Is the art institute a good school for culinary arts?
I live in Michigan and cannot relocate. the only school I think here is the Art Institutes in Novi (detroit) I have read mixed reviews and this location opened last year. I don't really have a choice as far as schools since this is the only one. I guess I just would like opinions. Has anyone attended any of the locations? What did /didn't you like about them? Thanks in advance!

Is college just a basic review of high school
Is college just a basic review of high school?
I know your major courses are different but I'm currently in my first semester and I'm paying hundreds on books and tuition just to learn correct grammar and 9th grade algebra all over again? Don't get me wrong I know the first year is general education but damn seriously, is it like this the whole first year?

this is why you should do general ed courses at a community college first before transferring to a university.

i dont know what classes your taking, but im a first semester too and im learning fucking way more than you (sounds like). try getting better classes with the good grades you should have

Answer 3
you should ask because your money is going to waste thats bullshit

Answer 4
It could be that the courses you enrolled in are very basic. If you are scoring 100's on the tests, and ace-ing everything, request transfer to a higher class. College was nothing like High School for me. Every subject was challenging compared to High School, except Math, which was merely equal to High School (but our HS was renowned for Math).

Answer 5
You should have taken placement tests when you entered your school, and that test would tell the counselor what classes you are capable of learning. If you did not take a placement test, and you are studying below 100 series classes, then you need to ask if you can take the placement test to go to a higher class. You may have also misunderstood the counselor or whoever helped you choose the classes, but whatever, don't continue spending hundreds of dollars on something you don't need. Talk to someone about it, and get the classes you need. It may also be possible that they are just starting out slow so that if some of the classmates are there after not attending school for several years can remember and catch up, then the class may pick up speed later in the year, but this being already November, I doubt it.

Reviews: do you want to know what happens
Reviews: do you want to know what happens?
I am writing a review for school, and I am intentionally not giving away important plot points in the story. When you read a review about a book, or a movie, do you WANT know a little bit about the content, or do you prefer the review is vague so it doesn't ruin the story for you?

In my opinion, you should never give away key points in the story. Part of the enjoyment of reading is discovery. You don't want to be a spoiler!

Get really homesick and going to France on school trip
Get really homesick and going to France on school trip?
I get SUPER homesick and im going to France with school on a trip. Also i have read reviews on websites saying that the hotel gives out of date food and someone got foodpoisioning. People have also said that the rooms are a mess and there is gum on the beds, mould and blood on the walls :S Can someone help me cure my homesickness?

Just remember that there are soldiers and sailors who are stationed far from home to protect you and your country who are REALLY homesick and many haven't been home for a year. I am sure that your school trip will be for a much shorter time. Also, be grateful that you are going with classmates and at least a teacher or two. It is even worse for students who have to move overseas to a foreign country where few ppl speak English and have no adult mentors there. Many ppl live their whole lives and never make it to France and you get to go while you are a kid. Keep busy and think about gifts you can get for your family from France. It can be "simple" items-- a package of French cookies, a pair of socks, a key chain, etc. If you are worried about the hotel and the hotel restaurant, print out what you found on the internet and show it to the teacher/adult going with you on the trip. I am sure that your teacher doesn't want to get food poisoning either. Hopefully, you will be eating only breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Eating only the bread and drinking tea will MOST LIKELY be safe. Make sure you have health insurance. If you are in the UK, I believe the NHS will cover you in an EU country such as France. Have a great time!

Which online school is better AIU or Bryant and Stratton
Which online school is better AIU or Bryant and Stratton?
I'm a single mom and want to earn my business associates online . I need something that's going to take a reasonable amount of time and won't cost me a fortune. The reviews on both schools are so mixed it's hard to decide. AIU is faster and cheaper but something about it makes me nervous I'm afraid to get scammed. I'm open to other options as well. I want to start sometime soon I just need more feedback before I make my choice.

Should I review some of my undergrad work before I apply to grad school
Should I review some of my undergrad work before I apply to grad school?
I graduated from college in 2000 with a degree in Spanish. I would like to apply to a graduate program in Spanish, but I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of what I learned in my literature classes. Should I review the information in my old textbooks before I apply for grad school?

Depends on when you want to start grad school. If is soon and you are lacking some confidence in your knowledge then you might want to postpone it a semester and do some serious brushing up. If it is just a few things you are unsure of then set aside a couple of hours a day to catch up. You probably remember more than you think though. DRAGON 2008 "I BELIEVE IN U.S."
