The tour was too brief and conducted in a large group.

That the day would be virtually stress free.
What are your general comments?
Don't stress about this for a minute. The interview questions are obviously very important, but at least in my case, they were presented in such a way that you could not be anything but yourself. The interview was conversational, almost disarming. Great day overall, it will probably move Penn State up on your list.
