Distance between pharmacy school and permanent home address

I heard an interesting tidbit from a Noel-Levitz education consultant this morning: only 13% of undergraduates will travel more than 500 miles from his/her home to go to college.

I was wondering if this percentage held up when applied to individuals attending pharmacy school. SDN: Did the pharmacy program you attended/currently attend fall inside or outside of a 500 mile radius of your permanent home address?

I'll start us off: my pharmacy school was less than 20 miles from my home.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

263 miles. Wish it was closer for sure, and I wouldn't go to one 500+ miles away unless it was the only school I could get into.

Mine was about 90ish miles from home.

My permanent home is where I go. Five miles to campus.

Pharmacy school is 100 miles from my alma mater.

I wish I would have gone out of state for undergrad. If only I could go back in time....

 

[owlegrad]

Much less than 500 miles.

 

[Digsbe]

Mine is about 15 miles away for me. I live at home with my family to save money on living expenses.

During my 2 interviews at Pharm. Schools on the East Coast, I ran into at least 10 interviewees that were from the West Coast.

I will be at roughly 45 miles.

1 & 1/2 hours down the interstate. But going from farm land to beautiful beaches!

 

[xiphoid2010]

3 hours down the interstate. But my undergrad was 2000 miles away, so meh. For a good school, I wouldn't let distance be a significant factor.

 

[WVUPharm2007]

114 Miles.

The community college I went to for the first 2 years was 4.9 miles away from my house.

Mine is about 1/2 mile away from my house. Too bad I live on top of a hill and the school is at the top of another, otherwise I'd be walking everyday

So 1/4 mile walk up a hill? Harrowing ...

I'd take 1/4 mile up a hill over 1/4 mile to the bus stop through the barrio. 😛

Back in my day we had to walk to school....Up hill both ways!

I learned very quickly from the feds that "permanent address" is slang for "mailing address".
