What are your general comments?

It was a long day but my first interviewer was very laid back and friendly who gave me feedback on questions I answered. Second interviewer had her own prerogative, asking few medically related questions, mostly about literature &amp; history. After the interview she told me she was retired and working on 3 seperate masters in languages, literature &amp; history. Overall the campus is pretty with a great view &amp; Portland is a cool city to live in.
