What are your general comments?

The over all expereince was good, faculity were nice and welcome. PBL is not as bad as people talked. It will work on some people, if they like to facing challanges and very self-motivating. The only concern is the cost of attending. One night spent at USC, which was not really good neighborhood. Its surrounding is really crapy and unsafe.
