I can't emphasize enough how amazing Epic Bible College and Graduate School is. The professors are intelligent, passionate, and caring. The classes are built on the Word of God with the goal of growing students both academically and spiritually. There are many opportunities for students to grow in their calling both within the classroom and with other students. The chapels are a space to seek the presence of God, worship, fellowship, and hear the Word of God preached. I honestly believe in this school, the presence of God is evident here. So thankful.Tirzah Neria

This is the best place for Christians that want to learn more about what we believe about God and why. The professors, staff and students are more like a family than a college. This does not diminish the level of accredited scholarship you will receive. The small physical size of the campus makes it easier to feel comfortable after only a few visits. The library is out of this world to grow in the study of religion and history. Make sure you talk to the admissions counselor about enrollment and financial aid available.Karif Lawrence

The staff is very helpful from enrolling to making sure you have everything you need for class. MTI has some of the best teachers around! Every teacher I’ve had so far has been super helpful and understanding and go above and beyond to explain every step of the way so you don’t feel lost. They’re very hands on and invested in every student’s success. When I first came in I felt overwhelmed as to how things would be like but they were all very reassuring. As long as you come to class and pay attention and ask questions there’s no way you can fail!Titus Tinch

BY FAR THE BEST INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER INVESTED MY TIME & ENERGY IN! The moment you walk in for a consultation, the staff will greet you with a smile & positive energy. They are very organized and have great communication skills. If you are lost and need further assistance, the instructors and staff will be there for you. You can most definitely count on them! This is not just a school, this is a community. Much love to ya'll, keep up the good work!Balla Diarra

It is my third week and so far the in person classes have been extremely helpful. I love the campus and staff are extremely friendly. They will go over anything if you don't understand it, even if it is your 4th or 5th time asking. The availability of the teachers ranges according to their own schedule. There are Multiple teachers and instructors to help you out.Richard Saelee

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

Let's be honest. This was your second choice. It's not the "best college in the world" or the "most beautiful campus in the world". Spent one and a half years here where it could’ve been one and a half years spent better elsewhere. Please, this is an extension of high school. Find your education and college experience elsewhere. You will thank me.Hakim Bouzina

I live near this college and me and my wife and kids love to take walks threw it. It's so beautiful and peaceful. Also you have campus police always around so you feel safe at all times. And the bell tower is a nice sight to see. But hearing that thing go off at 11:00pm at night I could go without.Shawn Dronet

I made a payment on Jul 16, 2021, at 9:54 AM still I haven’t received my payment back contacted front desk multiple time. Please contact me I tried to call and emailed multiple people but no one replies. Worst experience ever.Junaid Jamshaid

I moved to California when I was 16 years old I met a lady called Joey that worked for Mcgeorge School of Law. She was the sweetest and really took care of me. Blake the lawyer assisted with my case. They had me meet with them several different occasions to bring in documents( a lot of documentation). We filed my case finally 6 years ago. They were able to get all fees waived and it was a lot. It was truly an amazing experience. I just recently received a call from Blake i now have a workers permit to work in the USA. Sooo grateful. I highly recommend Mcgeorge School of Law. They make you feel comfortable and they get just as excited as you when the paperwork comes through. Love love love them.Tracy

UOP'S Sacramento campus has more than just McGeorge, including many of the new school of health science programs, but the historic law school is the heart of it. Charming brick architecture and a close-knit feel isolated from the surrounding neighborhood.Amaranthine Witch

Attended a day-long seminar on California water. The lecture hall was clean, had buckets of sanitizing wipes available, clear restrooms and chargers available at the desks.C.S. Engeron

ACL is the best improv show in the United States right now. Been a regular since they reopened after the pandemic closure, and they have been making magic on stage. If you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday night, this will not disappoint. You will be treated to a unique show and will laugh until your face hurts… and you will feel like you had a full ab workout the next morning. This is what we all need right now.Matthew Taylor

I've been going to this place since it opened. All of their shows are very funny especially the Fri and Sat shows. The comedy school is great as well I took stand up 101 and 201 and I now have the guts to do it on a regular basis which I never thought I could do. The staff are all comedians and very friendly. Also the prices are very reasonable it's really the best place to laugh in Sacramento.Jeff Brundage

Had a great time and I was so glad there wasn’t a drink minimum! It’s really fun to see local comedians! On the night we went it was improv night. The three different groups were surprisingly good! They had a nice beer selection! They also offer classes!bartellj

