What impressed you positively?

Faculty were very welcoming. It felt like they wanted me to come to their school. The school focuses a lot on professionalism, and academics. I was very impressed with the honesty of the students giving the tour, they loved the school and really tried to convince us how amazing it was, but they also told us some of the things that should be changed. It was refreshing. The facility is new and very impressive.
