Are you waiting for a child to
arrive at your house and tell you he has found a golden ticket for a trip to a chocolate factory?

Alt: What have you learnt from your last PhD interview?

I'm not, but that would surely brighten my day
that said, Cadbury World is only about 10 minutes away and it's meant to be very dull.
I have learnt that being nervous is ridiculous, and also that I should know that answers to obvious questions.

In which case.
Approach the interview full of confidence.

I can't, I suffer dreadfully from nervousness in exams and interviews and stuff like that
but I will try to relax a bit more this time.

It is a two way process though.
If you think the labs and facilities are shit, voice your concerns, ask what investment is being made. Make them feel like they'd be lucky to have you.
