What are your general comments?

The day started at 11am with coffee/tea and cookies. Financial aid came in and briefly discussed the cost of attendence. Lunch was catered. Two 2nd years arrived with bags of lunches and we carried them with us during the tour, which I thought was kinda weird. There is a big difference between the 1 st and 2 nd year facilities right now because of the contruction. Second years get the new building. My first interview was at 1:15 and my second was at 2. Both were conversational and easy going. UNC is trying to make interview day less of a scheduling nightmare so people don't have to wait around as much as years passed. I didn't have to wait at all, but some of the people had to wait an hour. This is my dream school so I hope I get in!!
