I was enrolled part time in their weekend and accelerated program for about 5 years, working toward a B.S. in Psychlogy. Perhaps the Psychology Dept. will eventually get bigger and offer more courses, but if you're determined to finish your degree in 4-5 years, this is NOT the school for you. I often felt brushed aside by the Dean and certain administrators, when I had issues to discuss...received only candy-coated responses. Two Profs. that I had were completely crazy and incompetent. Although there is one Prof. in particular that really did affect me in a very positive way. She is the kind of quality Prof. that I expected upon enrollment. The average "day" students that I encountered were rude and had no clue how to interact like adults. Many, many of the students there are obviously financially "priveleged" and flaunt it. It is not a comfortable environment for older students, even though they make it appear that way. The minute classes were over, I'd take off. All in all, I felt as if I primarily jumped through hoops the whole time I was there...my education was mediocre, even though I did try to make the best of it. I've switched to another University that better suits my needs.

I am a fourth year fashion design student. I feel that Woodbury has prepared my well in my field as I have been offered many jobs prior to graduating. The staff is very personable and knows every student by name. This school is well worth the money spent because you are treated as a person not a number and the faculty works hard to provide what you feel you need in your education. Just this year the fashion students recieved all new equipment and they are mantained weekly. The student body has a voice at this school if you choose to exercise it.

I cannot speak for the other programs, but in my short time here at Woodbury, I have already discovered that the communications major is seriously lacking. I realize it is a relatively new major here and not many students are majoring in it, but the administration could try a little harder to offer classes that students actually need to take and not every two years or so. If I continue according to their schedule it will take a million years to graduate. The campus is small, but pretty. There is not much going on here, many students go home or somewhere else for the weekend. If any activities are scheduled, not many students decide to partake. I would definitely not recommed this school to anyone who is looking for challenging coursework or who is expecting the school to help actively them in finding internships and jobs upon graduation.
