    Probably the best school in all of central PA. Great people, great peers and great environment.

    Went on campus several times to host mock interview and informational sessions and I was blown away…read moreby the beauty of the campus, the great attitude of the students and staff, and it's overall prestige! They do amazing work and the students have a bright future ahead! Make sure you have a map of the campus because it spans several miles all over Hershey!

    I attended Milton Hershey School from 1997 until 2010. I was five when I first arrived at the…read moreschool and eighteen when I left. It's far too complicated to thoroughly review the school, as I feel that it would require a more nuanced approach to truly summarize my experience. I will try my best to provide a high-level overview of the school, while maintaining some level of brevity. The school has undergone many changes since its inception, but there are some consistent elements that warrant being highlighted. The school has always covered the complete cost of food, clothing, housing, schooling, medical, and dental needs for every single child who is admitted. The campus is very large and well maintained. There are three schools on campus; elementary, middle, and high school. There are also health centers, environmental centers, clothing/facility centers, horticulture centers, learning resource centers, medical clinics, dental clinics, and fitness facilities, also all located on the campus. The students at the school reside in student homes that are overseen by houseparents. When I was at the school, there were about twelve students in each home. Each house is provided transportation in the form of a large van suitable for transporting every member of the household. Each home has a kitchen, dining room, recreational room, office, living room, computer room, houseparent apartment, bathrooms, mud room, basketball court, and parking garage. Students in their final year at the school participate in a program called Transitional Living. The objective of this program is to provide some exposure to a college-style version of living. Another intention of the program is to instill some independent living skills in the students and hopefully increase the likelihood of success post graduation. There are various career pathways that high school students can participate in, some of which include, automotive, health occupation, human services, information technology, carpentry, graphic design and business marketing. The career pathways are intended to provide occupational experience prior to college/tech school, which is also paid for by the school. The school changed my life in many ways, for better and worse. I like to weigh out this particular experience with heconsideration to the various opportunities that I was given while attending the school, and from that perspective, I can say that the experience was generally a positive one and likely did more good than harm.
