What impressed you negatively?

That they seemed to want to intimidate us, not promote the school itself. All they seemed to talk about was the negative parts of the school and how hard it is; we KNOW it's hard; They should take more steps to sell the school itself and the positive aspects of it. Compared to other schools visited, the facilities were not impressive.
