Well, I graduated about a year ago. I thought there were some staff that were excellent- Gary and Doug especially. I do agree with the people who thought that John could be overbearing, and though I am not sure I would call it abusive, he sure as hell could make people cry and get in their faces. I thought there were definitely some fucked up things about the school. The meal plan itself gives people eating disorders, even if they didn't start out with them. And you are expected to label yourself and addict no matter what. They told me I was a food addict and codependent or whatever- I have no problem with either. They also told me I was an alcoholic, when I barely drank at all before I left home. John kept telling me that if I drank in college, I would relapse and fail out, which is funny because I have definitely drank and I am just fine. THey pressure you to label yourself certain things and there is so much lying that goes on you don't know what is true and what isn't. In general, I found it to be helpful because I now I get along much better with my parents and I have learned how to handle a lot of stuff, but I still really feel like there needs to be some changes. I was shocked that MMS is not monitored at all, I was always under the impression that it was. And I find it appalling that John does group and he is not even a licensed therapist. Or he used to do group. My last year there I hardly ever saw him. He and Colleen disappeared. And they made us all feel so bad because people were talking about when John got his expensive car and how much money they were making off us- Colleen was telling us that that they didn't have enough money to buy a crib for the new baby- yeah fucking right! They must have millons of dollars now. I know it's less expensive than other schools, but still. I can't help but feel like they are charging way too much- they charge more than 4 times my liberal art college. I have a ton of respect for Gary and Doug and Colleen and John, but I think there need to be some changes. Some review would be good.
