What are your general comments?

The day was really well organized. Don't worry about having to go off-campus for an interview, the admissions office is really helpful in making sure you know your way to the interview and back. The interviews are very low stress, getting to know who you are is really emphasized as the main point of the interviews all day long. The students are amazing too, everyone was very approachable and interested in answering your questions.
