Positively 🙂

What are your general comments?

It was very enjoyable, especially once we met current students. They sat with us before our interviews and just chatted/ cracked jokes/ talked about all of the fun things the studentt there do, which I thought was awesome, totally took my mind off of things, and I'm sure I would have just been sitting there very nervous otherwise.

Everyone was so friendly.

Some of the other interviewees were very uptight, which made it hard to talk at all. The campus is under some serious construction, so it wasn't the most asthetically pleasing thing to look at.

Interviews are late, and so is lunch.
