What are your general comments?
I came here sort of borderline about going here. After my interview, I know I'd be heartbroken to not be accepted here. Sure the facilities are new, research opportunities are ample, and the professors are competent but what I really fell in love with were the students and the atmosphere. I just felt at home.
