What impressed you positively?

I really liked the attitude of the school and the students there. Very easy going and positive. A lot of enthusiasm in talking about the school. Also the new Children's Hospital is INCREDIBLE!!! Doesn't seem like a hospital at all - all sorts of fun things for kids and plasma TVs with gaming consoles in every room. Probably an incredible experience for the kids that have to stay there. I think it would be incredible to be able to work there.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there is a maximum security prison nearby is a little disconcerting, but there is tons of security. And none of the students seem at all concerned about it. Realistically how often does someone escape from prison.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The incredible children's hospital!

What are your general comments?

Overall very good, extremely relaxed. Awesome facilities and school. I look forward to hearing back from them!
