What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with the southern hospitality at UK. The students all seemed happy. While I was waiting to join the students in their wax-lab after the interviews, a professor passing by just started chatting me up. Very friendly! Lunch was cheap, single-topping pizza. :( The faculty seemed very interested in helping students learn!
