Research&Survey
"It's a little overwhelming and an immediate sense of bearings would be helpful"
"I'd visit more often if there were study/reading areas that were more comfortable/private/inviting."
"I wish CIA students had bet-ter access to online resources outside of the library and school buildings like other case students. And logging into computers without a Case ID is impossible."
