Hello!
I just got accepted to the Spring/Summer 2020 CD2 cohort. What had your experience been like. Anything you can tell me will help. I currently live on the west coast and a lot of people are trying to convince me to to go because of Detroit’s bad reputation with safety.

First of all CONGRATS on making the cut!! As for Detroit’s reputation, I don’t believe there is anything to worry about. It’s not like it used to be. Detroit is being gentrified, so it is pretty chill. Of course you have your bad areas, but the campus is fine. Lots of police and safety measures in place. I had the same concern when I moved here, and it is not an issue.
As for school, you will need a lot of study time. I think (in my opinion) you need to be able to focus your time on studying without working. A lot of people do work, but they usually stop in the 3rd semester, they call it “the widow maker” I call it the water board, due to so much you have to do. I’m on facebook, my name is Ion Jarmond, look me up, my pic is a motorcycle on a racetrack. I should be the only one. Anyway, the program is fast paced, DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!! There is no time when you squeeze a 3 year program in 16 months. There are plenty of resources available, and you will do fine. But I will tell you this. You cannot just get buy, you have to have a 75 exam average to pass the class.. doesn’t matter if you have a 95 average, your exams are what count. Hit me up on facebook, if you don’t have one, I’ll give you my cell and we can chat. There are a lot of things that you will need to do that can screw you over. Some people in my class got screwed and it can possibly fail you. So many things to tell you so you can get through the program with no problems. I will tell you this, besides the volume of work, this program has been my best college experience. You will make some great friends. CONGRATS again, and I look forward to chatting with you.
take care