It is impossible to put into words the magnitude of gratitude I have for the Reiki Therapist Certification Program and the healing art of Reiki. Before this program, I was on an intentional spiritual journey, trying to challenge myself to be better, while at the same time trying to figure out who I am, who I want to be, and what I want to do. I could feel something missing, something calling, and found the Sac Reiki Center. Reiki has been an integral part of my healing, and I am beyond thankful to Selysa Love for putting the program together. The physical symptoms of my auto-immune disorder are practically nonexistent, and the trauma release techniques are invaluable tools that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. We were given a fully confidential, loving, graceful environment to work in; the breathwork, grounding, meditations and overall education we received feels priceless. From the bottom of my heart, I truly feel so blessed to love each student of my cohort and feel connected in a way that I have never felt. I've always had a hard time fitting in for one reason or another, and this entire group of beautiful humans accepted me with open arms and open hearts. Selysa constantly checked in with us to see what we needed to feel a sense of belonging, and then went above and beyond to provide that. I have learned how to gently release my tensions and frustrations, and how to accept and transform my traumas. By learning so much about my own healing, I am now so much more confident in my abilities to help someone else with theirs. I feel so connected to myself, my highest self, and my spirit guides and angels. Through Reiki, I get to experience heaven on Earth. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Cecilia Bustamante

Selysa is really something special! She is caring,kind, and makes you feel loved 24/7! Just seeing Selysa makes you feel 10× better! The feeling of being stuck in a deep dark hole feels terrible. Selysa is SO GOOD at pulling you out of that hole. I honestly even feel better as a person when I go to my sessions. Meeting Selysa has been the best decision I have ever made. I highly recommend you meet her too. I had never tried Rekei before and was a little nervous. OMG IT WAS AMAZING! Its hard to explain but I will try my best! It's not a massage but it's like it because it makes you feel so relaxed. You can talk to Selysa about your thoughts,feelings, etc. She gives you tools to regulate the nervous system. Selysa teaches you a lot about the nervous system which I personally think makes the tools she gives you even more effective. I highly recommend her!Nicole Lenac

Selysa is a gifted healer who is talented at all she does. It was my first time doing Reiki an it was an incredible experience. Selysa made me feel very comfortable and asked me what I would like to work on before the session. You can tell her things from the following three categories: physical, emotional, and spiritual. I felt a lot of relief to my TMJ jaw pain and she gave me some tips to improve my pain on my own at home. I felt calm and relaxed after the session and felt all worries and stress leave my body. She had a very gentle touch and lead me through a guided meditation that was unlike anything I had experienced before. I felt so loved and supported. Selysa is caring, thoughtful and has such a soothing voice! I will definitely be back again! She also offers private yoga instruction, acro yoga instruction, and classes on the chakras.Amy Linsley

Passed exams on my first try C-33 & Business Law Called on 4/13 placed my order with Phil he answered any and all questions I had and offered to help submit my application to the Cslb when I was ready Received study materials the next day I went through all study material 3-4x Phil submitted my application on 4/21 Received response from cslb on 5/16 Application Fee Number & Personal Identification Number (PIN) 6/15 had to make a correction on my application(my mistake). 6/24 received criminal background live scan packet Did live scan on 6/28 7/5 received okay to schedule my exam dates 7/5 the earliest date to schedule both trade and law exam together 7/20 7/20 passed both law and trade exam’s 7/22 Phil submitted my bond Received my license and certificate on 9/11 I purchased the cslb law and business book ( waste of$$) I purchased Builders Books ( out dated and a waste of $$$) If not for Phil and his study materials I would have not passed my exams, cost $432 I know friends and family that paid and went to a contractors school for $2500-$3200 and they didn’t receive the help and services that I got from Phil If you are serious about getting your contractors license….. look no further….. Phil the License Guru is your man !!!Danny Sanchez

I wanted to get INC after having my company for 14 years as a contractor. I knew that changing it through the CSLB could be difficult and if a mistake was made it could cost you months of time. So I searched out and found GURU. Phil was so fast with communication and he made it incredibly easy. With no time at all I was incorporated through the CSLB with no mistakes. Thanks Phil for making this a great choice!W SDB

So we thought we would handle our CSLB application on our own. Quickly I realized that was bad decision. Got ahold of Phil and within a few days he had us back on track. He has contacts that have helped us get things resolved. He responds to concerns immediately also. I recommend License Guru 100%, no regrets other than we should have let him handle from beginning and we would be 4 weeks ahead of schedule!Kurt Ames

