Presentation Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty standard interview process with an online interview followed by a campus visit. Communication was clear and everyone I met, both faculty and staff, were friendly. Just a heads-up, Eindhoven is a really busy city, so finding a place to live can be tough because of limited availability and high prices.
