What are your general comments?

I liked the fact that we interviewed before the tour. The faculty members were right in the admissions office so it was much easier to meet them. The structured portion was somewhat unnerving, because the interviewers can only smile and nod at you. Afterwards, the conversation/unstructured portion was much more relaxing.
