What are your general comments?
Found it funny to hear that the even classes (hopefully us 2014 follow through) are friendly where as the odd classes aren't. I was kinda of let down by the fact many of the people interviewing with me were so quiet and reserved. I don't know if it was their only interview and got nervous but it wasn't certainly the case for half of the interviewer.
