I was surrounded by great people who are super encouraging and nice. They ensure you are learning everywhere you are. The weather and location is a plus. You learn all around valuable skills from independence to communication.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more opportunities to learn more about the ecosystem. I sometimes found myself stuck in the retail/kiosk locations more than I wanted to be, but this did not take away from the experience. I still learned other skills like customer service.
Advice
Do not be nervous to go to this area not knowing anyone or anything. I went not knowing anyone, and I met some great friends and gained so much experience in many different areas.
