What impressed you positively?

The hospitality of the faculty and staff. The pride that they feel for their institution.

What impressed you negatively?

Location of the school. It is surrounded by dairy farms and hicks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewers had not read my file. (they were supposed to, but neither had. They appologized)

What are your general comments?

The school is in the middle of NOWHERE. Hershey is a pretty strange place, and there is absolutely NOTHING to do around the campus (I mean NOTHING.) The day was very well planned, they are on time for everything and well prepared generally (except my interviewers who hadn't opened my file.) The lunch was with M2's and M3's and was very helpful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
