Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed this experience. I felt a little stress during the interview, but I think that was because it was my first one. I got a great feeling from the current students, and I really feel like I could do well at UHS. If you are going to be here for a couple of days, go to the plaza and crown center. I recommend staying at 1 of the 3 hotels that the school offers a shuttle service to. One of the other applicants just booked a room online, and he got lost trying to find the school.
