The staff are really nice people and are very helpful. I was also able to sit in on a class which was really cool.

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, but do your research...

What are your general comments?

I had been on SDN and read about other people's interviews and mine wasn't bad but I didn't feel like it went super well either. They didn't give me a feeling either way of how the interview went. Do you research, be ready for anything they throw at you, but really above all be yourself! Good luck.
