What are your general comments?

It was a great experience for me, I had great talks with my interviewers, they were so wonderfully interested in me. They were really trying to sell the school to us,and that was a change from how other schools treat their applicants. Facilities are old,but still okay; Dean gave a funny and engaging presentation;
