Meet the Makers: Lara Kessler, Demon on Two Wheels and PDX Bag Maker
September 23, 2013
NAME: Lara Kessler
BIRTHPLACE: Outside Philadelphia, PA
Track: Blue TR250
Road: Veloforma F1R
Commuter/ rain/ training: Giant OCR A1
DAY JOB: Chrome Custom bag maker/ seamstress/ designer
HOBBY: Riding or racing bikes and sewing at home. I never get tired of it.
Daft Punk: Get Lucky
Black Sabbath: Changes
Misfits: Skulls
Lana Del Rey: Born to Die
Beastie Boys: An Open Letter to NYCHow did you get started sewing and making things?
I'm all leg with a short torso. I wanted to start designing clothes that fit my body shape and were ahead of the times. It's also an under-appreciated skill that is taken for granted until a person actually knows someone that posses the ability and then all of a sudden, everyone has 500 things that need altering or repair. I like being that resource and making a little extra money in the process.What was your favorite thing you've ever made?
My wedding dress. And the Misfits Crimson Ghost Citizen Messenger Bag for Halloween 2012.You've been making custom bags at the Chrome HUB in Portland since it opened, what bags have you made that've been your favorite?
Definitely that Crimson Ghost bag, the Chicago Bulls Hip pouch, and the Shark Attack and Pendleton fabric Citizens, too.Have you encountered any odd #ChromeCustoms requests?
I get asked regularly if I make custom knife rolls.What attracted you to work at Chrome?
It's pretty amazing that I can say I'm one of four people in the world that holds the position of Chrome Bag Maker. It's like running my own tailoring shop in the heart of the Chrome Portland store. I've met a lot of cool people in the time I've been here.What's your favorite off-the-shelf Chrome product and why?
The Yalta Night Backpack and the Sotnik Duffel Bag. Yalta Night because I'm not normally comfortable wearing a lot of black on my bike, especially as PDX moves into the greyer months, and I know I'm very visible using this bag from that 3M reflective pocket on the front. Even better is that it's a subtle reflective coating and only extremely visible when light hits. If a car tags me from behind, I know it's entirely their fault. And the Sotnik because it's an amazing travel bag! You can carry it in so many different ways and no matter how much you pack in it, it will always fit in the plane overhead compartments.You're a Cat 2 track cyclist, been crushing it in time trials at Alpenrose Velodrome for the past three years. How's the season going for you?
2013 was a transition from track to road for me. I wanted a different challenge on the bike and I had never focused on road racing - I had only used it as leg speed work for the track. Road requires a lot more miles in your legs and it's also different muscle memory. My race season started really early this year and I went hard trying to get at least top 3 right off the gun. I was successful until about July and then my legs were pretty gassed, but I wouldn't quit. Harsh reality: I still have a lot of work to do with my development.What are your future racing plans?
I will most likely return to the track in 2014, but still work hard racing road. My cycling team is road racing focused and it's a solid team that has developed pro riders. That is not my aspiration, but I'm going to try my hardest to be of that caliber.What's your favorite place to ride other than the track?
The Crater Lake rim!! Or Fairmount Loop/ Council Crest Climb in PDX.What's your favorite thing about living in Stumptown?
After living in Chicago for 6 years where the only hills are overpasses, I'm extremely thankful to have so much varying elevation here. I love climbing hills on my bike and the views are gorgeous once you reach the top.What's your favorite recovery meal?
After all those hill climbs, I usually blend up some Chocolate almond milk, yogurt, peanut butter, banana, honey and some post-workout powder. And sometimes a shower beer.Great sushi is in abundance here so I prefer to treat myself to that when I can.
Any shout outs?

