I've been to all three cities and personally I like Atlanta the best. Where do you eventually want to practice? Each school will teach you the laws of their state. All 3 schools will give you a good education and you'll get your PharmD, so it just comes down to your personal feelings.

I think mercer would be a better choice....its a good school and i personally liked their curriculum...but eventually it boils down to what you want out of Pharmacy school...if i was you...i would pick mercer...and my second pick would be UMD...but thats wat i think....

You'll have to study California law on your own, because they won't teach it to you in Maryland. Otherwise you won't pass the California Juris Prudence exam. I don't know about you, but once I'm done with school I don't want to have to learn any extra material.
