The best thing about my PharmD program is the "block" schedule, which allows me to focus on one or two courses at a time. This type of course scheduling gives me the opportunity to review and absorb the material at a much steadier pace as opposed to being overwhelmed with the stress that comes along with taking four or five courses at a time. I chose to come to WesternU primarily because I feel that this university provides

students with a welcoming and friendly environment. The faculty, staff, and students provide a sense of "family" which makes you feel right at home. It's nice to know that you can count on everyone here when in need of a helping hand. Students of all ethnicities attend this university which allows for more diversity and individuality. It's a learning experience which gives you the opportunity to create lasting friendships, gain a better understanding of the pharmacy profession, and allows you to meet other professionals with whom you can network with.