Meet the Makers: Caroline Borucki talks bags, music and inspirational decay.
September 5, 2013
NAME: Caroline Borucki
BIRTHPLACE: Hinsdale, Illinois
BIKE: Biria Citibike step-through in olive; her name is Laverne.
DAY JOB: Chrome Chicago bag maker/seamstress
SIDE PROJECT: My apparel & craft brand, self titled 'caroline borucki'
Lil' Red Riding Hood - Sam the Sham & the Pharaoh
Can't Hardly Wait - the Replacements
Age of Consent - New Order
Glass Figurine - Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire
Yekermo Sew - Mulatu AstatkeLet's start at the beginning. How did you get started making things?
I was an avid thrift store shopper in high-school, so eventually I decided to alter clothing to my liking. After getting a good response from classmates, I decided to study apparel design in college.What was your first sewing project?
I was captivated by fabrics with rad prints, so the fit and sizing of thrift items didn't impact my purchase. I know my first projects revolved around transforming long skirts into bubble skirts, and muumuu's into fitted dresses.You've been making custom Chrome bags in Chicago for a long time, can you tell us about some of the favorite bags you've made?
My favorite bags have most definitely been the holiday bags I've done. I draft/cut out special patches that have resembled a reindeer, snowman, color string-lights, Frankenstein and jack-o-lanterns. The time it takes to create them is well worth it when it comes to Chrome Chicago visitors commenting on them. I get really excited about the holidays, so I'm pretty into perking everyone else up about them too.Have you encountered any odd #ChromeCustoms bag requests? Has there ever been anything really crazy?
My favorite requests are from dedicated fans; I've done a few bags inspired by Zelda and sports teams. I assist with choosing the right color scheme and patch placement to make the bag perfect. From the day I began I have been asked by a multitude of people about firearm and rifle scope bags/accessory attachments. I give my input on how to go about it, but still waiting to see images of their final results.If you could have one stock Chrome bag which would you choose?
My favorite bag is my Metropolis, but if we are talking about a bag I've been eying I would say the Sotnik. WHY? Only because I like wearing/using bags that I can fit into. Plus they are great in packing all my merchandise to events & fashion shows.Besides making custom bags at the Chrome HUB in Chicago, you also have your own line clothing, cards and frills, how do you create balance in your life?
It's pretty tough, I'm lucky if I remember to eat throughout the day. I try to map out a weekly schedule of to-do lists, while making a habit of waking up at 6am to go to my workspace before Chrome. Never skipping my morning bagel & cream cheese is most important.Your clothing line takes inspiration from nature's seamy underbelly – a decaying peach, intertidal sealife – what qualities inspire you? What is your process of getting inspired?
I'm inspired by botany, mostly rooted in mycology and plants. The textures and colors associated within these topics is extremely inspiring for me, and I love to use new techniques to mimic the appearances. I try to classify each collection with a specific biological taxonomy, the goal is to learn as much as I can about science along the way of creating collections each season.
Your clothes are very sculptural, how did your education as a sculptor effect your design decisions?
After getting experience in sculpture I realized how similar it could be translated into fashion. While in college I did a lot more sculptural fashion pieces, but when trying to branch into the industry I've had to tone down my ideas for wearability. I appreciate the one-of-a-kind mentality for art, so everything I produce is hand-crafted to be different. I've branched into a lot of 'craft' because having a variety of outlets allows for me to continually develop new skills.You got started out in fashion, what drew you to work at Chrome?
Having life-time warranty products is a pretty rare occurrence, so knowing Chrome had such high standards for their products made me really want to be part of the team. I have always been a 'bag-lady,' carrying around a bunch of cheaply-made thrift-found luggage bags while making daily commutes. It wasn't until I made my own first Chrome bag that I realized I didn't need to invest in a new bag every couple months.Can we pick your brain a bit about Chicago? What's your favorite thing about living in the Windy City?
