What are your general comments?

Not overly impressed, honestly. Equipment is top-notch, I'm sure instruction is excellent, but I really didn't like the location or the building layout. I basically told them Maryland was my last choice and I didn't really want to bring my family to Baltimore. Not sure how they took THAT, but I was still accepted!