I'm a French pharmacist and I moved in the US in August 2017. At that time, I didn't speak English and to be able to work as the pharmacist I had to pass the TOEFL with a score of 26 in speaking. At the begining, I was so motivated to reach my goal and I started to study intensively.I registered to two different TOEFL Schools and I took weekly private lessons with two TOEFL speaking teachers for 2 years but my speaking score was still not good enough. My best speaking score was 24 after 7 TOEFL tests. It was so frustrated because I had spent so much money and time on it. At that time, I didn't know what to do to increase my speaking score, I felt I tried everythings and I wanted to give up. I thought it was because of my french accent and I could't get rid of my accent. So I started to work more intensively on my accent and I took private lessons on italki twice a day with TOEFL teachers and pronunciation teachers. I did that for 6 months and I tried again the TOEFL. But unfortunately my score was still 24. I was desperate! And a week after I received my TOEFL score, I found Jaime Miller on google and I saw her video about her coaching style and her price. I don't want to lie, I was chock because my former schools and teachers were so much less expensive. For me, it was so much money and I though I couldn't affford that. But anyway, I booked a free session with Jaime to see why her prestation was so expensive. And after this session, I realized I had spoken with a real professionel who definitely knows how to help her students to reach their TOEFL goals. I immediatly felt Jaime was different from my other teachers because she was a perfectionist with 10 years of deep experience how cares about her students. And also, she told me her most sucessful students were stay-at-home moms like I was. So I decided to register eventhough it was a huge investment for me and my family. And since than, I have never regreted because Jaime changed my English and my life. In fact, she offers a totally different way of beating the TOEFL and her price is very cheap compare to what she offers. Indeed, she has a huge website with so many videos and ressources on it and also she has protocols and techniques to work on fossillized mistakes, pronunciation, intonation, rythme and emphasis. And the most important is that she gives you personal and specific feedbacks to all your assignements. My former teachers gave me personal and specific feedbacks too but Jaime's feedbacks are so much more detailled and deep. For example, she corrected each mistakes I did for every speaking recording I sent her. For every mistakes, she put an explanation and a way to fix it with her protocols. I followed scrupullously her method and after 4 months my English was totally changed. My American friends were suprise of my improvement, I had so many compliments from people about my prononciation and the most important I didn't have any issue to be understood by people anymore. At the end after 8 months I got 28 on speaking and I beated the TOEFL! If I had have registered to Jaime 's classes since the begining I started to study for TOEFL, I would have saved a lot of money and time! Thank you Jaime, without you, I would never reach my goal of working as a pharmacist in the US. Don't waste your money, go with Jaime.Marie Ndao

Four months ago, I was giving up with my effort to pass TOEFL; I was sad, frustrated and disappointed. My husband found me crying and complaining that I will never pas this test. My husband said that what I was doing was not productive and a waste of time. He started searching online what kind of training or course could fit my situation. He found Jaime Miller among others and watched her videos. The same day he came to me and said: “Darling, I found the right training for you.” I answered: “hahaha, nothing works with me, she will do nothing as all of these instructors out there.” I was mad. My husband took TOEFL 22 years ago, and he knows what it works; he said that only English is not enough to pass the test, that we need special approach, strategy, practice and method to prepare for this exam. He told me that everything Jaime said in these videos makes very much sense to him and that Jaime has taken the test many times and reached the perfect score of 120. My husband said: “How can instructors do this job without taking the test themselves; this part is critical in looking for the right person.” He told me not to give up and asked me to try with Jaime. I did about 4 months ago and everything changed dramatically and started improving very fast; I was wrong in what I was doing and I learned how to trained myself under the guidance of this excellent and effective instructor. She knows where all of us have to focus; in which specific areas of our weakness we have to work; she understands how the test is structured and where the tricky things are developed to make the exam more difficult such as different type of questions and answers they put in the test; she teaches us how to identify them quickly and don’t get lost. She knows how we can improve our skills in every session: writing, listening, reading and speaking. But we have to study 3 or 4 hours per day, no exceptions or even Jaime will not work. To other students I can say: be committed and be focus; then with Jaime as a coach anybody can pass this exam. Thanks to her I have passed last week and I feel that I can move on with my life, I am grateful to my husband who found her and to Jaime who was the best instructor I could have found.

