Review of University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis
from Junction City, KS
Describe your college in three sentences.
STLCOP is a manageable challenge. You have to work to get your grades, but the feeling of working for them and then getting them is rewarding. Don't consider asking for help a sign of weakness, it's a hard program and everyone knows that.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get in the habit of studying. For most students their our biggest change is learning how to study, because high school was easy for us. Now that doesn't mean you have to sit down for hours looking at the same book, learn what works for you to retain a mastery of the information.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
As I said, STLCOP is a challenge, but they offer a lot of resources to help you. Tutoring. mentoring, counselling, stress-relievers, laptops, academic planning, and all of this is free of charge. So learn how to study well and don't be afraid to ask for help before you need it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living on campus is reserved for first and some second years, but the experience was a good one for me. I was able to meet all of my classmates, and if I ever need helped with school or anything else, someone was always down the hall to help.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Our cafe offers many different options for food, and is willling to make special request so dont worry if you think you have to spend a lot of money to go somewhere and get your food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Well it is Saint Louis, there's lots to do. STLCOP is located in the central west end of town so you are able to indulge in the many shops, dining establishments, and hotels all located near-by. The Peabody Opera House, Saint Louis Cardinals Stadium, Delmar Loop, Home of the Saint Louis Blues, Forest Park, the Saint Louis Arch, and the Galleria Mall are all accessible by a short public transit, walking or driving.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek Life is offered but there is only one strictly social organization, the rest are professional and therefore are called fraternities, but are open to men and women.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I know safety is a concern for many prospective families, but campus is safe. Security is always available 24/7. 365, but it is always best to practice safety by using the rule of two, and letting someone know where you're going as it would be in an new area.
