What are your general comments?
Being my first interview, the University of Colorado gave me a very stress free introduction to the process. I was truly surprised at how friendly all the other applicants were and how easily we all got along. The whole interview day (including tour and lunch) does get a little tiring by the end of the day though as the adrenaline leaves your body. Getting the nerve wracking part out of the way in the morning is a great idea however.
