What are your general comments?

I got their at 8 am for the optional tour. We had 1st years come talk to us a bit about their experiences at 9 am. The Dean then came in and we had an ice breaker. Then financial aid and housing spoke to us. It was very comprehensive. We had a delicious lunch starting around 11:30 am. Then my student interviewer came by at 12 pm. I was done with that interview by around 12:30 pm. Then hung around until my faculty interviewer started. The day was over by about 2 pm. Loved it!!!!
