Friendly inteviewers and the atmosphere of the school. Felt comfortable there.

What impressed you negatively?

The strict rules: dress code and no food/drink outside of the cafeteria. I've heard that you get use to it, but personally I like going to class in sweats on occasion. Not a big fan of studying in dress clothes. And I get thirsty a lot (um yeah..)
