What are your general comments?
Overall I think things went relatively well. I buzzed through the first 4 standardized questions in 10 minutes, but luckily they kept asking me more informal follow up questions so the interview still ended up lasting the 25-30 minutes. All the faculty, staff and students I interviewed with were super nice and low key.
