What are your general comments?

The interview was very, very laid back. He walked in and said, ''we're just here to talk. this is very casual.'' that put me at ease. he asked me a few questions, but it was really up to me to elaborate and let him know about me. the interview was very short. i could have left at 10:30, but i opted to stay for the tour and lunch. the guide, a student, was very enthused and happy to be there. he answered all questions. after the tour we had lunch. i got the chicken salad wrap (nothing else looked very appealing). we sat down and just chatted. the guide was asking me about the HBCU experience. i was happy that i got to speak to a lot of the minority students there. they seemed to like it and were very active on campus. their SNMA chapter just won chapter of the year.