Ms. Jaime is one of the best tutors that I have seen in my life. Meeting her changed my life. I started studying for TOEFL in 2020 and I needed a speaking score of 26 for my Pharmacy license. I studied myself and attended two online classes with two different tutors. Their classes were based on general problems faced by students. I attended for nearly one and a half years, and I didn’t make any progress. My speaking scores were 23 and 24. I was frustrated because I didn’t know how to improve because of my life situation. I was so depressed, and I thought that I could never go on with my dream career. Fortunately, in Apr-2022, I was able to see a video of Ms. Jaime and my intuition told me that she would be able to help me. I scheduled a consultation with her, and she heard me very patiently. At first, I was reluctant to join her course because I worried it would be like the same courses that I did before. I decided to take her classes and that was one of the best decisions that I made in my life. I did a diagnostic test and she pointed out the main problems that I had in speaking. I tried following her instructions as I could. The best method was her memory pouches, with a simple technique, I improved a lot in terms of grammar and pronunciation. I doubted myself several times, but she gave me confidence and I improved a lot. The best thing about Ms. Jaime was that she replied to my emails immediately and very honestly. After following her methods for 3 months I decided to take a test in Aug-2022 and I got a speaking score of 28, which I could not believe even now. My best suggestion for all who read this is that follow her instructions, try your best every day, and be patient. Some changes take time. All the best to everyone. My family and I are indebted to Ms. Jaime.Blessy Rachel

If you are looking for a yoga studio, come check out One Flow. There is something for everyone here! I remember walking into my first yoga class feeling a little bit nervous and a little bit scared. I guess that is natural when you try anything new. But, the friendly, welcoming community here now feels like home! For beginners, they offer beginner level classes and even a beginner's workshop where you can learn surrounded by others new to yoga. Over the course of the workshop you learn the fundamental poses, touch on Yoga philosophy and walk out with everything you need to know to feel comfortable in a yoga class. You've also probably made a new friend or two to go to your first class with! If the workshop is not for you, just come to a Level 1/Beginners class, you will be in terrific hands with any of the teachers and the warm, supportive community here. If you are looking for something a little deeper in your yoga practice, Kate's knowledge of and passion for the practice of yoga makes this studio special. They have offered workshops on the Yogic texts, Mental Health, and even a 30 day Reboot practice including yoga, meditation and gratitude practices. Each of the teachers bring a special quality to thier classes and their love of the practice is apparent. Come check it out.hiserra

One Flow is the best! They are a small yoga place run by two amazing women in the heart of East Sac. I always wanted to try yoga for increased flexibility and after I retired and moved to East Sac I finally did. Kate and Tracy have created a studio that feels safe and kind and challenges you as you want to be challenged. All the instructors are very caring for us newbies and all level 1 classes that I've taken are perfect. I'm still new, but what I'm learning is that although increased flexibility was my reason for joining, other benefits I receive from my practice of yoga are increased strength and an overall awareness of my body. Also and quite unexpected is a calmer, more kinder me seems to be awakening. If you live in the area and like me have a desire to try yoga – I highly recommend giving One Flow a shot.Steve Pieri

This is the most friendly, welcoming and well run yoga studio I've ever been to! It is clear the owners cultivate a very intentional culture of kindness that permeates every aspect of One Flow from the minute you come through the front door. I attended the 'beginner series' (which I think should be called something different because it is about far more than learning how "to do" yoga classes). In the 8 sessions I learned more about the history, philosophies and true practice of yoga than I had in years at other studios – and I learn something new about my yoga practice with every class I attend here (something I have found sadly lacking at many other studios). Classes here are an amazing mix of meditation, flow and strength based yoga – both accessible and very challenging.jennifer sliney

I rarely write reviews, but in this case I think it is very important to write one for this business. The subject of carrying a firearm (tool to save lives) either exposed or concealed publicly is a big issue in California. The responsibility of having a life saving tool with you at all times is heavily regulated by the state of California in its various forms in functions. There is so much responsibility with this process that it's important that anyone considering carrying or using these life saving tools be fully aware of all of the legal, social and real world consequences and benefits of doing so. I have attended many tool related trainings over the years, literally thousands of hours. Hands down this school is the very best in Northern California. The curriculum, the real world experience, the way this course is taught can not be beaten for the price. You should take this course even if you never think you're going to carry a life saving tool. I want to thank everyone at the school especially Ion for all of the experience, professionalism and dedication to what they are doing. You truly make this world a safer place. I hope to attend additional trainings in the future.D P

