I was a College Student
Having personally been there in 2001 gives me a perspective that not many of the reviewers here have. This podcast is extremely validating, helping me see that what I experienced there was REAL and not just in my head. I attended music courses with many of those named in this podcast, saw forced resignations of leadership members, was worked to the point of collapse (we called it the “Conference flu”) and became the sickest I’ve ever been in my life, I could barely pay rent because I could work my PAID job of waiting tables on limited time, and after it was all said and done I’m quite traumatized. 9/11 occurred while I was there and I was absolutely devastated while the college did nothing to support American students through that. And the comments from interviewers regarding being pushed aside, cast out, rejected if you couldn’t give everything, or if you were an outcast - it’s true. I experienced that as well. My story goes much deeper than what I’m willing to type out in a review, but this podcast is sharing the truth in regards to the culture, requirements, and manipulation of its students.
