What impressed you positively?

"The school discourages a heavy emphasis on competition by recruiting people who aren't "gunners" and by grading on a pass/fail system. This seems to promote team work amongst the students and just a more pleasant atmosphere overall. The lunch was decent." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The facilities were horrible and run-down. The library was essentially two rooms full of dated journals and a computer lab. The location in north Philly isn't great either. The student tour guide was also said that the first year curriculum isn't very rigorous, which could either be a plus or minus depending on the person." Report Response
