Great facilities, student support is amazing, you receive laptop and pda as part of tuition, great faculty, very warm environment

I don't think I can come up with anything better then it is in IA, where the weather is a quite a bit different then where I live now. (I live in a very warm climate)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing I can think of

What are your general comments?

It was very positive experience. They provided a list of students to stay with and she was my best source of information. If I had an acceptance right now, I think I would cancel most of my interviews. The school really fit well with my personality. Everyone was extremely warm and inviting. I felt like they were selling the school to me instead of vice versa.
