What are your general comments?

I had a fantastic time. They make the decision right after you leave and you'll know in about two weeks, which is awesome. The students really love it there and the school really focuses on the students. I wasn't nervous most of the day really until the faculty interview. The student interview was wonderful. She really made me feel comfortable and I enjoyed talking with her. OSU has become my first choice.
