After reading, I had to say something good, and with reason.
You are going to have to pay, or take debt. And I failed a class due to mental health and had to pay 450$ for a class. I wasn't mad, I could have failed, and not got it,. And they were so nice! Dwayne said it was so low that I could be steady with payments, but try to increase. He was smart, and knew we don't wanna relax and pay the bill we wanna be smart and efficient.
I graduated here once for Cannabusiness, it's a very open minded program, not a lot of exact knowing, unless into the science side you want your facts. The teachers even to call out Professor Renfro for the society side of things, and then Professor Dean for making sure you don't get a lose win situation, and know how to really be professional. Both with military backgrounds! AND THEY WORK IN CANNABIS HA!
I have had the most supportive team in my experience here, it's not so crowded like colleges. Which I like. I want that private, and just more ideology, than to have the trend of people you know. That's everywhere.
I will say, if you're going to go, I want to let you know I'm a Alumni, with tattoos on his face , and hands and neck. I am currently in Web Developer certificate path in their system again, and going to double graduate. I only am spending about 16k for both. That is hilarious, a new car is more, but I got 2 career fields for less.
If you're smart, it's about how you play the system that is offered.
And when I say that, they give career advisors, don't think you know it all about your field. You're the learner. Go to the career fields even if you don't get what you want. I "want" Microsoft to show up, but imagine getting a gig at a restaurant setting up IT and working POS and having more fun, just due to them needing it that time and heard your background and seen how you are.
You have an advisor, check up on them and tell them how you're doing and failing, don't call the teachers 12am at night. If you email them, explain, and follow up with a call that helps mostly, then you can get everything cleared and resolved, they also can find resources, so you're not sinking more, there's more hands and buckets for it.
IT support is educated and very professional. I have had a good time in intro to programming and principals of tech with Professor Tran, and Bratcher. I've taken computers as a job, and reduced my time on it to a complete hault. All I do is go to typerracer.com, use pandora, and singe-player games now. This made me having more security in future, and current. It's not cyber, but knowing how things work made me evolve into seeing more. And the books aren't just random, you get almost everything you need and why for your career, not just do and code.
I wish the campus was more live like. We lost a lot due to Covid, so if you are hoping to have this "University Experience" that you usually pay tons of money to live at a college. Then maybe look at Lexington if they are more lively, or something else. This is the "School of Doing", and I realized it's not busy because people are doing things.

Read moreI've gone to multiple colleges/universities all over the world thanks to my travels, but not a single one compares to the experience I've had at Sullivan. The experiences and memories I've made all come from the instructors and the opportunities they've offered us students. From the school work to the volunteering events to their personalities and fun stories/life experiences, I've loved having the chance to absorb it all. I've been to amazing schools, but this school tops the charts. My instructors have gotten to know me and my quirks, they've cared about and all my classmates, they're extremely patient (to the point where I think I need to work on my own patience because I aspire to be on their level~namaste). I came to this school just for fun. I already have degrees and a nice career (and back up career) set up for myself, but the chefs truly believe in me and have pulled out talent I didn't know I had. I don't think I have a lot of talent, but more like I'm good at following THEIR fabulous instruction. I hope the young students mature and realize how good they have it at Sullivan. Their Pastry and their Culinary programs are top tier. I really feel at home here and I don't feel anxious or dread coming to school. I tell other students they're so lucky if they get to come to this school! Chef Rifkind is a talented, sweetheart of a cake designer and so extremely patient. I really believe that it's thanks to her that I'll be pursuing a career in baking. I wasn't going to, but if someone as skilled and attentive to details and perfect as her says to you "you're talented", what are you gonna do? I'M GONNA BELIEVE THE PROFESSIONAL! I'm so excited. Thanks to her, I've also taken better care of my physical health and gotten a new hobby. Chef Gleason is lively and so understanding. I don't know what's more fun, her class or her stories (I love both). Thanks to her, I focus on taking care of my mental health. Chef Sams talks to me like I'm the sweetest person she's ever met and it makes me feel like a good person and like I want to grow that kind part of myself. Thanks to her, Im healing my emotional health. Plus, she's a hoot. I dream about bread thanks to her class. Then, there's the culinary side. Chef Cunha is the reason I fell in love with the culinary in the first place. To be honest, I was only going to take a class or 2, but now I'm full blown IN THIS. This has been the best time of my life. I'm beyond grateful to all my Chef Instructors. It wouldn't be the program that it is, if you all...
Read moreI would not recommend this school. Long story short. I was in my second to last semester. I recieved an email the second week telling me if I didn't find a way to pay a "balance" I had that I would be dropped. I spent the next week trying to find out what that meant and how to fix it. Sadly, by then nothing could be done. Apparently one of my loans changed their qualifications and no one thought to inform me. I never met my beginning financial advisor but she apparently hates me. Why? She sent me an email one day demanding that I find a way to pay her. I had no idea who she was and thought someone was playing with me. I sent back no and asked who she was, I got no response. The day they were going to drop me, I left. I got a job with long hours to pay this "balance". I made an agreement with the school to let me come back for the next quartor available and got an ok until the first day of class. I was informed I could not come back until i paid the balance. So I worked hard and longer hours and then re enrolled and made an agreement and made sure to have witnesses and everyone sign it. The whole time they kept saying different things and never had the same story. Finally I was in class though! That is until the third week when I received an email telling me that I've been dropped yet again. I made 100s on all my tests but according to the instructor, I didnt do any of my quizzes online. I have picture proof and even the website sides with me. The problem is not me, it is the school and their lack of communication between their own departments. If you want a great school that you can even somewhat rely on, I warn you that this is not the school for you. It is most regretful that with all the hard work I did to finish, that I still cannot. Do not waste your time...
