“I'm graduating from the G-MATP program next month, and I have such mixed feelings about my experience at Sofia. On the one hand, my program director, professors and classmates absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am working as a Creative & Spiritual Director with a busy clientele. I was able to complete almost three certificates: Creative Expression, Spiritual Psychology and Transpersonal Eco-Psychology. The coursework took up enough bandwidth of my life without overtaking it. Nancy Rowe has truly built an outstanding program with a delicate balance of academic rigor and open-heartedness. I received mentoring, personal attention and flexibility to travel the world as I studied. Some of my classmates and mentors have become family to me. The Transpersonal Psychology program is epic, and WAY more affordable and accessible than the competing programs. That being said--the administration has been a complete customer service nightmare to work with. I compare it to my experiences leaving the United States, and my subsequent relief when I return to the customer service here. I've been to many schools, and I was shocked at the poor customer service upon entering the program. Admissions counselors would blatantly disregard my communications, until I eventually got used to expecting the worst when it came to their administration. Then, TWICE--the financial aid office made epic mistakes with my financial aid that left me in dire economic hardship. One time, I was left stranded in an airport with my seven year old because of their error. They had to have the president help resolve it. The other time, they made a mistake in processing my loans that meant I couldn't take my last needed course to finish my Transpersonal Eco-Psychology certificate that I had already taken three of four credits four. Now, no one will help me apply for graduation. I have called, emailed, complained--nothing. No response. I'm a student that needs small accomodations, and not only did no one help me get accommodation, but I cannot BEG for accommodation when it comes to the non-academic part of that institution. I would advise students considering Sofia to go into the program understanding that they will get what they pay for. I got so fed up with it that I decided on California Institute for Integral Psychology for my PhD instead. You couldn't pay me to continue banging my head against the emotional exhaustion of trusting Sofia with more tens of thousands of dollars. That said, the program was worth it. I WOULD recommend the GMATP program to anyone and everyone. It far outweighs cons of the administration. I do recommend you attend this university--with proper expectations of the administration's capacity to assist you. Perhaps your experience will be different than mine and I am an exception--not the rule.”

“Shiny, comfortable building with two different cafes and well-prepared affordable lunches. The Engineering library is here as well, and it is architecturally quite a stunner, surrounded by slightly exotic landscaping choices. The whole shape and feel of the building is at once high-tech, futuristic, but also welcoming despite the desperate students rushing work inside.”

“Amazing experience! The very first day, during the discovery flight you get to actually control [well, control SOME controls] of the helicopter in flight., This was truly amazing and John has great teaching style that is very low-stress...especially handy when you are in a helicopter 1000 ft above ground.”

“Excellent flying school with a modern fleet of over 50 aircraft of multiple types split between Palo Alto and San Carlos airports and an extensive roster of flight instructors to provide any training you may require. The clubhouses at both airports have flight simulators and all the amenities an aspiring or active pilot may require.”

“A fantastic introductory flight experience with Darryl today. He is very nice, and the whole flight with him is very entertaining and informative. On the ground, as he prepared the aircraft for flight, he'd explain what he's doing along in a brief manner, so we'd feel very much involved during the process. And he'd keep things simple and easy to understand, so things stayed interesting, and we wouldn't feel overwhelming. While in the air, I was really surprised by the amount of actual flying he allowed me to do. It WAS beyond what I expected. But, I have to say that although I was nervous about it at first, I had a GREAT time! And more importantly, I actually learnt a lot about aircraft handling in this very first class. And last but not least, the scenic tour was great. The weather was wonderful, and Half Moon Bay looked just marvelous. I will definitely recommend Darryl if you are planning on taking an introductory flight like I did today. You won't regret it. It was well worth it. And finally, I know I've probably said it a lot today already, but once again, thank you, Darryl. Li”

“Simply put, Sue is great. Other reviewers have remarked on her experience and expertise, so I won't repeat that here. What I will comment on is that Sue finds multiple ways to teach the knowledge and skills required to get that coveted pilot license. She gets to know you, the student, in a way that allows her to connect the dots between a skill or technique you're not familiar with and one you are familiar with. In my particular case, she drew frequent analogies to skiing - for example, staying ahead of the aircraft in a similar way to how I anticipate turns on a mogul field. The ability to convey information and impart skills in different ways unique to the individual student makes an instructor really stand out. Everyone I met on my journey to the proud holder of a private pilot license knew and greatly respected Sue. That speaks volumes. Interested in learning to fly? I recommend Sue Ballew.”

“So so plane availability if you're looking into faster planes. Often no one to answer the phone or emails timely or help you find a CFI within a day or two if you need a currency flight, but the club is laid back without too many rules and overbearing paperwork like other clubs nearby.”
