USC School of Pharmacy

School is right next to LA-​USC County Hospital. It’s such a great school. You learn so much. Faculty are very nice to show you around lab and school. What’s great is that you can do your externship next door. I love it here. Best in the nation.

Outstanding school. Great reputation, distinguished professors, high rankings in academic performance, ranks 2^nd in NIH research funding among the nations pharmacy schools and boasts a very large and successful alumni network. The health science campus in Boyle Heights serves the health needs of Los Angeles on a daily basis– County Hospital, Women’s and Children’s Hospital, L.A. County Coroner, County Juvenile Hall, Norris Cancer Hospital and University Hospital. The neighborhood is not pretty to look at, but you are not there on a sightseeing tour, you are there to learn. In that capacity it provides unequaled opportunities for learning and growth. Fight on!

Beautiful campus central to all of LA. Fight On & Always Compete!

I’m thinking about applying to this pharmacy school. However, I have two minor complaints.
1.) The advisor Peter Dean is irresponsible. I notified him that the information on the webpage (where the required prerequisite work is listed) was incorrect, he told me that he would fix it. And yet he never did. I called him again, and he told me to resolve the problem myself. So instead of forwarding my question to another counselor who knew how to fix the problem, he decided to be irresponsible and just left the mistake unfixed on the webpage. I had to find another counselor, who, by the way, fixed the problem in a week. Peter Dean should be ashamed of himself.
2.) I did visit the campus and attended one of their information sessions. The campus is NICE. However, the surrounding area is really bad. It’s so dirty.
