The sound in the performance room we were in for his performance was great. The seating reminded me of my Great Grandmother church back home in Chicago (Ebinizer) how the rows are extremely long benches wrapped across the room back to back. Every seat in the house was a good seat unless you are sitting behind one of those signature monumental antique pillars. This building is pretty busy as there are a lot of rooms for performances, educational programs, after school programs, etc. I love the architect and the diversity of the students, program participants, program directors, etc.. I look forward to checking out this place again hopefully during my nephew Holiday performances.

Class sizes were small, teachers were very engaged and I got a wonderful variety of music, dance, art and cultural experiences. The school has a lot of traditional festivities such as the May Day Dance, Pumpkin Patch, the Winter Sing or Dance Concert. The grounds and facilities preserve the history and beautiful architecture of the early 20th century while utilizing current technology and modern design. The Chapel is breathtaking - with stained glass windows from Tiffany. As taken from the website: "Packer Collegiate Institute is an independent, college preparatory day school providing coeducational programs from PreK-12. The oldest independent school in Brooklyn, founded in 1845 in the historic district of Brooklyn Heights. It has a rich educational history...The campus includes 6 connected buildings: Founder's Hall, the Science Building, Alumnae Hall, the Pratt Building, the Commons, and the Middle School." The garden and outside facilities are truly beautiful and worth stopping by even just to see the outside!

While attending NYSID, I interned for the notable David Anthony Easton interior design firm. Upon…read moregraduation, I worked for legendary Albert Hadley (Parish-Hadley Interiors). Those experiences wouldn't have been possible for me, were it not for my exhibited projects at NYSID. There are other exceptional interior design programs throughout the United States, while NYSID continues to be ranked among the highest, both in their accredited Undergraduate and Graduate programs. One reason, is their sole emphasis on interior design studies. Personally, NYSID also filled-in the gaps of where I lacked in education, when I attended public schools in Florida. To learn history, philosophy, art and humanities via an interior design curriculum has stayed with me to this day - a valuable foundation to any architecture and design experiences that I'm exposed to. Additionally, these essential studies help me relate with people from different cultural and demographic backgrounds - at times leading to fulfilling design projects. Attending NYSID also afforded me my first opportunities to travel abroad - St. Petersburg and London, by invitation from professors putting together design tours. Since then, I've traveled extensively where "experiencing" interior design has enriched my sensibilities and personal growth. NYSID's esteemed faculty, talented students and notable board members are a collaborative and supportive academic community, that is committed to excellence. And, the Beaux-Arts period building, itself in the tree-lined Upper East Side neighborhood is a place of inspiration and resource, that houses a well-curated design and decoration library. Today, as a successful sole practitioner in Florida, my foundation with NYSID continues to prove both practical and meaningful. To anyone considering NYSID, I'm confident they'll be thankful for the life-changing experience - academically, professionally and personally!

Requests for help with my online account were ignored completely for months! The staff was rude, lacked follow through on basic requests for assistance, and demonstrated zero accountability across multiple departments. It was the most bizarre experience I've ever had. Not a single person I dealt with (academic advisor, registrars office, dean's assistant, AND the Dean herself) was interested in assisting with a simple request to adjust my registration start date. As a result they proceeded to enroll me in classes for the wrong semester and attempted to charge me approximately 13,000 dollars for classes I wasn't in! Every person I spoke to blamed a different department member and no one took the initiative to assist, all claiming there was nothing they could do. I ended up having to contact an attorney to get the charges removed. I will NEVER recommend this school and have never dealt with such a circus in my life. This institution sorely lacks accountability and professionalism which was extremely disappointing. There are several other AMAZING design schools out there to choose from (Savannah College of Art and Design and Pratt Institute for example), so if you'd like to focus on your passion for design and receive a quality education without the unnecessary stress and nonsense, definitely steer clear of this school.

