location, a little too far out in the mountains for me, but really not that far from neat places like Asheville, NC

As much food as you like for lunch!

What are your general comments?

Conversational and very friendly for my first interview, it was like talking to a kindly older relative. Second interviewer was a little more old school, but still very friendly and good sense of humor. Just for reference, I'm out of state and I got waitlisted, but I don't believe I will be attending due to acceptance at my first choice (Quillen was my #2).