I've been in the Chicagoland area my entire life, so for me walking down the street and running into people I know on a regular basis is probably my favorite part. Witnessing Chicago's crazy weather is always exciting. Plus the food out here is fabulous!If you some have time off, but only enough for a bike ride where do you go?
I ride around the forest preserve, specifically the Salt Creek Trail. I've been riding that trail since my brother led the way when I was in elementary school. Plus, hanging out with deer in the forest is one of my favorite things to do when I have the time.What's the best music venue in Chicago?
It's not exactly a venue, but my favorite Chicago performance was at the Fourth Presbyterian church downtown. I saw Andrew Bird's holiday show there in 2009, and it was simply fantastic.Besides having fun at Third Thursdays, do you have a favorite bar?
Hopleaf, it has the most amazing selection of Belgian beers, as well as delicious grub. -
Custom Bags
March 7, 2013
Custom Military Salvage Program
March 21, 2012
Since 1995, Chrome has made bags from reclaimed or salvage materials. When we started making our iconic messenger bag with salvage military duffels and tents the response was amazing, particularly from US Military Personnel who wanted us to make bags using their personal duffels and fatigues. These items carry significant meaning, but can't be used frequently in civilian life.
Last year US Army Vehicle Commander Jared Morford of Watertown, South Dakota reached out to Chrome to make a Custom Salvage bag with the duffel he carried to Iraq. Chrome's Custom Military Salvage Citizen was born.
The Chrome Custom Military Salvage Program invites Veterans and military families to bring their military duffels or fatigues to one of Chrome's four HUB locations in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Portland. Chrome bag makers will use this material to create a custom Citizen Messenger bag.
This program is extremely successful. People have shared their stories with us and we are moved. It reminds us how fortunate we are and how bags carry memories and meaning. One story affected us so much we made a short documentary. (link)
Meet The Makers - NYC
September 26, 2011
This month, we're rolling out with a three-part series, "Meet the Makers," profiling our in-house sewing personalities at Chrome NYC, SF, & CHICAGO. Check back each week to read about the Maker closest to you.We begin with the mastermind behind Chrome NYC's Custom Bag program, Briana Thomas.Tell us about the city in which you live & why it's the best.I live in NYC. Originally, I wrote about a page then decided no one would read all that, so I edited it down: 24 hour bodegas.You could probably be knee-deep with other design gigs, considering your skillset. What drew you to Chrome, in particular?My background is in fashion design and something I couldn't stand about the industry was the self-importance and overall crazy egos. Chrome is the total opposite of that. Plus, it's upfront about where and how it's products are made which I find really refreshing.There might be those unfamiliar with our Custom Bag program. Care to explain it?Simply and quickly you can choose every color of every panel of our small or medium messenger bags. Buckle color, velcro color, tape, the possibilities are basically endless - come talk to me!What makes a Chrome bag so tough? What's the secret?Well, for starters: material. Super strong, resilient fabric, hardware, even tough nylon-coated thread. And love, of courseFixed or freewheel?Freewheel. I've had a heavy, clunky, old Schwinn Crusier for forever. What can I say? I love coasting.Encountered any ridiculous Custom Bag requests in your time? Anything you've ever taken someone up on?Dog bags. People really, really, want bags they can put their animals in...maybe on a really slow day...I don't want the death of anyone's poodle on my hands...You offer an assortment of patches as a final touch to someone's custom bag, if they so desire. Which ones are the most popular?I got my hands on some vintage skateboarding patches, those were cool and went really fast. I liked those.Best place to see a show in NYC?The best place to see a show WAS Market Hotel but they got closed down, so I'll go with Death by Audio.Favorite bar? Best Jukebox?Even though I won't go on weekends now, The Levee is still a favorite. Free candy, free cheeseballs, and cheap drinks will always bring me out there. (Gatorita!)Any final remarks?Just a thanks to all the awesome customers who come by to hangout! And those who bring us treats like cookies and fresh baked bread! And a shout out to all my buddies: Jason, Kris, Tijon and Dana who I get to spend so much time at work with, I LOVE YOU GUYS!

