What impressed you positively?

The school is branching out into research and industry making the school well rounded and not only about community or clinical based pharmacy.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Students that were present seemed stand-offish during the interview orientation day. Although it is a mixed environment with international students, language shouldn't be a barrier. I definitely felt as though the students did not try to "sell" their school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, nothing surprising or out of the blue.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Western U is an established school that is still trying to be innovative and definitely emphasizes a lot of pumping out successful pharmacist. The surrounding area is slightly "ghetto" and not aesthetically appealing. There seems to be many apartments that are super close to the school, basically across the street. Many homeless people in the area. The nicest thing near the school was the Starbucks but you still needed a passcode to use the restroom, which is shocking to me...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

E-mail response times need to be improved. I did send some e-mails regarding basic questions which were not answered at all.
