What impressed you positively?

Almost every detail of the school exists as a result of well-thought out decision and for the sake of the students. Truly no greed here, practice what they preach in regards to their mission (learner-oriented, community oriented)

What impressed you negatively?

No gym inside school (no biggie), quality of food in cafeteria/lounge (no biggie)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

N/A. I thoroughly researched this school, and I suggest others do the same (you will be more and more impressed as you do)

What are your general comments?

As others have said, very impressive school. The only downside to the school is location. Dothan is nice filled with nice people. That being said, you won't find much else besides restaurants/some shopping/medical establishments. Fundamentally not too different from major cities but stark rural contrast just 1-2 miles away makes it seem like an odd place with not much else going on.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
