What are your general comments?
From the morning when I stepped into the Admissions office, when I was greeted by everyone, and offered the remote control to the waiting room TV, it was a very relaxing and welcoming environment. Everything was organized well and scheduled with the applicant's comfort in mind. The office and the students were extremely friendly and they seemed to really enjoy being there. The lunch was amazing, they even had cheesecake for dessert. The interview itself was very enjoyable as the interviewer asked questions about you regarding your personal statement and your interests.
