What are your general comments?

"Overall it was very impressive. The slideshow at the beginning of the day (I started at 1030) was very informative and very well done. The tour was given by a very friendly old man. I had my interviews in the afternoon. The first one was at 230. The second one was going to be at 330 but I asked for it to be pushed forward so I could catch my 445 train out of Harrisburg. They were really nice about switching the interviews around for me. The first interviewer was very pleasant and very welcoming of questions. The first 20 minutes were all just me asking questions about living in Hershey, music, his research etc. it was more like I was interviewing him than him me. The second guy was also really friendly although he asked me more questions, like those listed below." Report Response
