What impressed you positively?

The faculty: their knowledge and passion for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. North Campus is very safe...Amherst is one of the safest communities in America. South Campus is a different story....

What impressed you negatively?

The current pharmacy school facilities are below average. However, they are building a new school, to be opened by 2010.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was a pleasant experience. Stress level was very low. Faculty are the most enthusiastic and friendly staff I've met. The school is really focused on the research side pharmacy...and if you want to do research, this is one of the places to go (NIH funds them pretty well).
