What impressed you negatively?

"Nashville isn't my ideal locale, but its also not as backwards and boring as one might be led to believe. Also the complaints about having too much down time are fairly accurate, but I can't say that I was actually bored at any point during the day. Honestly I tried to get every person that I met to state even one thing they wished they could change about the school and not one gave me a remotely consequential answer. Dare I say that this school might be perfect?" Report Response
