So I've been told by a few people that CSPM is planning or will be moving out of Oakland, CA and into Walnut Creek, CA. Has anybody else heard of this or know anything about it?

What do you want to know about it? I know of some great places to live NEAR there, that are still nice, but much cheaper. PM me if you want to know more details. I can give you some good info.
Uh.... The OP was suggesting he/she heard the school was moving? I'm not sure what that has to do with living?
New university may set up shop in Walnut Creek
Samuel Merritt University, the health sciences institution, with a main campus in Oakland may be coming to Walnut Creek.
The college, widely known for its nursing programs, wants to convert the three-story building at 590 Ygnacio Valley Road into a site for the university. To go into the 56,000-square-foot building, the university will must get a conditional use permit to operate a college from the city's Planning Commission. That hearing will take place at 7 p.m. May, 10 City Hall, 1666 N. Main St.
The Walnut Creek site would be the university's sixth campus and the first in Contra Costa County.
Actually there is a very high possibility that CSPM will move to WC. There is going to be a new pharmacy school opening up. The Pharmacy school is seeing whether or not they will get the Walnut Creek building or move into the Oakland campus. The problem with the WC building is that it is too big for just 1 pharmacy program; therefore, they would need to move a program to share the building with the pharmacy school. The program that they will move is the Podiatry program. If this change were to occur I believe it would happen 2013-14 school year.
I mean, that seems like reasonable info... I don't know where jellybean got the nursing program idea from, but there is evidence that SM is looking at a new location (should have had the hearing yesterday...), and it very well could hold the DPM degree....
First year student, there was an announcement made in class.
Pharm school
And what committee are you a part of that gives you access to this information?
Let me get this straight. You are asking this smart a** question to a current student, when you are only a pre-pod who's experience with CSPM consists of information you got during an interview day?

I'm still mad at CSPM. I filled out their post application survey after I declined to interview because they offered a free 10 dollar gift card... Never got it... Those evil people!
Why is there always so much contempt for pre-pods on these forums??
I would say that nearly every thread on SDN has some type of smart remark or two... It's just how these operate. None of us knows if he is actually a current student or is lying or what. We just want info and facts to back the info up. I could make an account tomorrow saying im the dean of one of the pod schools and I could post as that individual for months. If I said "my" school was moving, would people take me at face value and not question or ask for supporting evidence.
It's a sad day when skepticism is criticized.
Announcement that it will happen if the pharm program gets placed there or may happen if the program is placed there?
Did you really just compare an unidentified new SDN poster (who turned out to be a pod student) being asked to identify himself with an attending physician being disrespected?
I see that you are part of the class of CSPM 16. I realize that CSPM is not mentioned on here very often. If you have any questions regarding the school I will try my best to answer it.
In a way. Of course they are different, but habits like that are hard to break. It's a lot like the student who says that they will do better once clinic rolls around after getting poor grades for 2 years because they are lazy. Well guess what? They are generally still lazy in and outside of clinic. Sure, they may do a good job during the 5 minutes of interaction with the patient, but they don't have a differential, can't decide on a proper treatment protocol because they are still lazy and just don't have the correct study habits to keep up with all of the information.
I know a lot of you think you are anonymous, and until you get to school you probably are. But pretty soon most of the posters on here will be able to find out who's behind the s/n. So don't be a smart a**, the people you are rubbing the wrong way may be residents or attendings at the program you want to go to. If the last couple months have taught us anything its that some residents will create profiles just to come on here and call out the student who they perceived as bad mouthing their program.

So in class they didn't even mention the pod school moving?! Just about the pharm school?!?
The OP must be dying of laughter right now...
