Davis... coming from LA, it was kind of small, very quaint though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's a really far drive from LA. I would suggest flying.

What are your general comments?

It's probably the most laid back interview I have had. No tough questions. What was kind of strange was my student interviewer and I went to the cafeteria, and she did not get lunch. So it was just me eating while she was trying to interview me, so for a sec it was kinda strange. I ended up not really eating and just talking... but then I was starving later. Besides, that it was awesome. My faculty interviewer was the nicest guy ever, we ended up talking about Art and stuff that I had done in undergrad.
