What are your general comments?
Overall, it was a great day. My interview was over at 3, but I actually stayed until close to 4 just hanging out with the other interviewees. I wish Rochester were in a different location, because it has everything I'm looking for. The day was well-organized, and it's obvious that the students there are really happy.
