What impressed you negatively?

"I didn't like the Bronx too much, but you can take a bus/subway to the city without too much difficulty, and one girl told me the Italian food in the area is amazing. I feel like it was a really dorm-like feel in the apartments in the sense that they pair you up with random people . . . but the apts were super cheap and huge. Lots of the students are married apparently. The match list wasn't overly exciting to me, the library didn't look to comfy, the lectures aren't online, and seems hard to get to a grocery store."
