From scanning the websites and brochures, I think ICO and PCO have very attractive programs and facilities. Did anyone change their minds about their top choice school after visiting the school and talking to students?
 
Hey,

After visiting ICO, it made me want to apply there. The first time I went to Chicago I only saw the outside and it kinda scared me. The school is located in a slightly sketchy neighborhood and I totally didn't want to go there at all. But after going inside, I believe they have one of the best facilities out of all the schools I've visited. Everything's really new!!! So although their campus kinda scary, the school itself is quite nice.

I applied to ICO on a whim, without really knowing much about the place or caring if I got in. However, their application process was the easiest, and they invited me to interview way before anyone else. After my interview and tour of the school, I didn't want to go any where else. I was completely sold on the nice facilities and awesome students I met. I'm thrilled to start there in the fall.
 
Having rotated with a few ICO externs, I don't doubt the education that they receive is top notch. However, the location and the fact that the school was littered with security cameras everywhere was a bit of a turn off. I don't know much about PCO, only that Elkins Park is not the most happening of places.
