I have heard a lot of good reviews about devry is it not a good school and also do you have any info on any safe and clean areas or apartments in Millenia

I have not been to that area in a while but you might consider taking a quick trip down to look around and get a "feel" for that area before moving. I was looking over there last year and Northbridge apts. looked nice and clean. I'm not so keen on DeVry, Valencia Community College is pretty good and has a tech program too if your brother wants to consider that college too.

I have friends that live in Heritage at Millenia, which is pretty much walking distance from that school. They haven't complained.

My sister actually works at Heritage on Millenia (the same complex boy mentioned), and she & her husband have lived there for probably 4-5 years now with no problems whatsoever. The apartment complex itself is very nice, as well as the 2 or 3 around it; they're all gated too.

The only problem with it, and just the "Millenia area" in general, is it's one of those areas where it's pocketed right around a not so great area. Basically if you look on google maps or something like that, you'll see there's a little area in the middle of the roads Conroy Rd, Millenia Blvd, & John Young Pkwy. That's where Heritage on Millenia and the couple other complexes are. Then there's also nice stores like Millenia Mall, IKEA, Target, Home Depot, etc. So like I said, they're all nice, but once you cross over John Young to the East, it gets into a bad area. Plus, 33rd St. jail is 2 minutes north on John Young.

But to be honest, you just have to be smart...if you're a young girl, don't go out walking by yourself late at night or something like that. I grew up in the area...Rio Grande, Texas Ave, OBT...all parts most wouldn't step into, but you just have to be smart about it. If you're looking for totally different areas that are nice through, try researching the College Park or Thornton Park areas.

Any other questions, just ask. Oh, and I'd agree that if you have other options in general, choose a school other than Devry. I think they're legit, but not the greatest necessarily.
