What are your general comments?

"The interview at PSU was very promising. The students really like the school and there does not exist a cutthroat atmosphere at all. The facilities are nice and the location is persect of you are from a small city atmosphere. PSU is my top choice so far. There was potential for my interview to be nerve racking judging by the questions I was asked below, but I seemed to luck out because I had reviewed many of those things the night before and had a good answer prepared for each of them. Besides, when I was asked these questions, i basically got 3 words out before my interviewer basically answered the question for me, not too sure what to take of this but oh well. PSU regardless is a very good school and I would be happy to spend 4 years there. " Report Response
