What impressed you positively?

The faculty, presentation, organization and facilities were all top notch and the best I've seen

What impressed you negatively?

The area of the school isn't that nice

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the public transportation from the airport takes you through some sketchy neighborhoods, as a girl I would have brought someone with me, or take a cab, I split a cab on the way back and it cost me about $20 still

What are your general comments?

The day was well planned out, they try and make you really relaxed with a powerpoint presentation about the school and financial aid, and you also have a personalized schedule of your day- everyone starts the same, then I had free time where you speak with students, then my interview, then lunch, then a tour. The interview was not stressful, but I've heard it depends on who you get, the students were so friendly and the facility is brand new and would probably be one of the nicest facilities to learn in
