SDN, Student Host, Asking friends who interviewed

What impressed you positively?

- My student host was awesome and was very open/honest about the school - Facilities probably newest I have seen amongst several schools I have visited - Opportunities are abound for pretty much anything - Student guides were down to earth - People were happy to be at the school/ sense of school pride

What impressed you negatively?

Loved it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my student host would be so welcoming and nice...I felt bad not giving a gift

What are your general comments?

I think the shadiness of the area is overhyped - it's not much different than going to school in any other big city.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

all the information provided was very detailed and thorough. I appreciated that
