I did some research and found that the on campus housing plan does NOT come with a meal plan. So everyone on campus just pays cash for what they buy in the cafeteria? :( Is on campus food cheap?

Btw, for on campus housing are the rooms all considered singles? Bc when I was assigned an on campus room as an undergrad, I lived with two other ppl in my room (a triple).

No, I believe you get physically separate rooms for two bedroom apartments. There's a kitchen in your apartment so you can always just cook instead of buying food at the cafeteria. I don't recall the cafeteria food tasting that awesome on my interview day..

Hi everyone, I just received a letter via snail mail saying I'm on the waitlist. :( Do you guys know how many students are usually pulled off from the waitlist?

Maybe they were talking about orientation as the start of the program (May 29-30)

Yeah first day of orientation is May 28th I believe? Which pretty much is close to the actual first day of school (June 1st or something like that)

That means after I graduate, i'll get two weeks of summmer wooo hooo

Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist and how they decide who to pull off it since it's not ranked?

ok we are about two months away from the start how are you guys looking for places to live, most places i have called in the past month have said it is too far out to know for sure.. and how, if you are, are you guys looking for roommates?

also what is the etiquette of quitting my job, i work as a microbiologist( pretty much a lab tech with a fancy title lol) and i have heard from coworkers that if i put a 2 week notice ill be fired on the spot, so it seems there is no way to leave on good terms. what would you guys do in this situation?

Hi!

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in getting acquainted prior to orientation? I am moving out to Phoenix from Boston and don't know anyone in the area. It would be nice to start school with a familiar face or two. Is anyone else in the same boat? PM me if you might be interested.

Thanks!
Jess

How long did it take for you to hear back? I am currently on the alternative list and interviewed on 3/18.


Is anyone going to live on campus?

Put in your 2 weeks notice when it is time. If they fire you, then you worked there 2 weeks less than what you had anticipated. There is nothing you can do, but the bright side is that you are going to pharmacy school in another state, so you wouldn't being staying on the job anyways.

I interviewed on 3/11 and haven't received anything yet, so I called the admissions office today and they told me my application was on hold (for no specific reason because I'm not missing LORs or anything)...has anyone had a similar experience or know what that means?? Thanks!

Hi, i checked out 5-6 apartments a couple weeks ago, including san lagos/prado. I didnt like it there too much plus it was really overpriced. I signed a lease for a much better price (750/month for 950 sq feet) at Adobe Ridge apartments. Its only 3 miles away and takes about 5 min to get to school. Check it out in case you want more options!

Yes its a 1 room. The only apartments they had at San Lagos for May were $900+ for 750 sq ft, and the interior was meh IMO. But i guess its nice to live literally across the street from school.

Between Touro University in California and Midwestern, which one would be a better school academic-wise? I heard Touro's campus/location is bad so I already know that. Any feedback would be nice.

Go to mwu. Much better. Vallejo sucks. But it is close to sf. So you can decide.

It's only overpriced if you let them rip you off :D

I'm living at San Lagos in a 2bd/2bth 1056 sq ft apt and paying $805/mo. :p

You kinda have to negotiate with them, and it also depends on the availability of the place since it's so popular with the students. Good luck!

I wouldn't base your choice off of school ranking because that is just based on how much public funding schools get and whatnot. Take the passing of the NAPLEX/law exams into account. I believe our school is at 97-98% off the first time around for the NAPLEX from what I can remember, though this year's graduates stats haven't been posted. Not sure what Tuoro's stats are but I'd say the cost of living at MWU is cheaper and you get to be in school for a year less which allows you to earn a 6 figure income for a year more ;)

Found out Saturday that I was accepted from the waitlist! I got into other schools but Midwestern is my first choice! Anyone know if there is a Facebook page or anything to get acquainted with others before orientation?

For MWU students who have lived on campus, what does your room come with? Closet, several cabinets (?), desk... they don't give me any information about what the apartment comes with except fridge, oven, and stove.

Also, is there a janitor that comes to clean your bathrooms? I had a cleaning lady that came in my undergraduate dorms back then.

Is there anything P2 or P3 students would advise or incoming freshman regarding book purchasing, studying, professors, or clubs? I remember thinking if I had known many other things as an undergraduate, I would've been prepared a greater deal.
