    I am a recent graduate of OSOP and really liked it. I looked for a long time for a school that was reasonable in price and actually taught you rather than just talked at you. The instructors were really helpful and any time I had a problem, they really tried to fix it. I even have gone back in since graduation to get help on setting up some stuff and they were right there and took the time to walk me all the way through it.

    i attended PCI in 2009 first let me start off with dont let them preasure you into attending there.....you will be better off getting a college degree.....they lie to you about everything and you will have to teach yourself because the teachers dont know anything its like they just picked someone off the street at random and asked thtm to come teach there.....they will not find you a job when your done once you finish you are on your own not to mention the cost to attend there is about the same as your first year at UNT........if you ever have a question everyone will go round and round because no one knows anything.....bottom line its a waste of time and money

    Review
    if you spend one nickle to go to this school you will regret it. they were great untill i gave them my $100 deposit. after that i would make appointments to start paper work to start school and i would be waiting in the waiting area from 30-45 min everytime FOR MY APPOINTMENT. then they lost my birth certificate and a couple other peoples too. so i had to make another copy for them. their time clock is always broken so they put people on probation for not being at school when they really are. and refuse to fix your attendance even if a teacher has u written down for being there that day. they have the stupidest dress code so you have to spend a fortune on new clothes and shoes. speaking of shoes the only shoes allowed are 6inch heels and ballerina flats which have no support at all. the girls working the front desk mess up everyones appointments and clients.the students arent allowed to be friends with anyone who works there so it doesnt make sense why the directors daughter is allowed to be working at the front desk. and the teachers treat you like your in kindergarden. were all adults and get treated like infants. i think i might change career paths because of how negative i feel about cosmetology now. i suggest going to aveda or antionne duchez so you dont have to waste $18000 or 1800 hours of your time.

    Review
    I would be very careful before investing any money into the "education" provided by Madison Media Institute. They are a very small operation that does not put the student first. The administrative staff has very little work experience period, much less experience in higher education. They do however think that they the gods gift to the world and could do no wrong. They love to openly gossip. Which means they do very little to try to improve the school. The atmosphere is very negative. The instructors may listen to students but the administrative staff absolutely does not listen to students at all. And, good luck if you have to deal with the Director of Financial Aid. She will belittle you in front of other people. The registrar will also treat you horrendously. The staff will also openly talk about students they hate in the halls. And, they will make fun of students to their faces. Student Services will yell at you, rather scream at students. There is a lot of harassment that goes on, especially if you have to deal with IT. The president's brother who works there has been know to have anger management issues that are overlooked because he is related. Overall the staff loves to make the school feel like a really bad high school experience. The new programs were obviously thrown together quickly and with out much thought for curriculum, which is obvious if you are one of those poor schmucks that bought the hype and signed up for one of them. They have no substance but at least the teachers will give you good grades without even needing to try. They will talk to you about placement rates but unless you think working at Starbucks is a good job after graduation, don't waste the outrageous sum of money. The school suffers under the management of the president who sits idle while staff runs a muck. Like Mr. Burns in the Simpsons, he is only interested in how he can make money and make himself look good.

    European Massage Therapy School (Skokie, Illinois)

    Review
    European Massage Therapy School in Skokie, IL was the biggest waste of my time and money. I applied for financial aid through EMTS (this is what they call themselves) to help pay for the courses I would need complete to become accredited. Most of the time the instructor(s) would be very late for classes and would be in such a hurry they would not have time to answer any questions or demonstrate the proper techniques. They would never offer additional time to make up for the lack of commitment from their instructors. After about 3 months of attending European Massage Therapy School in Skokie, IL, I changed schools and I am now fully accredited. If I would have stayed with European massage therapy school they would have milked me for every penny they could get. Being a Massage Therapist is a wonderful profession, just start your training in the right place and in my opinion it is NOT, European Massage Therapy School in Skokie, IL!

    Review
    I am a recent graduate of OSOP and truly enjoyed my time there. I have done a lot since my graduation and learned what I needed to in order to work in photography. The staff is helpful and does their best with each student. My only complaint about the school was not with the school, but with some of the other students. I had more problems with whiny, gossipy students who ignored the instructors and tried to help one another rather than asking for help from the staff. I wonder how many of these "dissatisfied students" are ones who were called into the office because of not showing up to class, coming in late, not doing their work, or for attitude problems or chatting on their phones during class. The only students that I knew while I was going there that were "dissatisfied" were those who didn't do their work and didn't show up, so they were in trouble. I would recommend this school to any student who actually wants to learn about photography and has the drive to actually do it. I know they have added an online program, but I graduated from the other program.

    Hi, I am currently a HAPPY & Satisfied student at OSOP. The owners and staff are both friendly and helpful. I have learned so much and feel attending this school has been a positive decision. The curriculum is practical and informative. The tuition is very inexpensive and it's only a quick 9 month program. Those serious about their future should come take a tour of OSOP.

    U of D helped to prepare me for success at graduate and law school, such as Notre Dame and Michigan State. Most of my friends and fraternity brothers were successful architects and engineers, went to medical / dental school, went to great graduate schools for their MBA, and became great teachers. The professors are excellent and down to earth. While the campus is not like Michigan or Michigan State, the education and opportunity that follows after U of D is close to these two schools. Also, Detroit and the metro are great with many things to do (unlike MSU, where there is a nice small downtown but nothing much else to do outside the area). I highly recommend the school; however, only go if you are able to get a partial or full scholarship.
