My experience was amazing, except for the hotel I stayed at. I stayed at the Sheraton Fairplex and that place was overpriced, understaffed, and extremely inconvenient. The staff members are rude and inconsiderate. I would recommend staying at the Shilo Suites.

Enthusiasm and camaraderie of students. How they were brutally honest about their school.

I really liked this school despite its dilapidated exterior. The students seem extremely cool. I highly reccommend this school.

The city is extremely dilapidated, and the school is under massive construction. But I think once the construction is finished, the school will help the city become a nicer attraction.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

December 15th is the deadline the schools gives for you to accept their acceptance invitation. After that if you have pay a $1000 non-refundable deposit in order to hold you seat. Also, There are two interviewers that interview you simultaneously. So basically you're interviewed by a panel. One person asks the majority of the questions while the other person takes notes. They were extremely nice and inviting.
