What are your general comments?
Interview was good, but it seemed the student experience was not good. I had a chance to sit with some students while getting lunch. The students said they wish they would have attended another pharmacy school. I also learned that the school doesn't care too much about student affairs once you've paid the tuition. They don't have student activities and services. I was also told the school is not organized and that professors are not available for office hours and that students have to go through heck of getting help during office hours. I was also told that some students actually experienced nervous breakdowns b/c of the amount of work given. I suggest students talk to other students to get an idea of the school when they go on interviews.
