My teacher had us focus on symbolism, because the symbolism is VERY obvious, so it's a good way to help people learn how to recognize and see symbolism in less obvious places.

Yeah, pretty sure this is the main draw. It's short and the characters are basically walking billboards for what they represent. Also, Fitzgerald leaves a lot unsaid (or, to put it less charitably, doesn't do much to develop his characters beyond a surface level), so there's a lot to discuss and debate.
