What are your general comments?

"My interview was at 9 am. parking around that time was easy and cheap. If you park on the streets it's only 25 cents for 1 hour (and the meter takes dimes and nickels) so don't park in the parking structure which is $6 or $8. the building was easy to find and they served us coffee, water, and hot chocolate. Then you get to chill and talk to other fellow interviewees and current students. An orientation is given by Jim who is so funny and charismatic. He really calms you down. Then students come in to take you to your interview room which is upstairs in the faculty offices. After the interview is the essay portion which is just to summarize an article. 4 students then come in for q&a. You can then leave or stick around to ask the students more questions."
