What impressed you positively?

The students (even ones not from the orientation) were very enthusiastic, personable, and seemed to love the school. The dean was awesome to talk to and the rest of the staff put on an excellent orientation. I also learned that all the lectures are audio recorded and can be accessed on the internet if you cant make it to class.
