<p>Don’t base your entire decision on an interview. I’d say the best way to learn more about either school is to actually visit the campus, sit in on some classes, meet some students, and professors, etc. It helped me a lot. Alums and students are NOT the same type of people. I’m a freshman at Caltech, and I don’t think any of the people here will be indifferent to you, and we’re far from dull. And don’t worry, you’ll fit in easily if you’re “as crazy as we are.”</p>
