• Make it more exciting.
• Make it shorter.
• I would have a 5 min. stand break between 9&11 besides the ice breaker. I noticed a lot of people becoming restless.
• To question 6: Only 1 meal.
• Every one was very helpful and informative, but it just lacked man power in some areas.
• Make verification & housing not at the same time as registration.
• I think overall it was an easy process, & well handled
• Don't be so repetitive.
• Better food More breaks.
• WHEW! TOO MANY LINES. :)
