How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, ethics questions, previous interviewee

What impressed you positively?

how cheap the rent, parking stress free, how much the students like it there.

What impressed you negatively?

so cold comparing to where I'm from, how expensive the trip was...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

if you have a student host, make sure you show up early because the building closes after 6 and you will not able to come it

What are your general comments?

I stayed with a student host, which was very nice and money-saving. One interviewer was pretty tough and one was very pleasant. Like previous poses, a lot of ethics questions come to play, so be prepared.
