Definitely something for everyone and lots of interesting people to meet. - Inter-Fraternity Council: Interfratters unite at the IFC office. Not sure how much work gets done, but I'm pretty sure those guys have a good time! - Blueprints Leadership Conference: For aspiring leaders and folks that are just interested in leadership (shout-out to the Leadership Minor), the Blueprints leadership conference is awesome. Check it out. - Rock Chalk Revue practice: I even had a few RCR practices in the Union. For the un-initiated, RCR is an annual variety show and philanthropy founded in the '50s. My wife and I met when we were partners in Rock Chalk so those days hold a special place in my heart, plus we won Rock Chalk pretty handily that year!. I'm sure I'm missing plenty of other great gems about our beloved Union. I hope you have as good of a time as I did! Rock Chalk!
