Does anyone have any info of the LECOM pharmacy campus in Florida? Or if there is even a LECOM pharmacy campus is florida?

I first heard about a new LECOM branch campus in Bradenton Florida through my health careers advising office at UCF. 2007 will be the 1st year open & according to Pharmcas they will be taking 78 people. You still apply through Pharmcas to LECOM. It's not a 3 year program like the main campus in Lake Erie, it's a 4 year satelite program.
Lecom's website is: http://www.lecom.edu/pharm/

Where do you live? Are you in Florida?
If your not familiar with this area, Bradenton, Florida is gorgeous. The campus is in a really nice, clean area. It would be a great place to live.

Which school, Lecom or PBA? Both were talked about in this thread.

If your talking about PBA, it is a Christian based school. So there is a religious presence, if you can't or don't want to hear about it then this school might deter you. Once you pass through orientation, I would say its almost bussiness as usual as probably any other school. You do have a chapel and community service requirement.

Sound like fun to me. How many hours of community service do you have to do? Is chapel just going to church on Sunday as usual or do you have specific religion classes to take?
