What are your general comments?
I was sick which could've affected how I felt about the day, but we were talked to all morning and then sat around and waited for the interview. I got asked some really interesting questions (see lifeguard question above) and it just seemed like a strange place, students would randomly come talk to us, but it seemed like they were supposed to. Not much student contact.