Hunter College High School is a public academic magnet secondary school located in the Carnegie…read moreHill Upper East Side of Manhattan. That's my neighborhood. It is administered and funded by Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and no tuition is charged. According to Hunter, its 1,200 "students represent the top one-quarter of 1% of students in New York City, based on test scores. I know that's true because I've got a lot of friends that have children that applied for entrance and were overlooked. The school history is interesting. Originally Hunter was established in 1869 as "The Female Normal and High School", a private school to prepare young women to become teachers. The original school was composed of an elementary and a high school. There's a long list of notable graduates if you want to look them up. I love the building because it is a historic Armory. I recommend you visit the photogenic structure. If you are fortunate enough to have your family member attend I recommend you take advantage of every activity and opportunity you have to visit this school. I particularly recommend participating in their extracurricular activities in any form offered. I've enjoyed a few activities throughout the years.

A long time ago, on a subway far, far away*, I attended HCHS. Most of the great teachers I had…read morehave either retired or passed away. Last time I looked, my 9th grade math teacher was still soldiering on slinging the equations and one of my classmates is now continuing the tradition as a social studies teacher, following in the footsteps of Mr. Marienhoff (a great teacher and influence on many of us). Here are some facts about the school not often known outside the Hunter community. Every year, if you take the top 10% of 6th Grade kids in NYC (~2200-2500) that scored well on the 5th grade NYS ELA & math exams (what used to be called the city-wides), gave them the entrance exam and took the top 10% of those, you'd end up with the top 1%, which is roughly, a typical Hunter 7th grade class. Remember that this happens a full 2 years before they would take the Specialized High Schools exam (SHSAT). This gives Hunter the advantage of reaping the cream of the crop long before Stuyvesant, Bronx Science or Brooklyn Tech can get a crack at them. Over the first couple of years, some students will have personal, disciplinary or academic problems and will leave or be asked to leave, but their places are not filled by new students because they can only enter at the beginning of 7th grade. Those asked to leave go back and excel at their neighborhood schools. Like the other NYC specialized high schools, the education is tuition free and the best that the city can offer. Unlike those schools, you'll be staying for 6 years from grades 7-12. The Hunter College Campus Schools (including the Elementary School) is administered by Hunter College (CUNY) and not the NYC Dept of Education. This raises a whole load of other issues because Hunter is not subject to the Chancellor of the DOE nor receives funding like other NYC schools. Starting in 7th grade also gives students at Hunter the opportunity to finish their NYS Regents requirements by 10th or 11th grade and allows them to take more AP courses and to do an internship in their senior year. Completing both programs, the graduate receives both the Hunter and Regents diplomas. There has been a lot of press and allegations lately about the lack of diversity at Hunter and other Specialized schools that are groundless. If you can pass the test, you get in, end of story. Whether you received outside test prep or not, the bottom line is you were either prepared or not, no matter what your ethnic background. You better believe that if you attend Hunter, you will be going to college. With the Hunter name on your diploma, you stand a better than average chance to get into a top tier college or university. Hunter is known as the top feeder to the Ivy League and that is not a hollow statistic, but is proven every year. Among my class of 200, 10 students went to Cornell alone, with 4 to Harvard and others to Columbia, Princeton, UPenn, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth. We even had 3 going to MIT. Those are big percentages that is repeated year after year and that you will not find in any other school. I have very fond memories of my alma mater and appreciation for the place grows as you get older. So what I say to all the recent students and graduates that gripe about their experience at Hunter is that you'll be thankful for it in 10-20 years when all the bad experiences are in the past and you remember all the good things such as your life-long friends and the stellar education that you carry with you for the rest of your life. Here's an example of the work of some current students and a tour of the school. http://vimeo.com/62474345 And to make this a true Yelp review, what little cafeteria food we had was absolutely horrendous. You were better off going to any of the local delis (except the one we used to call the smelly deli). *Star Wars did come out about that time in ancient history and the records of us cutting class to go see it are lost in the mists of time.
