SDN and reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The entire experience was incredibly positive. Their facilities are very impressive. The town has really blossomed from where it was before. Last time I was there, there wasn't a whole lot to it, but it has developed A LOT in a very short amount of time. There are lots of good places to live near campus. The area geographically is beautiful, in the mountains, and very close to some skiing resorts. Mr. Doug Taylor is a very good sponsor and advertiser of the school, and the admissions committee is very nice. Overall, I really love this school and can't wait to get there.
