What are your general comments?
Q & A session with second years to start...answered many questions. The interviews are spaced out blocks apart and I heard other interviewees aggravated about the humidity so all I can say is be prepared for Louisiana weather. (90 degrees on Oct 2) The interviews were more just a conversation, all closed file. Just tell me about yourself sort of questions. They've performed miracles with getting the place up and running again after last year. I went there thinking that my first choice would be LSU-NO because of the Rural Scholars Track program, but this day has made my choice a lot harder. Awesome experience...
