What impressed you negatively?

"School is near the I285/I85 exchange, Atlanta traffic sucks... Left the interview at 4:30 and spent over an hour in traffic... only went 15 miles during that time...apparently this is typical. School is secluded, you would never know it was in the middle of Atlanta... normally this would be a good thing, but using public transport is out of the question... you could not live here without a car. Too bad for a big city like Atlanta." Report Response
