Pros

*lots of resources *lots of opportunities to grow *lots of opportunities to create something of your own *caring, understanding staff, open minded and respectful

Cons

*the town itself is small and is in the middle of nowhere. Might be difficult for people who look for a big city experience *since it is a school environment you are expected to act formally and present yourself professionally, no enforced dress code/guidelines but expected to look clean cut
