Hi!
I currently go to Shenandoah School of Pharmacy. The highlight of the program is that we have a small teacher to student ratio, with about 4 students per teacher. Most of the teachers are very friendly towards their students, taking time out of their busy schedules to help students with problems and talk about a number of things. You are a person to them, not a number, and can help you achieve your goals. Shenandoah has a wide variety of professors that specialize in a variety of fields, which helps to give you extra details needed as a pharmacist. From my research, Shenandoah does compete with most private schools, but I can't lie that it is a bit expensive around $35,000. In addition to good academics, the school does offer a number of opportunities to get involved with a number of student organizations that extend out into the community. You said you were accepted into the Ashburn campus, and I know that the building is quite nice and better equipped for studying. However, most events and live lectures take place on the main campus in Winchester, so involved people and those who like live lectures may not enjoy that feature. If there are any further questions, please let me know.
