What are your general comments?

My interview was great. I had a good conversation with my interviewer that encroached on the next person's time. The tour was fine, the facilities are solid despite the apparent age of the hospital. The only detriment on the school is that it is strapped for funding assistance from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
