What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by the students. They were polished. we had informal tour guides who were older join us on the tour which was very helpful and a good reflection of the school. Fact it's in NYC

What impressed you negatively?

Fact it's not in an exciting part of NYC. The curriculum could seem a little intense, where they have exam blocks of up to 5 exams a week with no reading days.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Good experience overall. You can't beat NYC and the students were nice. Though if you look in the facebook it is 90% Ivy League covered and I like having students from all over and various institutions.
