"The town is SO small, and not close to anything. The students did not seem overly enthusiastic about the program. I did not like the program director; his humor did not sit well with me. The facilities are not that nice. The student who gave the tour skipped a bunch of stuff and kept saying bad things about the program." Report Response
"Not to stay with a student host. She made sure I knew I was in her way. Also how small the town was. Hershey is damn small." Report Response
"The first day we got together with everyone and went on a tour and had dinner, then went out to a local bar. That was pretty fun, but we were not quite in the social mood since we hadn't had our interviews yet. The next day we met with the program director and had our interviews. For lunch we had a 6th year do a presentation of her research. The day was over by 2:30pm." Report Response
