What impressed you negatively?

"i only spent the day in hershey so i can't say a whole lot about it, but from what i did see, it seems like it's pretty secluded and maybe a little dull. however, the students that we ate lunch with really tried to dispel that notion saying that hershey is actually pretty touristy (b/c of the chocolate and all that noise), it's close to harrisburg and the airport, it's only an hour away from philly, and they encourage students to complete some rotations off-site (in cites across the world).
