URI or Northeastern : Stronger pharmacy school

[dmbxvii]

Hey everybody, I'm going into pharmacy next year (im a senior) and im kind of stuck on which of these two schools i like the best. this is what i have so far

Northeastern:
- It seems like the CoOp program is a really good idea and helps well with job placement. I can't confirm this though
- Location : heart of boston

URI:
- Spending a LOT of money on a whole new facility and research opportunities
- Nicer campus

I guess it comes down too, which has the better program? With best job placement/etc. Also, if anybody has information on the rigor of the programs at these two school, the "weed out", and student life that would be incredibly helpful as well

Any help would be appreciated! 👍

Both programs are good. I would say job placement rates are the same. Both programs are well established. I think URI is known for sending a large # of students to residency. URI is more of a college campus feel and at NEU you are located in a big city. I don't think either decision would be a bad one. Kind of what you are looking for out of the college experience.

So i guess visiting would be my best option

So what did you think of URI and NEU? If you got accepted to both, which one would you go to? Why?

I've been accepted to the Pharmacy program at URI and USP. If you're currently a pharmacy student at URI, please post your likes and dislikes of the school.
