"Nothing really. The surrounding area is kind of dilapidated, but that's just Southern Alabama (no offense!) The water in the shower at the hotel would stand and not go down the drain. The wallpaper was coming down in the bathroom. The carpet in the room was stained up and felt really dirty. The chairs were covered with brown stains. the food in the cafe was good, but service was slow and would disappear, but they were friendly. On a positive note, their was a pillowtop mattress that was really comfortable and I slept well. I guess that's what really counts."

"The interview was great. We had a conversation the ENTIRE hour and 15 minutes. I was only asked like 3 typical interview questions. We mostly talked about my life, horses, and food animals. We then talked about the curriculum and about how I needed to look for scholarships and loans. They are really proactive about you getting accepted. i believe that they want to help you with getting your ducks in a row when it comes to finding money and a place to live."
"The people seem really down to earth and helpful. I really like the family feel and all of the interwees seemed friendly as well. I hope I get in!!"
