What are your general comments?

Wow, do they interview in packs. I think they have one interview per week so about thirty of us were in attendance. The light lunch in the boardroom is packed and feels so formal. It definitely feels like the first of many such meetings with wrapped sandwiches and bags of lays potato chips we'll see in our careers. The day was loaded with impressive speeches by students and members of the faculty that really made me excited about the school. The tour left a little to be desired, but the interviews were both very relaxed. There were no real difficult questions. I liked Jeff a lot and I think I could be happy there. The price tag is a little rough though, but how can you beat its location in philly.
