What are your general comments?
I wasn't blown away by einstein. I arrived at the admissions office a half hour early as directed. They gave me my file to carry to my interview. it took me 10 minutes to walk to my interview site, however, my interviewer wasn't there. Luckily, one of the guys on the elevator with me worked in my interviewers lab so he let me in. i waited for about 25 more minutes for my interviewer to show up and then another 20 minutes for him to read my file. The interview was very laid back, nothing to stress over. It was very conversational.
Housing is nice and cheap. Classes are right across the street from the dorms. The first year lecture hall is beautiful. Despite the not so exciting location in the bronx, all of the students were very happy
