What are your general comments?

A really good overall experience. I wasn't expecting much from UCD, but after the interview day it was at the top of my list. The student interviewer was great, he seemed like someone I would go grab a beer with. The people here are great. My faculty interview was probably the toughest I've had, but he did such a great job to make it unstressful.
