I would say the school is nice and the students are generally bored most of the time. If you are looking for a fun school then go somewhere else because the weekends are dead and most people leave every week. The admin thinks of themselves as gods but most teachers are down to earth. Many people who work for the school went to the school so everyone is a buddy and mostly unprofessional. I went, I worked, and I played. Would I do it again? Most likely not but made some great friends while I was there.
