**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 :|

Alpha was an agency that I heard so many good things about in regards to new parent classes, support groups and counseling. When I arrived the team was welcoming and so helpful. My husband joined me for every class. At the end we left with tools and resources to help us on this new journey. Apart from the material support we received we gained new connections. The facility overall was easy to access, welcoming and clean. The staff made us feel safe, and treated us so well. Parking is located by the building and it's close to the downtown area. They are active on social media and have expanded their services!

I can't even begin to describe the nightmare that is this university. Go here if you want to waste…read moreyour time, money and energy. I don't think there is one damn person in any one office that knows how to do their own job. They lost my transcript not once, twice, three times but FIVE TIMES I had to have it re-sent to them because they "didn't receive it" the first three times and then only could find part of it the fourth, which resulted in them signing me up for a class I didn't need only to find out two weeks after the semester started, and having to switch into the correct class late. That's not the only fax they've lost of mine resulting in me having to jump through hoop after hoop just to do something that should've taken hours, not days, and screwing up my entire schedule. I stayed maybe one or two nights in one of their dorms, hated it so much and asked to withdraw from student housing and they still charged me over 2 grand. The campus security is some of the rudest and most useless people I've ever encountered. They issue parking tickets every chance they can get, and one time I left an expired parking pass on my car and some bitch called me saying if I didn't take it off they were going to arrest me?? I called them to walk me back to my dorm one night because there are so many rapes on campus and they took 35 minutes to get to me. And one time I crashed my bike and was crying in class so they had the police called on me and the counseling office had the police FORCE ME against my will onto an ambulance and said I couldn't refuse treatment which made me miss both my classes that day and instead they took all my belongings except my underwear and had me sit in the hospital for NINE hours before a social worker walked in and said I could leave. This place is literally hell. Go somewhere else.

I attended the PMP bootcamp course in August of 2023 with Anand Pulchan as my instructor. The 4 day…read morebootcamp was jam packed with informative information to help prepare us for the PMP exam and to further our careers in project management. Anand gave real life examples to the topics he was teaching, which made it easier to remember and apply in the workplace. He offered support after the course as well to ensure that we successfully passed the PMP exam. With a few additional weeks of studying based on Anand's guidance, I passed the exam on the first attempt! Thank you Anand!

I attended a virtual PMP Bootcamp in March 2024 with John D. Being new to PM, i was unsure as to…read morewhat to expect. 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.

Mrs. Vogel provided one on one tutoring at an affordable price. Catered much more to my daughters needs and more accommodating/flexible than working with some of the larger tutoring companies out there. We were sad to see her move to away, but then again we did too (have since relocated to Chicago). Nonetheless, she comes highly recommended!
