What are your general comments?
It's a shame that Touro chose that site for its campus when it opened a few years back. I think they could have done much better elsewhere. Mare Island is isolated, boring, ugly, and industrial. Also, our tour guide (a student) went out of her way to bash other Calif. schools. Not cool.
