SDN, of course! And a half hour chat with a current student.

What impressed you positively?

The students were enthusiastic and friendly, and the facilities/technology were top of the line.

What impressed you negatively?

Academic rigor didn't seem to be a priority, the students were pretty homogeneous, and the area is a bit remote -- but all to be expected from a state school!

Nothing, it was quite friendly.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I found the whole experience to be quite warm and fuzzy -- almost TOO warm and fuzzy!
