i stayed with a student host and she was really helpful. she picked me up from the metrolink station and we went to dinner together. she had a guest room with bathroom so i stayed there the night before and i went to her first class with her to kill time before the tour and lunch. my interview was after the lunch so i was a little nervous. the tour was given by a fourth year and so it was realy thorough! one of the student said that you could almost get free food everyday...they were giving out free cookies to the students the day i was there (the prof was announcing it like 5 times during lecture)
