What are your general comments?

"overall pretty low-key. the day starts late, at 11 am and i thought it was sort of annoying that you have to listen to all the presentations and do the tour before the interviews without even a bathroom break. also, the food for the lunch sucks so either eat a big breakfast or look forward to a good early dinner afterwards."
