What are your general comments?

It was good. Comparing it to other schools I have been to there were no smoke and mirrors. My interview ran long to over an hour when it was supposed to be 30-45 min, so I had about 45 minutes to wander the campus/ sit in on classes with the other interviewees. Everyone was relaxed and welcoming.
