What are your general comments?

It was an excellent experience. Everyone from faculty to students to administration were very friendly and helpful. The facility is outstanding and the campus is just outside atlanta so you aren't in the city traffic everyday but you are close enough to go to the city whenever you want/need to. The cirriculum will mirror PCOM-philly so no worries there, and the other interviewee's were really cool as well.
