We have a diverse group of students that
come from all over the world.

There's really something for everybody here at Hershey.
I think the benefits of choosing Penn State College of Medicine
include personalized attention and small class sizes,
the connection with the hospital.
It's not in a big city so it's affordable living.
The College of Medicine is located
in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
But even though it's a small town,
there's really a lot going on here.
It's a nice town.
It's safe.
We're also very close to Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
York.
And it smells like chocolate.
I really wanted to come to Penn State.
I only applied to two schools, to be honest.
I took that risk.
I was like, OK, it has to be Penn State or nothing.
I really love it.
I think the biggest thing that draws students here
is just the fact that we're situated on a clinical campus.
And the ability not only to do bench talk research
but to take those findings to the bedside
is of paramount importance.
That's a big advantage of having a college of medicine
with a medical center.
I actually make it a point every morning
to walk through the hospital.
It kind of reminds me of why I'm here and what I'm doing
is important.
Besides just being at the College of Medicine,
we have a strong connection, of course,
because we're part of Penn State University.
They make it really easy to go back and forth to main campus
if you have any collaborator there or anything like that.
We have a shuttle that runs between the two
campuses every day.
It's a small town with a reach of Penn State
still, so it's nice.
Hi, Bobby.
Hi, Dr. Wong.
Here at Penn State Hershey, the faculty are available to us
pretty much 24/7.
The students get a lot of one-on-one
mentoring and advising.
And we think that's one of the strengths of the College
of Medicine's programs.
We're able to really connect with faculty
on an individual level.
I think the students feel a close kinship
and camaraderie, esprit de corps, with each other.
Everybody smile.
It's really nice to be in an environment
where people are here to help you.
Students help each other.
You don't have labs that are shut off
on one from one another.
I saw that when I came here.
You didn't see that in many other places.
That spirit of collaboration is very, very strong at Hershey.
I think that's really good.
We have a great passion for the science and research that we
do, and we want to bring along the next generation
of scientists to release them into the world
and let them do great things.
We don't pigeonhole students into any career track.
We help them to achieve the goals that they
would like to achieve.
The students are so brilliant and motivated to do
great things in science.
It's a wonderful experience to really develop a student
to their fullest potential.
Hey, I've found someone who wants
to see research in action.
A student should consider Penn State College of Medicine
because of the focused attention from the professors,
the connection with the clinical side of research,
and I think Hershey's a great city to live in.
For me, personally, I think it's a friendly environment
in which I can thrive.
And any student that shares the same idea,
I think this is the best place for them.

So if you're the kind of person that's self-motivated,
that wants to do good research, get a PhD,
make some great connections along the way,
if that's what you want, this is the place for you.
Come join us at Hershey.
We'd love to have you.
