What are your general comments?
I LOVE VCOM. I came away from the day with a positive outlook. The staff are so excited to be there and to have you there. The interviews were not stressfull. One question was off the wall (see above)but they just wanted to get to know you. Lunch was good. The tour of the campus and of the area was very nice. I have never been to an interview where they take you on a tour of the campus. That was awesome. Just relax and have fun.
