What impressed you positively?

They have an admissions person find you and take you to your interview, so there's no worrying about making it on time or finding the place.

What impressed you negatively?

None of the students seemed to have chosen the school just because they loved it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's hard to find a cup of coffee in the neighborhood.

What are your general comments?

the school is a good school, but it seems that all the students are there because of the cost, not because they love it. though they did seem relatively happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