RTS without building bases and collecting resources
michalmichal | Aug. 5, 2013 | See all michalmichal's reviews »OK, the game is pretty old now, but it was among the first strategy games with 3d graphics. For a game more than 10 years old it still looks decent and I remember how impressive it was back in the days when it was a fresh release. Ground Control was different than most other RTS games of its time, as it didn't make you build bases or collect resources - it's all about combat, combined arms warfare and more combat. Although its replayability is limited by the fact that everytime you play the mission you can expect your enemy to come in similar waves and act in a similar way, but that's where the Dark Conspiracy expansion comes handy. It expands the game and makes it playtime longer. And it all comes for a ridiculously low price. I know it's not a new title, but still worth playing.

They may be a little much for the quantity you get, but the quality if worth it. I use the mirage color for tying saltwater EP flies and the eyes really finish the fly. Not sure it changes the fish's mind, but I like them. Make sure you super glue/epoxy the eyes in so they stick well.

Pilot program offers free meals in Detroit Public Schools
A new pilot program will offer all Detroit Public Schools students free breakfast, lunch and snacks starting this fall. Michigan is one of three states selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture program.
Kisha Verdusco is spokeswoman for the Detroit Public Schools.
"The plan is to roll this out nationally across the country. We are among the first, and more states will be added each year, and in the year 2014 to 2015 the entire nation will have this program."
Other Michigan school districts can qualify for the program if 40 percent of their students are from low income families.

Help me out please!
I got a real problem that i didn't solve in my mind yet.
My friend has a female WL Gsd with the whole package. she has the looks,drive, and good blood line. He's planning on finding her a good mating partner. And he may give me one of the pups for free. But I got three problems. 1. I wanted to start protection training with my own dog and i didn't even start it yet. 2. I'm working 9 hours a day 3.Mom.(lol) Should i really consider it? it's a really hard decision. What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? (And let's say that i even convinced my mother with the idea of having a new dog in our life.) |

Personally.. If I really wanted protection training... no. Only because of how much that takes, especially if you have a full time job and you're a mom. That or I would stick with OB with your current one and get the puppy if that's what you want.. from experience though... I would not get a puppy again just because the opportunity presented itself. It wasn't a mistake but I was so incredibly stressed..

OP, I highly suggest NOT getting a puppy for those reasons. The fact that you obviously weren't planning on it and seem to have major reservations kinda answers your own question. I know it's hard to pass up a great opportunity like that, but you and your dog will be much better off if the future household member comes at the right time. ~*~*~*~ Furbabies: Sofie Rose born 08/2012 Yann von Erzengel born 02/2006 |

Reminder to students: Cal Grant applications due March 2
High school seniors or recent graduates who meet eligibility and financial requirements were reminded on Wednesday they have until March 2 to apply for up to $9,700 per year to attend a California public college or university.
Cal Grants also cover tuition and fees at some private and independent colleges or career schools, and can also help students pay for textbooks, living expenses and equipment for community college and career technical education.
Applicants must fill out and submit two forms — a Free Application or Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form, according to the California Student Aid Commission, which administers the grant program.
Help with the forms is available at more than 500 "Cash for College" workshops, which are conducted throughout the state during the Cal Grant application window from Jan. 1 until March 2.
At the workshops, applicants receive assistance completing the required forms. High school seniors who attend workshops could qualify for extra scholarships from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the workshop location.
Students can visit www.calgrants.org to locate a workshop in their area, or call 888-CA-GRANT (888-224-7268).
"In spite of California's current economic challenges, it is evident that the Legislature places a high priority on the future prosperity of the state by funding the Cal Grant programs," said Diana Fuentes-Michel, executive director of the California Student Aid Commission.

Comments about White Sierra Trabagon Rain Jacket - Youth Girls' - Special Buy:
I've been looking for a lightweight rain jacket. I actually don't like the high end coats because I find them to stiff and crunchy. I am less concerned with breathability and more concerned with weight. I want something that will pack well in a carry-on.This jacket works. It is waterproof with taped seams and is lightweight. It is a ripstop fabric, which I also wanted. I bought the girls XL even though I am a women's size M or L. It fits well. It hits about hip length. It's not a full length jacket, but it's not a waist length jacket, either which is good. Some of the cycling and backpacking jackets are cut short, so they don't offer protection below your waist.

What do you think about the African Innovations exhibit?
487 comments
i love the way you organized the objects conceptually and how you integrated the video on the dance uses of the costumes exhibited

it's a beautiful exhibition that deserves a larger space in this museum. Thanks
Oct 12, 2012 at 4:04pm
it never fails to attract the attention of my 6yr. old son. he's enraptured by the ceremonial funeral dance video.

I am impressed with the variety! A real anthropological treat!
Oct 06, 2012 at 9:09pm
I really liked the modern things. I think there should be more artifacts of modern African culture. The masks are really cool, especially the Elvis one. The video is awesome! Overall I think this is a very informative exhibition. I think this room needs a more African atmosphere; it is too similar to the rest of the museum. There should be more paintings and mats on the walls.

