What are your general comments?

The location, facility, staff, and students are all very impressive. My first interviewer was really laid back and wonderful - did not feel like an interview, more of like a conversation. My second interviewer was still nice, but it felt like an interview. No ethical questions and both were really interested in my extra-curricular activities during college.
