Is pharmacy school hard? I know that nothing is easy, but it is extremely hard ?
I am not doing excellent as a pre-pharmacy student right now, and I am concern about the difficulty of pharmacy school.
 
I haven't started pharmacy school yet but for what I know at UOP, students would in enroll in about 15-18 units per semester. Now compare that to medical school, where they get a whole year's worth in one semester (24-30 units per semester). 😀

No, it's not hard. But, it is time consuming. You can't just go by number of credit hours. I have a 2 credit hour course that has 4 hours of lecture each week.

To put it in perspective, my last semester of undergrad, I took 21 credit hours -- all sciences with labs. Pharmacy school takes much more of my time than that semester.

I've heard that year two is extremely difficult, though.