As a retired peace officer and former director of a college criminal justice program, I was attending SSTC to qualify for my open carry card to work armed private security details. The training I received at this school was excellent! The classroom instruction was realistic and practical and the class discussions were open, honest and thought-provoking. The weapons instruction was very useful and I was able to qualify with two different calibers. Even though I have over 26 years of law enforcement experience and five years of private security training and experience, I learned valuable information that will be very beneficial to me in the future. The cost of the course was reasonable and the staff was very helpful. Overall, this school offers a great program! As such, I highly recommend SSTC to both new and experienced security personnel.Gaylord Gee

I originally signed up for the concealed firearms course because the pricing was really competitive and because they supplied the ammo. But now that I've completed the course, I'd like say that the real reason to sign up is because of the instructor, Mr. Ian Willis. I've not taken any other firearm classes anywhere, but am hard-pressed to even think that you could find another instructor with the compassion, knowledge, skills and desire to make sure his students truly understand what concealed carry is all about (and he hammers the point that it's all about safety)! He utilizes so many current events to illustrate points that the class has a very unique relevance – it's incredibly informative, entertaining and focused.Ken Briscoe

Nice and new building. Ada compliant with nice main room for studying and hanging out. Nice restrooms and water fountain with water bottle refill. Nice and advanced classrooms with lots of new technologySharon Cohen

This is regarding the Full-Time MBA Program: pretty solid education with some very bright students along with some exceptional faculty and staff. Unfortunately, lackluster support for career switchers unless you want to work in Finance for Intel (the NAND division is now Solidigm under SK Hynix) or a big healthcare provider in the Sac area. I still remember GSM's Dean telling some students during a school event that he believed GSM's cohorts are just as smart as those at Haas. Now no one goes to GSM expecting it to measure up to Haas, but the stark reality is that if Haas's career services/employer connections represent the top floor of a 50-story building, GSM's career services operation cannot even get into the 1st floor lobby or parking garage. It's also my belief the Full-Time Program is not a priority for GSM, and functions more as the foundation for their more viable Part-Time and Online MBA Programs that utilize the same personnel/ resources yet place far less emphasis on career services/ placement. There's a lot of potential here for the Full-Time MBA Program – only time will tell if GSM is able to realize it.Trevor Gould

The first truly contributes to a well-rounded education. The academics are certainly great, but I've learned far more from my peers and their experiences than I have from the classroom. Davis has done a great job of managing to create cohorts that are both diverse (from educational background, to life experience, to race & gender) and cohesive. The second definitely is the Sacramento & Bay location. While the school is often overlooked by close neighbors Stanford & UC Berkeley, Davis certainly has an "in" with Bay Area companies. The Sacramento location also benefits from being located at the UCD Medical Center (healthcare) and Sacramento (government) in general. We get the perks of being relatively close to the Bay but also the perks of being located directly in the State Capital.Jefri Tamba

I enrolled with Visions in Education the first year they were established. Then, when I graduated high school with them, I got a job as a clerk and worked there for about a year. Unfortunately, there were budget cuts and all of the clerks got laid off. It was an effect from when the 2001 tech bubble burst. That said, I really needed Visions in Education. I was having a very difficult time in my health and personal life. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to get back on track and caught up. I liked that I was able to choose between many items, such as which books to study from, as long as they met the curriculum and were on the list. I took college prep courses in English, which I was great at. I was really struggling with math, especially because I missed a lot of school before joining VIE. Therefore my teacher signed me up for math economics, which helped me get back to the basics and apply it to real life. I learned how to write checks, do my own taxes (manually), take house and property measurements, determine how much mileage a car would get on a take of gas, etc. It got me back on track with math, taking away anxiety and prepared me for community college math classes. It also taught me many basic life skills, which mom could not because she worked so much. I also took a kickboxing class near my house for my PE hours. The instructor was happy to sign off on my hours. It allowed for so much more creativity and individualized study. A benefit for me was that I went in my sophomore year. By then, I was very independent in my studies, and I planned to go to college. My mom worked from 1 pm until 10 pm, so she couldn't have been deeply involved. I don't know if it's still this way, but a teacher came by my house once a week, and we would go over everything. If I got really stumped during the week, I was able to call her. I would say the only drawback was my schedule. I have always been a night owl, and I didn't stay on a decent schedule. I had all the friends I needed, and I met them in elementary school (same friends I have this day). I definitely recommend VIE for the right families. Parents, esp with younger children, need to understand that they will be heavily involved with teaching, and it's going to require lots of time. Also, social development could be impacted (however, I believe VIE has implemented some efforts to allow for social interaction with fellow VIE students, but it's up to the parents if they want their kids to participate). Also, public schools are very much limiting school supplies these days, so don't expect any different with VIE, which is also a public school. I don't have kids, but I usually get my niece and her school list and take her shopping. Our church also fills backpacks for kids who parents are incarcerated. That said, there are lots of opportunities for low income families to get school supplies. I hope some find my review useful.Adri J