The African Innovation exhibit was very intriguing.What I liked the most was the Carol Beckwith "Masquerades"
Sep 30, 2012 at 5:05pm
It felt good to learn about my culture.
Sep 30, 2012 at 3:03pm
I agree that, while in some ways informative and aesthetically pleasing, the exhibit does fail to really showcase the variation and individuality of African art through the ages.
Sep 29, 2012 at 9:09pm
I think that the "African Innovation" exhibit was something of substance. It gave me a broader look into the people of Africa and a understanding of the culture to a whole new level.

Fairly interesting, although the placement of all of these thematic pieces all together suggests a racial divide; perhaps it is endemic of the unnecessary subdivision of our arts and sciences--consider mixing pieces together to create a more natural flow and reduce the separation between the arts of various peoples.

The Passions
The Passions
An above-average white doo wop ensemble from Brooklyn, the Passions' abilities often exceeded the quality of their material. They began as the Sinceres, then changed their name to the Passions when they began recording in the late '50s. Lead vocalist Jimmy Gallagher, Tony Armato, Albie Gallone, and Vinnie Acierno comprised the group. They never managed either an R&B or pop hit, despite doing sessions for Audicon, Diamond, Jubilee, and Octavia. Their debut for Audicon, "Just to Be With You," made significant impact, but they couldn't sustain the momentum. Another beloved Passions number is "Gloria." ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi

Carl Zeithaml to 'suspend' UVA interim presidency negotiations
Updated: June 22, 2012 - 07:24 pm
The saga surrounding the presidency at the University of Virginia took another turn Friday when the official tapped as the interim president said he wouldn't assume duty until the school's board made a final decision on the office.
Meanwhile, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell demanded swift action by the school's Board of Visitors on Friday night, asking them to make a final decision on recently resigned president Teresa Sullivan on Tuesday.
McDonnell's request comes a day after interim president, Carl Zeithaml wrote a letter to university faculty saying that he is suspending his role as the school's temporary leader. The governor said that he'll ask for the resignation of the entire board on Wednesday if they don't make a decision.
"The time is now for finality and closure," Gov. McDonnell said in his letter. "I expect you to make a clear, detailed and unified statement on the future leadership of the University."
Zeithaml's letter comes after there were reports that several members of the university's governing board spent Wednesday quietly counting votes and plotting a move to reinstate ousted president Teresa Sullivan.
He cited an "enormous groundswell" of support for Sullivan as his reason to step aside and let the situation play itself out.
Officials say that Zeithaml will hold a 1 p.m. press conference to address the situation.
Sullivan reportedly told The Washington Post that she wants to remain, but only if Rector Helen Dragas resigns.
The board had named McIntire School of Commerce Dean Zeithaml as the interim president.
In his letter, Zeithaml wrote:
"I am grateful for the trust that members of the University's Board of Visitors expressed in asking me to serve as interim president during this extraordinarily difficult time in the life of our University. I made the decision to accept this transition role because of my love for U.Va., as well as my desire to help in a time of crisis.
There is an enormous groundswell of support for Terry Sullivan's reinstatement as our president, and I understand that the Board will meet next week to consider this possibility. As a result, I am suspending any further negotiations with the Board regarding my status as interim president, as well as any activities associated with this role. In the meantime, I will return my focus to the McIntire School."
"Trust cannot be restored in our community until the President Sullivan's status is clarified and ultimately resolved," Zeithaml wrote, signing the letter as the Dean of the McIntire School of Commerce, rather than the interim president.
The full letter from the deans of the university's colleges requesting the reconsideration to reinstate Teresa Sullivan can be found here:

