What are your general comments?
My interview experience overall was very positive. Since they time the interview, as soon as your time is up, someone knocks on the door. The knock on the door was a bit rattling since I was in the middle of a sentence. The students were honest and answered my questions thoroughly. Overall, I left thinking that Iowa was a good place.
