ESC HAS BEEN GOOD FOR ME.
January 8, 2012
I'm currently in my second term at ESC. Before ESC I attended BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College). In all honesty my experience at ESC has been way better than my prior experiences. This school is for people who are self starters. You have to understand the college system. I also research my professors before I sign up for any course. I've had wonderful professor always willing to help. Also other students are always very ...

Worst expereince ever!
June 5, 2011
This may be one of the worst schools in existence. For a state run public institution it acts if they are a for profit school. They take your money and turn your back. They falsely advertise about the experience and about this being a legitimate degree. 70%+ of all teachers do not respond to e-mailed questions, and do a poor job explaining material. If you do not get the material, or if you would like ...

Wouldn't Change A Thing...EXCEPTIONAL SUNY COLLEGE
September 28, 2010
I am graduating in December and very pleased with my experience at Empire. If it was not for ESC, I would not be where I am today. Yes, it is very difficult at times trying to rectify problems - This is COLLEGE, not Kindergarten. I never expected anyone to hold my hand and glad I took matters into my own hands when necessary. During my orientation/first semester, my mentor was "MIA". I would not tolerate ...

You Decide

Unfortunately for ESC, I can relate to all the negative comments made so far in this forum. The program is, in fact, very "flexible," and it is ultimately up to you (of course) as the student to get something out of it. I was handed a "learning contract" for only one of the two courses I am taking, and it simply consisted of periodically submitting answers to questions from the text and a final research ...

Holding Hands

March 31, 2010, 1:52 a.m.

Some of the comments here are sort of extreme. An intellectually stimulating environment is not to be confused with "holding hands." I still feel you are earning a degree instead of an education at ESC, and in my opinion there is a huge difference. Merely answering questions from a text, accompanied by no feedback and no exchange of ideas, should not be confused with "educating yourself." It only says you're disciplined enough to complete work in a timely and organized fashion, which is certainly of value but just part of being "educated." Remember this is how these mentors make a living here (pretty effortlessly it seems).
By the way, I should point out that their "degree planning course" (which you must take if you are going to graduate from ESC) is, quite honestly, a major fraud in my opinion. We are independent students, so everyone here should be able to plan his/her own education. ESC offers this "course" where YOU PAY THEM, so that you can go ahead plan your degree on your own. How is that for not holding your hand and generating profit at the same time? Easy money! 

Again, you must choose between a degree and an a real education.
