What are your general comments?

they just raised tuition for this year. Its getting very expensive. I know pharmacists make good money but they don't make that much after all the taxes. Foreign pharmacists and pill-counting machines are killing the jobs. I'd rather go to inexpensive school with real campus. The city looks unsafe.
