Two Recommendations
You know how sometimes you receive such excellent service that you cannot help yourself from writing a review. Well, I have two reviews of two very different businesses (one is actually a college) and I hope they help you if you are ever seeking either one of the services offered.
One recommendation is for Western Texas College (www.wtc.edu) that is located in Snyder, Texas. I went to Texas Tech University in Lubbock and it was an okay experience. I made high grades and learned some fairly interesting stuff in my majors – Political philosophy and History. But since I didn’t go to law school or to get my MBA after that, I felt like my majors were a mistake. I don’t blame the guidance counselors for not steering me in better and more practical paths, but I do think that they should at least asked me what I was going to do with my classes. The reason I recommend Western Texas College to so many people is that despite having only two year degrees, I have found it to be one of the top colleges in Texas because they have counselors pointing students into areas of study that will immediately help them find jobs (check out their lawn care and golf course landscaping focus). And isn’t that what colleges and universities are for – to not only help a student learn but to help them land a lucrative job. Beyond the counseling, they also follow it up by offering classes and degrees that get students ready to do those jobs. And to top all of that off, they have excellent recruiters and administration, which makes this one of the best Texas colleges for the money. I highly recommend this college.
My second recommendation is for a corporate housing group called At Home Corporate Suites (www.athomecorporatesuites.com). For traveling workers who have to live in an area different from their permanent homes for a month or more, this place is fantastic. I have stayed in several extended stay places that cater to that population, but none of them compare with this place. I know this might sound dumb, but I actually felt like I was in a home away from home in this space. They have nice furniture, a good amount of space, new bathrooms and amazing customer service. They tend to look out for their temporary visitors and they have a way of making you know you are welcome. I highly recommend this place as well.
Okay, you can do what you want with your higher education and your longer stays in various towns, but I figured I would at least put my two cents in – Feel free to comment on either of these places – I’m open to everyone’s reviews. Thanks.
