What are your general comments?

Overall, I was somewhat disappointed. Logistically, it is probably hard to accomodate a large number of candidates, but I thought the structure of the day could be re-worked. Also, only high-sugar and high-caffeine beverages were available, so it was extremely hard to relax during the downtime. I wish I had gone to the OSU vs USC football game...:(
