It was good and bad at times. I wish there was more money put into things like the bathroom, as the place wasn't clean sometime. Also, just wish some of the teachers were more committed to teaching their students instead of pulling up notes for them to copy. The dress code for girls I wish was more lenient as well, there were times I'd sweat all day because I had to wear pants instead of nice breezy shorts on a hot day. At the end of the day, I did meet some good people there though.
