ConfigurationErrorException in trying to run console app with MySQL Entity Framework 6

I am trying to learn how to use Entity Framework 6 with MySQL. Since I already have an existing database, I am following the Model First approach. However, I am always faced with this error message that is vaguely helpful.

The error triggers in this line of code in Program.cs:

List<Student> students = dbContext.Students.ToList();

The error message just says:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException' occurred in System.Configuration.dll Additional information: Unrecognized attribute 'name'.

My first assumption is that there is something wrong with my App.config file. However, I don't know which name attribute in the App.config file it was talking about. I tried searching for existing answers or possible solutions to no avail so I decided to post my problem hoping for you guys to help me.

What I am using:

• Visual Studio 2013 (Installed in my PC)
• MySQL Server 5.6 (Installed in my PC)
• Entity Framework 6.1.1 (Installed in my project through NuGet Package Manager)
• MySql.ConnectorNET.Data 6.8.3.2 (Installed in my project through NuGet Package Manager)
• MySql.ConnectorNet.Entity 6.8.3.2 (Installed in my project through NuGet Package Manager)

What steps I did:

1. Created a new console app
2. Installed Entity Framework, MySql.ConnectorNET.Data, and MySql.ConnectorNet.Entity into the project through NuGet Package Manager
3. Added an ADO.Net Entity Data Model named DSWS_Model using my existing database
4. Entered some simple code that iterates and prints the list of students into the console
5. RUN
6. Then stupid runtime error shows up

Program.cs

namespace MySQLEntityFramework6
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Start?");
            Console.ReadLine();
            try
            {
                using (dswsEntities dbContext = new dswsEntities())
                {
                    List<Student> students = dbContext.Students.ToList();
                    foreach (Student student in students)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(student.name);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ExceptionUtility.LogException(ex);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

DSWS_Model.Context.cs

namespace MySQLEntityFramework6
{
    using System;
    using System.Data.Entity;
    using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;

    public partial class dswsEntities : DbContext
    {
        public dswsEntities()
            : base("name=dswsEntities")
        {
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            throw new UnintentionalCodeFirstException();
        }

        public virtual DbSet<Administrator> Administrators { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<BuildingSetting> BuildingSettings { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Evaluation> Evaluations { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<LockerReservation> LockerReservations { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Locker> Lockers { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<LoginQueue> LoginQueues { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
    }
}
