What are your general comments?

The school is great. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the students here like to have fun. The facilities are nice and newly renovated in some parts, and others need to be worked up a bit. My interviewer was supposed to be conversational, but ended up as him asking me one question after another, more like a grilling session. Some of the questions were very tough. Overall, my experience was +ve and I would not mind attending here in the least.

My interviewer could have been a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. It was a quasi stress interview...

I wish I had prepared better for a stress interview. I was more prepared for a conversational interview.
