Barking Cat is exactly what you want in an art studio for children. Karen has boundless energy and…read moreenthusiasm and an endless list of engaging projects, and she has an amazing rapport with young kids. My younger son has been going to Barking Cat since he was three, and it really is the high point of his week. He'll talk about the projects he did there all week, carry them around, take them to bed within. And I can see that she has a similar effect on other kids there. Barking Cat is an undiscovered gem. There are classes for a range of ages and the prices are quite reasonable. If you live in Windsor Terrace or Kensington and have a small child with any interest in art (or even one who doesn't seem to) you should look into it. It seems like attendance has dropped off a bit after the pandemic, which is a shame. Kids are missing out on the best art experience of their childhoods.

A True Gem! Dorsey's is like an old growth forest... well worth the trip to attend their openings.read more

DO NOT - I REPEAT DO NOT - ENROLL IN THE NURSING PROGRAM AT MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE…read more Less than 30-40% of students actually graduate. There is little to no real teaching, you are expected to teach yourself everything using ATI modules. When you fail and ask for help or a review, they just tell you to "read more and there is no time to review." You can read everything front to back, and the exams still feel designed in a way that makes them almost impossible to pass - with correct choices being marked as incorrect choice (despite having proof that that is what the book says). It is almost as if the exams are rigged. Even many outside adjunct professors have said it feels like students are set up to fail, possibly so the school can keep charging tuition, especially since many of the nursing credits don't transfer elsewhere. The get to simply re-bill the same people for an education that they already paid for and did not receive. They do not take accountability. When 62 out of 65 students FAIL, they blame the students instead of addressing poor teaching AND the fact that they do not provide CLINICAL EXPERIENCE. The same instructors can have failure rates of 90%+ semester after semester, and nothing changes. You are essentially paying for an education that you are not receiving. Clinical experience, which is required, is limited or nonexistent, yet they still charge full tuition. On top of that, the environment is very discouraging. Staff often speak to students in a condescending, demeaning and disrespectful way, like you are a child. Most nursing students are there because they genuinely want to help people, but that passion is not supported here. Instead, it feels like constant stress, hazing and intimidation. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. Go to a program where students are actually supported, where the graduation rate is high, and where people 90% of students pass the NCLEX. Out of a class of over 60 students, many of whom are repeating the semester, only about 2-3 are currently passing HALF of their classes. That should tell you everything. I'm sharing this to genuinely warn future students. If you're serious about becoming a nurse, choose a different program.

Not only did i…read morehave problem picking classes because my advisor did something to where i couldn't register, but when the actual class started....phewwww, the professors are unorganized like never before. i had to redo assignment due to professor UPDATING a SYLLABUS....like they added assignment instruction 2 days away from the due date.... most students already have that done or damn near done. Professors just talk and dont teach, some do...but who want to gamble? I mean i have to do study 2-4 hours each class... A DAY...maybe 8-10 hours A DAY. i GET NO SLEEP, NO cooking i cant do nothing because professor only want to talk and not teach. i gotta teach myself PLUS the assignments. The professor won't even have a lesson ready.... just them and a dry erase board...which mean notes are basically just dialongue....wtf. i have to transfer oh and i have a vpn so location will show up different but trust i hate this school so much i am here to write about it

I hadn't practiced much for about 3 years until I started taking lessons with Spanish Millennium about 6 months ago, and now I'm able to understand everything I hear again and write better than ever! I'd seriously recommend this business to anyone, whether you're just getting started or trying to master a few specific skills within the language. For example, in our lessons Juan-Luis really focused on helping me cut out "Englishization" errors and smoothing out my use of the subjunctive.

So when the guy I assume was her manager (dark hair, nose piercing) started yelling at her in the middle of the store i became very uncomfortable.

I will not be coming back because I don't want to support a business that treats its workers like that. I never write reviews but this experience just really didn't sit right with me
