What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?

"New facility was very sterile. Plain white walls and white tile, nothing on the walls. Too clean. Can't have drinks and food outside the cafeteria. Mandatory attendance and dress code. They really don't have any great study areas, simply only the small library or the cafeteria, most students study at home. Lectures keep you in class nearly 8 to 5 every day. Board pass rate is simply the national averge: 92%." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"They use a standard interview questionare. All students are asked the same questions. The interviewers were friendly and stuck to the script, nothing out of left field.
