What are your general comments?

Overall it was an incredible experience. The students seemed very happy, cool people. I was able to talk to many of them, and they seemed very down to earth. The interviews were not very difficult at all, I was expecting them to be "stress" interviews. That was not the case. It was very conversational, and they just wanted to get to know me.
