What are your general comments?

This was a great interview experience. Like other people have said, the interview process, my perception anyway, is design to really get to know you as a person.

Definitely put all of your interpersonal skills out there and get to know the staff, students, and faculty. If you do this I am certain that you'll have a great experience.
