What are your general comments?
I thought i'd be unhappy with this school based on previous comments, but i walked away very impressed. Get this, they were showing the Vagina Monologues that weekend. The students were all friendly and happy, the teachers and faculty were real helpful. I actually liked the place. It was also nice to hear that the "catholic tradition" is a very very small part of the school.
