What impressed you positively?
The students are really nice. One of my two interviewers treated me like a colleague already, which was what the students said of many of their professors. It's cheap to live there, there is a photography exhibit in the hospital that is pretty cool, and the hospital is a level 1 trauma center.

There were two faculty interviews. One of them went extremely well, so when the second one didn't turn out quite as well, I didn't get too worried. Both interviewers asked if I had any questions for them.
