The great organization and flexibility. From one day to another I could change to a course that was more my level. Very friendly staff.
After two weeks on chairs with fold-out tables I dealt with some back pain. I am 23 and have no other back problems. ;) It was not the end of the world, but after two weeks I really looked forward to tables and sitting straight again.

The teachers were very personable and I liked the amount of conversation we had because that was my poorest ability.
I wish the school offered more activities rather than referring us to other organizations for activities. They could have had a cooking class.
