Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

“The professors are very knowledgeable and care about their students. They are always willing to help and make themselves available outside of class. The small class sizes allow for more one-on-one interaction with professors.”

“Great connections to hospitals and pharmacies in the area for internships and rotations. The career services office really helps with job placement after graduation.”

“The curriculum is rigorous but prepares you well for the NAPLEX. I felt very prepared going into my pharmacy career. The hands-on learning in labs was excellent.”

“Small school environment makes it easy to get to know everyone. You really build strong relationships with classmates and faculty. Everyone is very supportive.”

“The location in Albany is great - close to medical centers and research facilities. Good opportunities for clinical experience and networking in the capital region.”

“Very expensive tuition for a small school with limited campus life and activities. You're paying a lot for just the pharmacy program without much else.”

“The workload is extremely heavy and stressful. There's not much of a social life because you're constantly studying. It can be very isolating.”

“Limited campus facilities and outdated dorms. The small campus doesn't have many amenities compared to bigger universities. Food options are very limited.”

“Not much diversity in terms of programs - if you decide pharmacy isn't for you, there aren't many other options. Switching majors basically means transferring schools.”

“The administration can be disorganized and not very responsive to student concerns. Communication about important deadlines and changes is often poor.”
