I won't be able to really talk and ask questions from the students becasue they had a test or something ( but had time to play pool when the came to our room!).

What are your general comments?

went to the lobby with about 23 students, mostly OOS. lined up on the order of being there and had couple of presentations. about 90 min of tour of the facilities and other places which was kind of boraing. back to the roon and had a essay and then lunch alone with other applicants. went to the first interview. They were super friendly and talked for about 40 min, back to the room that we were but no one was there as everyone had been moved to another room. I was lucky that another person had brough all my belongings to the second room. was there for about one hour till second interview arrived with a 2nd year student which was also very nice as well. they went back to the room and waited like 5 min for confirmation that I can leave. Overall the environment was very firendly even though the planning of the whole process was kind of lagging.
