What impressed you negatively?

"From previous visits to the school, I found that the library is TRULY very small; mostly just some computers. Also, seems like this school is definitely not for every type of person. They also gave me the impression that they are crystal clear as to what type of students they are looking for, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. Also, there didn't appear to be laboratory research opportunities, like the other school I visited had. So if you're later looking to go into industry, you might want to look elsewhere. However, they do seem to be very community-minded. So if you're looking to work in a community pharmacy after graduation, then this place seems like a good fit for you. The dorms looked pretty nice, but expensive. Unfortunately, they do not offer a meal plan or have a dining hall. Overall, a good school. But I have to agree with everyone else in saying that the location absolutely sucks. Right in the middle of downtown Worcester with apprently not much to do in the actual school (don't know about the city though). " Report Response
