What are your general comments?

Overall this was a great experience, albeit a long day. You get there at 8 in the morning, have interviews and some sessions in the AM (with lots of unattended down time), have a small lunch, then tour both campuses with a student. My interviews were totally laid back and conversational - very comfortable. New curriculum change might be a hard transition for the first class to go through, but I think it will be a change for the better. Overall this day just really got me excited about going to CU.
