What impressed you positively?

The people were extremely nice and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school. If you're used to living very close to a big city, you're going to be disappointed. This place is in the middle of nowhere. All they do is study and I'm pretty sure they don't have any social life whatsoever. Also, the only places to eat close by are fast food places and their gym is miniscule so their lifestyle seems to be very unhealthy.