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VISIONS! I have three students currently enrolled in Visions. One of them is in the Special Education program. The CT's are very caring, experienced, and knowledgeable! And Roderic Branch, Case Manager for my son in Special Ed, is an absolutely AMAZING teacher/mentor/person! They customize your child's educational experience to the individual student! The staff & teachers truly care about the student's LIFE achievements, and not just academics, curriculum, and statistics! Each student K-8, gets $2600 in Educational Funds to use, and with over 3000 vendors, there are endless possibilities for enrichments to keep the students involved in extracurricular activities! I have tried educating my children through SS Charter, private & public schools, and have found VISIONS to be what works best for my family!Serita L. Dykes-Katz

Been with them 8 years, each year is better then the last. They give you as much support as you need and want. Both my kids are extremely happy with their education and freedom of learning. Our teacher has had our kids since kinder and knows them so well. Even this many years later we are happy with visions and all they offer of kids, no other charter compares.Jessica Cook

I only golf 2 or 3 times a year. Had tee time 7am and was able to finish in about 3 and a half hrs. Fairways are generously wide, greens are quick/fast even very early in the morning. A very walkable course. Enjoyed my round and would play here again. UPDATE played the 18 hole course this morning 7:20am tee time and was done by 11:15. Course was in good shape, considering were in a drought, fairways were pretty green all around, but a bit too wet in some parts. Paired up with a couple of my brothers and had a great time bonding. UPDATE Oct 1st. Played course with 10:45 tee time. The fairways were a little dryer than when last played, but still in good shape with plenty of roll on drives hit on the fairway. The greens were aerated about a week and a half ago, so putting was a bit more slower and challenging with all the bumps. Otherwise a nice day to play a round. Also ate at their dining place ordering the senior meal half sandwich and side of fries, tasted pretty good, fries were crunchy the way I like them. Price is on the high side.Yonkers Channel

First time being there with my good friend. He took me for my first time I had a blast. We play the nine hole course. Never played on a golf course before just driving ranges. What experience. The course is very well maintained . I will be going back.L F

Beginning golfer here. I played the executive 9 yesterday and really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be playing here again often. The greens were in good shape and the course design was fun and interesting.Lyal Lauth

It's a nice theater, very clean, helpful staff in restrooms during intermission guiding people traffic to keep the lines moving. As with most event centers, it was pricey and food & bev items were not allowed inside the theater, but sold and allowed in the lobby area. We were in row AA, seats 115 and 116, which was a good view but we had to traverse the whole way existing ourselves since folks had to shift or stand for us to get to our seats. We were sure to relieve ourselves pre-show! Despite a baby briefly crying and someone sounding like they were wrapping presents at some point (notsure what they were doing, but no food allowed so we're assuming it wasn't a bag of snacks… they had lots of heads turning), we enjoyed the performance! We were there for the Nutcracker Ballet. The live orchestra was flawless! Beautifully executed!Ann Spade (ThatSpadeGirl)

Went here to see Hamilton, and it was pretty nice. Given how the upper balcony was quite literally packed elbow to elbow, I appreciated the stringency of the venue requiring negative C19 test results/C19 vaccination statuses. I do suggest asking the venue staff which elevators go to which side of the balconies, because some folk were walking clear across the entire row, and the footing can be precarious if there are people in the seats already. I also suggest getting to your event about an hour before the venue doors open so you can find parking, double check tickets, get a seat on the benches in front of the venue. A bottle of Nestle water was $5. A pack of M&Ms was $5. Plan judiciously. Double check venue allowances for masks, bags, and water bottles. Anticipate long lines at the bathrooms.C.H. “Misha” Jeong

Wonderful place to see a play. Security was fast and efficient. Tickets were scanned ushers led us to our seats and were helping us get situated. Parking was close by and 5.00 usd for the 2 hour show. The drink menu is wine, beer and non alcholic beverages for about 7 to 13 dollars. The seats were comfortable, the wooden arm rests were a little hard. The downfall this venue suffers from is the lack of toilet facilities. During intermission the womens bathroom line was one of the longests i have ever seen. So either go beforehand or hold it for long periods of time. I will be back i hope for more shows.andrew t

