    Yes, you should wear comfortable shoes, and probably bring along a phone book or at the very least, another jacket.

    Commitment.
    it's basically 9-5 (some days 6pm) depending on timetable and that's just lectures/tutorials/labs plus homework/project deadlines on top of that. It is really tough going!
    (in first year) loads of maths and chemistry. chemistry labs are cool but demanding and attendance compulsory - miss one and the next will be really tough to catch up.(plus having to explain the absence) You do 2 lab exams per semester (chem, bio, phy) and 2 maths plus normal exams. No reading weeks either - faculty staff are A1 and more than willing to help.
    don't know interview format but as i said the staff are all A1
