What are your general comments?

The whole experience was nice. Some boring parts, e.g. FAFSA info, but this is difficult to make interesting, I'm sure. The interviewers were cool, and their questions weren't as lame as I had expected them to be (fellow interviewees claimed that KU's questions were more ''intense'' than the other schools they had interviewed at. This may be true, but I didn't find them to be too bad.)
