The admissions office people were the friendliest people I have ever met, the asthetic beauty of the campus, cheap cost of living

That the whole town smells like chocolate year round.
What are your general comments?
The interview at PSU was very promising. The students really like the school and there does not exist a cutthroat atmosphere at all. The facilities are nice and the location is persect of you are from a small city atmosphere. PSU is my top choice so far. There was potential for my interview to be nerve racking judging by the questions I was asked below, but I seemed to luck out because I had reviewed many of those things the night before and had a good answer prepared for each of them. Besides, when I was asked these questions, i basically got 3 words out before my interviewer basically answered the question for me, not too sure what to take of this but oh well. PSU regardless is a very good school and I would be happy to spend 4 years there.
