"University of the Sciences is a very diverse school. I have been introduced to many cultures which will benefit me once I begin my career. The faculty are very receptive to question and are more than happy to help when you need it. The school is very expensive and they do not provide much aid. This can add extra stresses to attending grad school. The physical therapy class is also very large compared to other colleges and universities. This is pro and a con. A pro because once graduated, you have a large network, and a con because you do not get as much one-on-one attention from faculty."

"The pros of the Physician Assistant program are definitely the professors. They all demonstrate on a daily basis that they care about our education, well-being and feedback. I feel that I can approach all of them at any point with an issue and that they will truly do their best to rectify the situation. A pro and con of the program is that it is so new. My class was the second of the program and there are still many kinks to be worked through. That being said, I also feel that they are taking into consideration my concerns, and have already made a few changes based on my opinions. Overall, this is a fantastic program and I feel honored to be a part of it."

"My professors are all well qualified and want their students to succeed. However, some departments, like financial aid, can be unorganized with unclear instructions. Also, Philadelphia, like many cities, is not the safest area to live."

"My program provides excellent education and learning experiences, but is not very affordable."

"The program is very engaging and the information provided to the class is very current and up-to-date to accompany the MBA learning program"

"The University of the Sciences is a school of academic excellence. Not a party school AT ALL! Most who come thinking they can pull all nighters and not study; tend to flunk out within the first 1-2 semesters. I would not recommend it to anyone who plans on switching majors many times or has problems with being self motivated to study and work proactively; due to the fact that the school is nearly 40,000 per year for out of state students. I will say however, that the education you received is impeccable. You have a few (weed you out courses) like General Chemistry 101, and Organic Chemistry but the amount of material you learn and retain and can recollect is astonishing! Your complete education is geared towards your future career. And the schools takes it upon themselves to throw you into some different types of classes to help you become more well-rounded. The school is health professions driven so if you know you want to do something like physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician's assistant, or the holy grail of USP PHARMACY you should really look further into their programs. Ranked one of the highest and oldest pharmacy schools in the country degree's from USciences are well respected and almost all graduates who try and find jobs or further education within their major obtain them within 0-9 months after graduation. The sports are picking up more and more as is the greek life. However the school makes sure that academics come before anything, after all they are training tomorrows doctors, pharmacist, PA's, NP's etc. Just a glance of what you receive at USciences- I came into school Pre-Med undeclared, exited with 2 bachelors done in 5 years and a certification as a Medical Laboratory Scientist with the American Society of Clinical Pathology. My closest friends include- a physician assistant who practices neurosurgery, a pharmacist, a physical therapist, and a infectious disease control microbiologist... I basically have someone from every part of a hospital on speed dial! Oh and I forgot with my being a Delaware native-70k of student loan debt! Overall GREAT SCHOOL, but you have to PAY for their QUALITY!"

"It is very good program and the faculty are great for networking. It is a great pharmacy school. Many people that I know have graduated and received jobs right away. They teach and emphasize professionalism and help prepare their students for the real world with their accelerated program"

"Pros include academic competitiveness, technology, and Education Quality. Compared to cons in the area of affordability."

"Usciences' pharmacy program is an excellent program with very knowledgeable professors and great networking opportunities. It is a rigorous program, but very rewarding, however, it is very expensive."

"Pros: Intense physical therapy program Rigorous Academics Long clinical experience requirements Faculty are supportive and helpful Cons: Cost High cost of living in surrounding area"

"Pros: education for life Cons: stressful school environment"
