8/10 I was a student here. Was butthurt for a while, got over it. No program is perfect, but kw is one of the better ones. Would recommend for most cases

Very supportive staff. The actual program paper curriculum is really well written and is obviously meant for long term changes. No place is perfect for everyone but this one was perfect for me.
