Hello Guys! Congratulations! All the accepted folks have accomplished something remarkable, it might not feel so, but getting into Pharmacy School is quite hard. For those who did not hear back, don't give up. They like persistence.
I'm a 3rd year student getting ready to start rotations, and I will try to give some advices that might be pertinent to those who aren't familiar with the area (Pullman).
Living wise, try to go with Summerhills apartments(Company name, but they run multiple apartments complexes...Meadow brooks...etc etc.) They are not extremely nice apartments, but they are honest people. If you take decent care of the place, you will get all your deposits back. Moreover, it is right next to the Zuu, where they have 3$ wings on wednesdays, those are always fun 🙂. Even better, you are among the first ones to get picked up at a bus stop. If you live lower in the lower part (Church hill downs, Emeralds downs) most likely, you will have to walk to school when it snows hard, as you will be the last ones to get picked up in that bus loop.
I have a problem with (Church hill downs, Emeralds downs...etc) and anything that are operate by Dabco Management. The apartments are nicer, but even if you are a neat freak, chances of getting your full deposit back are slim.( They require you to take down the curtains and professionally dry clean it...it's bullsh*t, really).
WSU College of Pharmacy is a really great program. The professors are the best that I've encountered in my lifetime (I went to the University of Washington as an undergrad, and I never once spoke to any professors...probably because I was busy sleeping). They are extremely knowledgeable and down to earth, as you will find that most of them care about your learning, and likely view you as colleagues, rather than students. On that note, contribute as much as you can, learn as much as you can, get involve in organizations and advance the profession.
I know it's lengthy and vague in a sense, but ask any questions that you may have. Again, congratulations!