I attended DevOps school for Master in DevOps Training. The training was online mode. As we know that after Covid most of industry shifted to Online and mainly training domains are preceding in this. Many thoughts came in my mind whether the online interactive instructor-led class will be fruitful for me or not. Initially I thought to drop online mode of training but there was not any other options and I had to do training to enhances my knowledge plus to growth in my professional career. I heard from my colleagues and friends many positive words about DevOps School. After many researched I joined the Master in DevOps Course. I just want to say all classes went so well and so interactive that I always used to wait for next classes. My Trainer was ‘Rajesh Kumar’ and his way of teaching is really appreciable. I want to appreciate their way of teaching and their coordination was really friendly. DevOps school was always helping Whenever I was having any issues related to training or issues I used to stuck. Apart from training I got many additional benefits like assignments, projects , assessment, interviews assistant etc. There were assignments and projects for each tools, which is one of best part to grabs the things more easily. At the last I want to say, I really appreciate DevOps school for effective training which is still helping me in my professional career. Thank you DevOps school Team👍Gufran Jahangir

One the best Institute to upgrade your skill and professional career I reviewed about DevOps school. The DevOps school is one of the best institute to learn new technologies like DevOps , Devsecops, SRE, Master in DevOps , Cloud , CD/CI , monitoring tools , observability tools etc. You will get best trainer who teaches very fluently and in easy way. I want to point out one of the best Trainer of this institute i.e Rajesh Kumar. His teachings skill and way to explain things is so appreciative. Also if you want to go for job support plan ,you can go this institute blindly At last want to add DevOps school is best institute for any training, Job support , upgrading your knowledge etc. It plays important roles in growth of your professional career. I will rate it more than 5stars. Stars is less to rate this genuine platformIReviewed In

I would rate DevOpsSchool as one of the best Training institutions in the market . I attended there Puppet and Docker training course and I landed on a project the very next month after training completed. If you call DevOpsSchool – ask for Rajesh, he is really good at his work.Rakesh Kumar

Had things going on after over a year going here, decided to drop before the next semester begins to avoid paying for a semester i wont be there for. Called the school talked to admin/Gi bill rep told her I wanted to drop immediately, tried to talk me out of but it I told her i was for sure, then I asked if it was done and I was good, she said yeah. Before I hung up she asked if I could come in to sign some papers, I said no problem but I stressed that the drop needed to take place before the next semester started. Showed up a few days later assuming I was going to sign a paper and leave, asked the clerks for the form and found out that nothing was done and it was a lie to get me to show up. I told her how important it was that I drop before the semester started but the drop hadn't taken place and by that time it was too late, was a $2000 ordeal. After I lost my chance to drop before the semester I tried to make it work but the very reason I was trying to leave ended up happening. It's unfortunate it ended this way. Other notes: School has no problem changing major policies half way through your year, if you feel like your safe because you signed a contract with them there is also a arbitration clause where they pay for their guy to mediate your issues with them. This also prohibits going to court and puts the students in a position where its the school and their choice of mediator who they pay for VS the student. Saw alot of student's who were damaged from the changes and didn't get anywhere. Also school has policy which after completing 60% of your class then you will owe for the rest of the year, so no dropping after that point, just something to look out for so make sure you read all the paperwork cause there is alot of it. Electrical and HVAC teachers are good guys. And many of the staff are helpful people though there are many policies that students don't hear about until it is too late which can put people out.Kevin M

I went to this so-called "school" about four years ago. The financial aid woman totally lied to me about the loan, I was supposed to get some back but apparently she pocketed it herself. And then, they charged me $1,200.00 payable to the school! They said if I paid it, I'd get my diploma and whatever else I needed as proof that I attended the school with great marks. The instructor we had, Mike {cannot recall last name} was totally awesome, a rare individual who really cared and was pretty easy-going. His lectures were very good, his style was just right and the "role play" was pretty cool. Unfortunately he was terminated, as a school rep reported to me when I asked: "It is not our policy to…yada yada yada." All in all they failed me; there was NO help in finding a job, there was NO desire, on their point to help with the job-find part of the deal. I had to find my own damn extern site!! In total, this school sucks. They should have their accreditation checked into, they should be examined for faulty financial aid service, they should examine each employee, especially the financial aid people, to see if they are embezzling from the financial aid being given the students. They're simply a bunch of liars, the "counselors" regardless what they say, are paid a commission for each person they bring in as a student; thus the "bright eyes" lies of the counselors. BEWARE of this school, it isn't what they say it is.rob 56bob

