SDN, school site

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of all the staff, interviewers, and students. Also, the school was connected with the hospital.

What impressed you negatively?

The town of Hershey was extremely small. Greyhound nor Amtrak had stops there, and there wasn't even a cab company there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The school of medicine with the hospital together was extremely different from the town of Hershey outside. It looked modern and extremely large. The interviewers as well as admissions staff and students were really friendly and helpful. However, the town of Hershey was really in the middle of nowhere. The interviewers were both really really nice, and it was more of a chat than a formal question-answer interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
