none really. pretty typical questions.

5 qualities of a leader.

nice neighborhood, people seem friendly in general.

What impressed you negatively?

students seem stressed (exam time) had to wait around for a tour (a lot of downtime)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

did not get a student interview because my interview occured near exam time and there were no student available for interview at sacramento. Bottom line: if you can choose, try to pick times when the students are not taking exams, so you can benefit from a student interview.
