Not sure if they teach about the STAR story method in undergrad, but if you

don't already have several stories ready to use to answer questions that start with "Tell me about a time..." you should get some ready to go.

Also another thing, match their tone. You may get a more "down to business" interview or you may get a very personable and casual interviewer. Either way, try to follow their lead.
