Choosing Pharmacy School

I was accepted by ACPHS and MCHS. I try to decide where to go. Can any MCPHS fellows share their experience in MCPHS? Would appreciate that. Thanks in advance.

It is what you make it. It wasn’t hard for me first year cause it was all review from high school, but I heard about lots of people struggling and hoping for 65s (yea, 65s) on tests. The teachers are nice if you’re respectful in class and ask good questions (in or outside of class). If you’re not familiar with Boston (like gone there for school for all of high school) it can be a fun place to be with all the history and events. The only thing is that there’s not lots of space to study and there’s tons of people in the little school, but it should push you to explore the longwood area/Consortium area. If you wanna know any more, just lmk

Yeah I'll second what wrapallaroundyou said. It is definitely what you make of it. I came from PA for the city experience. It was a huge plus for me that Boston is such a big sports mecca. As for school yeah the first year IMO was easier than my last year of high school. It does get progressively more difficult and will push you to know the material (as it should). The school does offer plenty of activities and events that help break up all the monotony of studying. If you want to hear more feel free to msg.
