Great school, great price, everyone here really makes an effort to make you feel welcome and help you with your academics.Almost all class sizes are small (
I am strongly arguing that do not even recommend this school to your enemies. Everything is messed up. College, town, people, etc...literally everything you can think of..Google should've allowed me to rate a negative point. I can guarantee that you'd be better off by studying yourself instead of coming to this living hell.
No Star at all.. They seems don't accept any new patient at all expect who born in Hershey Hospital only- that's non sense and just a business oriented service. Hospital and Medical center's are most important service in peoples life where it seems they don't care except their own business. Harrisburg/Hershey is a very small area. How can they do not have any opening until next 8 months? it seems everybody in central Pennsylvania are sick and getting treatment from here! I would give zero star to them.
Anyways, I wouldn't recommend this school if you're planning on living here. Especially when you can hear everything your roommates are doing at all times, it gets extremely annoying (I've lost so much sleep). The school clearly does not care about nutrition so don't be forced into buying the most expensive meal plan in the US. The academics are the only decent pro here, so if you're a commuter then the school is fine. However , do not come here if you're planning on living here.
Cons- If you live on campus you're forced to buy a meal plan, this meal plan costs over 2000$ extra. The cafeteria food is good, however the crappy, non-nutritious food is extremely cheap and the fruit and other healthy options is 3x the price. Eating healthy is very inefficient here. The campus dorms are very close quarters, most are apartment style with four people in each apartment. This creates many problems because I can hear anything and everything my roommates are doing through the walls.( Yes, everything) I don't party, but there is no partying on campus. The weight room is very small for a school with 3000+ kids. I found myself being forced to go at 7 am otherwise I wouldn't be able to workout properly when it gets as crowded as it does any other time of day. The financial aid office also gave me many problems, I transferred here 4 months ago and they still haven't completed all my student loan paperwork yet. I asked why and they said "it takes a while for processing". 4 months?? They also charged me late fees because of their incompetence to "process" paperwork in time.
Pros- Campus is very nice and kept clean, all of my professors seem to know what they're talking about (and they also all have doctorates), the library is very nice.
