School is kind of secluded-no groceries, restaurants near-by, old facilities, didn't give us an info packet/describe the school as much as I'd like
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
When I got there I found out there's a Hojo hotel nearby, and you can just hop on the public bus straight to the school in 15 minutes. Wear comfy shoes, you might have to walk a ways to your interview location.
