What are your general comments?

"Very relaxed. Student tour for 30 minutes. The facilities were fine, nothing great or terrible. The neighborhood isn't that bad, there is just nothing to do in the close vicinity. The admissions office does a good job of pairing you with a doctor in a similar field to your interests/experience (I work in a myeloma research lab and was interviewed by a hem/onc phd).
