I got few PMs. Here is some useful info about our school to clear confusions.
THE DATA SEEMS TO BE FROM LAST YEAR CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR MORE RECENT INFORMATION.
DESCRIPTION
Pacific University was founded in 1849 by Congregational pioneers, serving for many years as a home for orphans of the Oregon Trail.
Pacific University has the distinction of being the second oldest university west of the Mississippi River.
The University is located at the base of the beautiful coastal mountain range on 55 acres in downtown Forest Grove, a small community approximately 24 miles west of Portland. Students participate in a variety of student organizations and professional fraternities. Student government coordinates student organization activities, ensure student input in School decisions, and promote professionalism.
Entering students agree to abide by the School�s Pledge of Professionalism,
Code of Ethics, and other school policies governing professional and academic behavior.
The mission of the School of Pharmacy is to provide an educational environment that values excellence in teaching, learning and research, preparing students to provide competent, ethical and compassionate patient centered pharmaceutical care to a diverse population in a changing healthcare environment.
The School is dedicated to exemplary student-centered education, fostering scholarship, teamwork, professionalism, service, and high ethical standards with a focus on integration of knowledge, cultural competence, and critical thinking.
The mission of the School of Pharmacy is compatible with the mission of Pacific University and has the full support and approval of the administration as well as the Board of Trustees.
CURRICULUM
The School of Pharmacy offers a 3-year professional curriculum leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
The curriculum is composed of two didactic years followed by one clinical clerkship year. During the first two academic years, students will spendone day every other week in a patient care pharmacy setting gaining experience that supports the classroom material.
The curriculum is based on a modified-block design that allows the sequential delivery of courses rather than the more traditional method of teaching multiple courses concurrently. Students are not assigned letter grades in the curriculum but are instead assigned either a �pass� or �no-pass� based on achievement of 90% of stated competencies.
Students are assessed every two weeks during the first 2 years of the curriculum. Students who do not achieve the necessary level of competence are given opportunities for extended learning. Extended learning opportunities follow each assessment and during a dedicated period in the summer.
The curriculum places an emphasis on integration of knowledge, critical thinking, and utilization of evidence based principles.

I think I might stay there too, but not sure yet if I will walk or take a taxi (I'm not so sure about walking even for 10min in high heels hehe). But I'm definitely excited to meet some of you guys in the upcoming weeks on the interview day.
