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.

They don't seem to promote professionalism. There were two people sitting at the reception desk, one was on the phone (the instructor) the other, possibly a student just sat there looking for at least a minute before finally greeting me and checking me in. I had an appointment so my wait up front was brief fortunately. I'm thinking the student who did my hair earned plenty of class credits as I am the first ever textured hair client in her chair for wash, blow dry and flat iron. The very first. We were both nervous. From my one experience here the students aren't taught much about professionalism with their clients. She was pleasant as could be but never once asked about the products I use on my hair, how I typically style it or anything. I was pleased that the instructor stayed very available to her for my service. They used Redken One United products on my hair. As I'm accustomed to Design Essentials line of products so this was new for me. The cons: 1)My stylists was equipped with only one size flat iron. 2) The client chairs are strangely close, me and the client in the next chair almost knocked knees several times. Not kidding. 3) Dead quiet, like being in a library, no music going and very little conversation. 4) Noticeable lack of professionalism.

Art zone is located behind Walmart in a nice strip mall near financial offices. The space is shared with the owners workout studio. What a fun combination!

The pottery date night looks super fun and the kids night camp is a deal for a parents night out. We are looking forward to another one so we can see a movie and grab dinner. The studio is clean and bright. I am slightly jealous of my daughter and would like to take a week off to come do art all week myself.

This place is beyond repressive. Not only am I not a student, I hear absolute horror stories from my wife in reference to hidden charges, unexplained schedules, teachers punishing them for having to miss class. This university is NOT in the favor of the working class student. I was literally fined for brining medicine to my wife on campus, evidently, we are only allowed to park in designated spots, and I have to call ahead to get permission. Permission to take medicine. To my wife. Who has no thyroid. And cant survive without said medicine. This university and its staff deserve all the scrutiny. Because this is not how you treat living, breathing, human beings.

We have been attending this church for about a year now. The pastor when we started, was temporary until they found a permanent one, which they finally found one a few weeks ago. The problem is the "Worship Service" and it's gotten worse. The bible tells us to be separate from the world. What a slippery slope the churches today entertain with drums, guitars and the backup singers and dancers on stage. Doesn't feel like church and certainly doesn't make you feel like your worshiping. We walked out during the worship service today and won't be back. Hopefully there is a church out there that has remained steadfast with the bible. The bible doesn't change.....
