how strange the interview was.

What are your general comments?

the interview is rapid fire, read from a list, and interview doesn't interact with you at all. Not the most pleasant experience. The city seems like a complete undergrad party town. I'm sure you could get away from that but i'm already from a small town, have no desire to live in another one. This is one place i had really high up on my list until the interview.
