I was hospitalized with sepsis, which blood poisoning, that came about as a result of other infections that spread. It's a really serious illness that's treated in the Intensive Care Unit of hospitals. I left the hospital despite doctors' recommendations because my teacher refused to provide accommodations or even to respond to my e-mails, and the department head of the chemistry department stands by that choice. If you are looking for a fair school to go to that values the well-being of their students, do not come here. I took my two science final exams with one anti-viral prescription, three anti-bacterial prescriptions, and one prescription for a narcotic pain killer. It was really hard to even come to class with the compounded side effects of all of these extremely strong medications, but it was deal with this or fail the class. I think this experience truly and fairly represents the university's values and their code of conduct. It is not ethical and it is not just, but it is the reality. Do not expect anything better.

The science teachers have been making it very difficult to pass the classes and the scores are not curved. In one of my science classes, almost 40% had to drop to avoid failing the class. Dropping a major science class means it will take you another year to graduate. Many students also have to take easier non-required filler math/science classes that you would not have otherwise taken to build up your grade point average. An extra year to complete your program means another year of costly tuition I can barely afford. And this is still no guarantee you will get into their pharmacy program. Also, you need a LOR from a pharmacist to get into the pharmacy school. Many I talked to are having an extremely difficult time finding a place to volunteer to get that reference. Needless to say attending this school has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I hope someone in their administration reads this and changes things because I am not the only one who feels this way. Campus Aesthetics: A-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

The office staff are so rude that they did not care to answer my phone calls, nor did they return any of my voice mail messages. I have even sent them emails in regards to questions about the program, and still no response. The hell with UoP dental hygiene program! I'm just glad that I will be attending another dental hygiene program this fall that cares for their students and have office staffs that know how to answer questions for entering-level candidates! Unlike UoP that has a chip on their shoulder for no good reasons. And wow, after reading a lot of the comments here about UoP, I'm not surprised that potential employers don't find this institute to be a good school. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?
