What are your general comments?

I was very impressed by the school, especially how well the students got along and how dedicated the faculty is to the students. Our student tour guides were very unconventional and simply gave us their raw opinions on various aspects of their school... mostly positive. From their feedback, I gained the impression that the staff was very dedicated. Every student also agreed that the environment was very cooperative, as the P/F system essentially neutralized any competition whatsoever. Also, everyone (including professors) heads to the bars after exams. Awesome.
