SND, look up behavioral question online

What impressed you positively?

they are working very hard to get accredited. They spend a lot of money to get the best technology for classroom and lab. Also, I love the idea of 4 houses competing for the class cup (think Harry Potter) and having a second year be your buddy

What impressed you negatively?

I wish they were accredited and had more developed externship sites. I would so go here. I assume security in the area is not great. So many security guards!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they were really innovative and thinking outside to box to provide the best education and experience. I can see them being successful in the future. Just not now
