What are your general comments?
Arrived in the morning and was shuffled to a conference room where the Dean gave us a presentation of the school and did a small PBL exercise. It was fun and a good taste of PBL, not difficult. Then we get put in a room and have interviews with people (little disorganized). Lunch and tour with students, then Q&A with the Dean of student affairs at the end.
Not a bad day, tour was nice. People are friendly.
