What are your general comments?
the good feel at hershey was a wonderful surprise. this was the first time where i truly enjoyed both the interview group and the med students we interacted with. everyone was pretty relaxed and just excited about medicine. wish we could've sat in on a lecture, but no big deal. everyone was very friendly and helpful. make sure to get there early as it can be confusing to find your way around such a huge place.
