What are your general comments?

I liked the fact that the day didn't start until 11. That made it easy for people flying in that morning. The food was not good. The tour was bad but that was only due to the frigid temperature. My faculty interviewer was a nice guy and I really liked the wrap-up. Having a chance to sit and chat with the students more informally was great. A lot of students showed up for it too.
