So, how long do you suggest a person visit?
Do you have any questions that a potential students should ask while at the school? How will the visitor know whether the school is telling it all? Will the student be able to have access to, say, the financial records/history of the school during the visit? Will the visit allow the potential student to accurately determine the success and viability of the school?
What exactly will be the info that they will get about the school besides the living conditions? Should they stay a week to really find out if the teaching is any good? How would they know if the teaching is any good?