Call for Abstracts
Submit Abstracts Online
When your abstract is submitted, you will receive an immediate automatic confirmation, notifying you that your abstract has been received and will be considered for inclusion in the conference program.
The Scientific Program Committee invites papers of high quality in the areas of STD prevention research, program and policy. Abstract submissions are peer-reviewed for scientific content, logical presentation, and current interest of the topic to the scientific community.
Deadline for Late Breaker Abstract Submission
Late breaking abstracts must be submitted electronically no later than April 15, 2014, 11:59pm, EST. Abstracts sent by mail, fax or email will NOT be accepted.
Required Abstract Format
Submitted abstracts must report new information not previously published or presented at a national or international scientific meeting prior to June 9, 2014. Please note that abstracts previously presented at meetings will not be accepted unless there is a substantial update of data.
Abstracts (300 words in length) should contain the following four components (please bold the four section headings noted below within the text of your abstract submission).
- Background: a concise statement of the issue under investigation or a hypothesis
- Methods: the methods used (including the statistical analyses employed)
- Results: specific findings (promises such as "to be completed" or "to be presented" are not acceptable; no figures or tables)
- Conclusions: a summary of findings that are supported by your results (statistical analyses used to support the conclusions, where appropriate, should be included; concluding statements such as "the results will be discussed" are not acceptable)
Please do not include grant acknowledgements, literature references, or copyright or trademark symbols. Multiple abstracts reporting results from the same study and overlapping abstracts from the same group of investigators are strongly discouraged.
Abstracts are considered official communications to the conference. Individuals submitting abstracts that are accepted agree to attend the meeting and present their abstract as scheduled (as an oral abstract, poster, and/or poster discussion presentations, as determined by the Scientific Program Committee). Once an abstract has been accepted and scheduled, it cannot be withdrawn. Submissions for symposia and workshops are not being accepted.
General Guidelines
For scoring and scheduling purposes, abstracts will be divided into the categories listed below. Please read through the entire list before identifying the subject category, as selection of the wrong area may delay review of the abstract. To ensure the submission is read by the appropriate review team, the Scientific Program Committee may reassign an abstract to an alternate category.

II Program Definition / Prevention Services – This track showcases efforts to define core components of STD control programs and describe implementation of prevention activities within the larger context of public health priorities and target population needs. This "context" is a function of a variety of things and may affect an activities' overall impact and its unintended consequences. From the perspective of the STD program it includes the changing epidemiology of STD and other conditions, limited and shrinking resources, and competing programmatic priorities as well as local public health priorities. From the perspective of those targeted by prevention activities, the context includes economic, health, or venue-based priorities.
- Program Definition

Niamh Needs To Walk is exactly what we are trying to achieve. Niamh is my two year old daughter and has Cerebral Palsy, she needs a life changing operation performed in America to give her the independance she is desperately craving.
Our Story
Myself and partner Dan found out at our first scan we were expecting identical twin girls, although we were very scared we were also over the moon, we had regular checkups and scans but on a scan at 7months pregnant we found out that one of our baby girls Seren Rose no longer had a heartbeat, as you can imagine we were absolutely devastated but needed to stay strong for our unborn child Niamh. Two weeks later on Christmas eve 2009 I was having terrible pains so went to hospital to be checked over, I was told I had a water infection and had to stay in over night, by the morning I was still in alot of pain and on re examination told I was in labour and had to have an emergency caeserean. I then went down to theatre and delivered my two babies. Firstly was my sleeping angel Seren Rose and secondly was my little fighter Niamh. Niamh was taken straight to the high dependancy unit, I cant really describe how it first felt meeting my little girl, she was so tiny and bruised but so, so beautiful and delicate. Niamh spent the first 3months of her life in hospital and did not give up, she caught MRSA and got through it she had Sepsis which can be life threatening but she also got through that. She was so little but so determined and strong, eventually Niamh was allowed home at 3months old but had to go back to hospital a few weeks later for tests as her head circumferance was getting too big. After tests we were told Niamh had Hydrocephalus (a build up of fluid on the brain) The excess of the fluid puts pressure on the brain which can cause it to be damaged. Niamh had to have an operation which meant having a shunt (a thin tube) implanted in the brain to her abdominal cavity draining away the excess fluid, the shunt will be in place for life. This was another test sent to try Niamh but yet again she got through it. Our baby girl came back home but in October 2010 Niamh started doing unusual jerking movements so another visit to the hospital and more tests were done, it was said that Niamh was having infantile spasms which were treated with steroids and luckily this worked as she has never had anymore of the spasms since. After all this in the first year of Niamhs life we thought surely there is nothing else that Niamh would have to face, but we were wrong. At 18 months old we were told that Niamh had Cerebral Palsy, which was heartbreaking to hear but another thing as a family we would get through. So thats why we are asking for donations so that we can get through this by giving Niamh the best chance to walk and be the independant little girl she is so desperate to be. The way we can do this is by raising the money to be able to send Niamh to America for the operation which potentially can be life changing for her. Niamh is such a loving, happy little girl but at times does get very frustrated as she just wants to do everything that all other children are able to do but at present she cant, so please, please support us by making a donation and changing this little girls life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this

