Pros

free lunch and dinner. The cleaning staff are taking advantages of the tree meals

Cons

Wow, where to start! First and most formal, the school is definitely not living up to their own motto "preparing students for universities." Instead, we are accepting students who are high maintenance, spoiled, low motivated, bratty, and much more. We have about 350 students and roughly about 10% of that population care about their overpriced education. We spend more time complaining, disciplining, writing up, expelling students rather than educating and preparing them. The school decided to build a new dorm that is supposed to be ready in September (which took them less than a year to build it). However; the school is lacking all the necessary tools in order to keep the school functioning, you know like classroom spaces, teachers, staffs, resources, etc. We are losing staffs left and right, and I already talked to a couple of people who already decided not to renew their contracts for next year. It seems that the top people are getting more money for little to no effort of improving the school. The school is constantly reminding everyone that we are on a "tight budget" and that we don't have enough money for anything. But, they have no problem with overcharging the students whenever they are low on money. Instead, they want students to sign up for expensive, extravagant school trips to BU, UCLA, BC, and NYC that most can't get in. It seems the only way to get to the top of the school is not through hard work or qualifications, but instead through butt kissing and two facing. The school will literally hire anyone who has little to no experience with working with international students.
