First SL hours!

Well.. I definitely never want to go to job corps.
- their computer systems are lacking, and from the perspectives of the people there its really hard. - Theres a lot of drama - theres Very little free time, cleaning in mandatory, and when one person is miss-behaving everyone is punished.
- Apparently there are a lot of fights between students and the particular student I spoke with feels like there opinions and points of view are worthless. This student doesn't feel they can engage in discussion.  When asked if the student was happy they were there it seemed like it was difficult to say Semi- happy. Apparently sleep for this student is hard to come buy as roommates are loud and intrusive at night. Sleeping 5 to a room it definitely sounds unpleasant.
my observations are that - the counselor/ instructor seems to be very condescending and it does show. The student definitely looks angry, frustrated, tired and unhappy.
The student also mentioned that they feel there is a lot of favoritism, and has been held back due to changes in curriculum.
- the student compares it with high school - but MUCH worse.
