What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous and the student are really nice. Great place to live in.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is not yet built, it will be completed in 2007. They seem more focus on their medical program than their pharmacy program, they kept on talking about they how great their medical school is and how pharmacy students are lucky to be able to take classes with med-students. They are really judgmental and they attack you during your interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

It was not a very fun interview. The two people that interviewed me was both pharmacists and they like to push your button. They are cruel and not friendly at all. They turn everything you say into a negative thing. The school of pharmacy is way too small and they seem more focus on their medical school. Great campus though and great place to live.