Don’t sign up unless you want to waste your time Listening to these teachers life stories. Learning little to nothing and getting racist remarks said to you then almost getting the cops called on you because somehow your a menace to the school because you put your head down on the table according to some old man that doesn’t know how to open a book and teach the students what we need to learn…most days you go home with no notes and nothing to take home and study the MA class only has 2 or 3 students and the teacher is lazy and unhelpful and a racist And once said to the whole class that she truly believes all Mexicans are good at is making babies. Don’t recommend this school at all and decided to leave and attend a more professional pregitist school… this is a scripted school which will make you believe it’s hard to get in when it’s actuallly really easy some teachers are cool principal is cool and this guy Tom is cool but in majority there’s a lot of stuck up people there snotty kids who think they know it all when half of the time they’re just tryna sound smart I recommend going to ARC instead!Jonny Tang

My 15yo son has been a student of Dane Andrus for about 3 years! My son was playing the piano from his first lesson and is now reading music. The Simply Music method is intuitive; they’ve created a system that is comparative to how we learn to speak then read. It just makes sense! And, Dane is a master at his craft! My son enjoys his lessons and my son always has nice things to say about Dane —not just as a piano instructor but as a person!! I’m really happy with the choice we made!JONES FAMILY

Dane is a wonderful teacher: he’s kind, encouraging and thoughtful. I have always had the goal of wanting to be able to sit down at the piano and just play something. After several years of trying with other teachers, and on my own, I was unsuccessful until I started working with Dane. His method is so simple and was something I could easily pick up. If you are considering taking lessons, I would highly recommend Dane.Victoria Ritter

Dane taught my 14 yo granddaughter the piano. He was very calm and had a demeanor that kept her attention. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn including adults. Unfortunately my granddaughter decided piano was not for her. Very hard to get het to practice. She tried for about a year plus a few months. I very much appreciated Dane working with her. Thanks DaneRebecca Dansby

I graduated here in 2011. Now 11 years later I still have mixed feelings. You should go to this school only if you absolutely must stay in Sacramento. If you’re recruited from another country for a sport, please note that Sacramento is the capitol of California but it’s 8 hours driving from Hollywood and nothing like the movies. Many of my tennis teammates came from Eastern Europe and said they had no clue, they thought they were coming to do college at the beach and hang out with celebrities. Pros +: Air Force ROTC Program Women’s D1 Tennis Very pretty campus in Fall People were genuinely nice The saaaandwich and soda man Acceptance rate was very high then Gave me the degree and future I needed Cons -: Was very much commuter school Most friends you make here won’t go very far Dating was limited (for straight women) most boys I met were just players that lied No one outside of NorCal has heard of CSUS Parking was an issue Full time in state tuition for Spring 2008 was $1863. My last semester in Spring 2011 was $2500 for part time. Can’t imagine what it is now. Professors who write their own notes/book then sell it for their course for $200+ Some of the courses I had to take were not very useful I didn’t feel safe after or before dark on campus and nearby apartment parking lots that friends lived in. I used to run in the dark to/from my car.April B

One of the many, proud students who used to go to Sac State; graduated in the fall of 2019 (and luckily before Covid-19 told everyone to screw off). I was trying to get into Graphic Design but I had no money. So I opted instead for a BA in Studio Art Methods (New Media Focus). I was taking Multicultural Studies on the side. Everything is expensive, some of the faculty have personality issues, the few Alt-Right people kept "yelling theater in a crowded fire house;" the school's transit system doesn't go far enough, and some of the buildings had issues with rain water coming through the roofs. But I have no regrets. The area's beautiful, we're able to get help with food and studies, the learning of other cultures was "colorful" in a positive way, and most of the faculty are pretty awesome. It's not UC Davis, but I highly recommend taking your chances here.Hectotane

I went here on my Field Trip in my Sophomore year and I got to say I was speechless. I was amazed by the structure of the buildings, there was bunch of scholars/students of this University and it was so big that I didn't know what kind of reaction I made. It was fun walking around and seeing so many people. It feel kind of weird because I don't like to see so many people in one place. The cafeteria is pretty small. It crowded most of the time because I can't believe they even have fast food restaurants inside a cafeteria and also Starbucks. It feel like I can reach the top of the ceiling over my head if I was tall enough and be able to touch it. I enjoyed it and it was fantastic to experience a University college.Cheesy 24
