What are your general comments?

Overall the day was pleasant and laid back, with the exception of the student interview, who appearead slightly hostile at times. He was a really nice guy, I think he was just trying to see what makes me tick. The two faculty interviews went very well, and both of them did their best to sell Rochester as a great city. I didnt really buy it, Rochester seems average at best.