Health & Safety: I havent had to use the health center.
Campus Strictness: Being a grad school the population is more mature and less party school environment
Campus Housing: there is no on campus housing
Off-Campus Dining: Dining is within walking distance of the campus. Wide range of cheap McDonalds to 4 star restaurants
Local Atmosphere: If you like the beach and nature it is a great place to live.
Facilities: The campus is spread throughout a few block radius of downtown Monterey. Monterey is a small ocean side town with culture.
Campus Dining: There are many choices for dining from seafood to Indian.
Computers: The access is faster and more reliable then at my home.
Off-Campus Housing: The off campus housing though expensive compared to other regions is in one of the most beautiful areas of California.
Academics: more improvement needs to be done.
Drug Safety: There is absolutely no drug problem among MIIS students.
Off-Campus Housing: Housing in Monterey is fairly nice--especially compared to Santa Cruz, on the other side of the bay--and not too hard to come by.On average, it's not cheap, but there are some decent affordable options. Contact the school or use its Facebook page for new students to find a tolerable roommate--you'll find something without a problem!
Campus Housing: There is no campus housing at MIIS. The school does a great job helping students find off-campus housing, though!
Guys & Girls: Guys and girls at MIIS come from all over the world and vary widely in age. Many are straight out of undergrad, and many others have years of professional experience. If you're into languages and looking to make international friends, MIIS is the place to be.
Athletics: There are barely any athletics found on campus. I have seen a few loosely organized groups but they are always student organized. There are no school organized sports.
Academics: Good Quality Professors – The professors are truly invested in teaching students. Their research interests/projects do not inhibit them from devoting time to teaching and making sure that students understand class concepts/ideas. I would definitely recommend my professors to other students. They not only help me educationally, but also professionally.
Computers: Because the student body is small, there are only a few computer labs on campus. All of the labs offer PCs, but do not have Macs because of the programs that students in certain programs need to use. I think it would be useful to create a computer lab with Mac computers. Our campus is trying to become green, so students are limited to $200 worth of printing each semester. This amount is enough for students each semester and cuts back on the amount of paper used not only by students, but also faculty, and staff.
Local Atmosphere: Small Town – Monterey is a small town, but has a lot to offer for outdoor lovers. There are hiking trails, bike trail, kayaking, snorkeling, and camping opportunities for everyone. San Francisco is a two-hour drive north and offers students the great opportunity to get away from a small town and enjoy city-life. Unfortunately, the transportation from Monterey to other cities, especially San Francisco can be quite pricey, so that is why I rate it a B.
Diversity: Diverse Student Body – The school attracts students from not only the United States, but all over the world. There is a wide array of students from different backgrounds and different countries. This allows students to immerse themselves in a culturally and ethnically strong environment.
Majors: Career Prospects – For language junkies, Monterey is about as good as it gets in the United States. Programs are available for common as well as critical language combinations (i.e. Asian). The State Department and other organizations regularly recrute here, and graduate can be found throughout the world (Washington, New York, Brussels etc.)
Transportation: Public Transport – Monterey county has a fairly good bus system so it's possible to live in surrounding communities and commute to campus. Some communities can even be reached by bike.
Weather: Coming from the Southeast, it's nice to live in an environment that stays mild throughout the year. Humidity is virtually non-existent which tends to zap less energy for studying.
Local Atmosphere: Since Conference Interpreting is a stressful career track, Monterey, California is the perfect location for students looking to enjoy nature and unwind after a week of classes.
Diversity: Our campus reminds the United Nations General Assembly, here you can find (almost) all nationalities and cultures. I've never seen a place like that!
Off-Campus Dining: Off Campus – There are so many places for fine dinning or just a night out.
