Good reviews

Attending ACPHS was the best decision I have ever made. The opportunities here are endless, from research using glowing fruit flies to its location in the heart of the capital city. The community on this campus is like no other. Every professor is willing to help their students and the students always help each other. It's an amazing place to be.

I love the atmosphere on campus. The campus itself is amazing! The food is actually great here (don't listen to others!). The professors are SO NICE. The library and student centers are newly updated,and there are plugs EVERYWHERE to charge up. Campus security is great, always patrolling on foot and in jeeps, which makes everyone feel safe. LOVE IT

Going into my fourth year here, I can't imagine myself at another college. ACPHS is such an awesome, tight-knit community that really makes the experience that much better. While the academics are challenging, the professors are always willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed, and the clubs & orgs make it impossible to NOT make friends.

This is a great school with so many resources and opportunities. The capus is close knit and welcoming. The Programming Board sets up so many fun events for students to get a break from studying. Courses are hard but prepare you well for the future.

This school has been challenging but it's been worth it. I had gained many opportunities such as my network and my advisors who have been helpful. The academics are hard but they prepare you for the future years ahead in the educational and career aspects.

They hate it too.

Enrolling here was the worst mistake of my entire life. The worst 3 years of any academic venture. Never have I seen such a collection of the most disrespectful faculty in my entire life. This whole operation is bad news. Do not go to this school, even if your life depended on it. You'll be much happier; trust me.

terrible college! don't let them fool you with their advertising!

Do not waste your time and money! The pre-pharmacy is sucks in this school. Although, you spent a lot of time doing assignments, attending all of your classes, and studying hard you definitely fell ur courses. Elective courses have a lot of required assignments and presentations. Exams are harder to pass.

Feels like a student prison.
Overall 1.1
This school is full of miserable students and academic dishonesty. I learned nothing here. If you take your education seriously, go elsewhere, earn a decent education and save 40k a year.
Overall 1.3
Becoming accepted into this school, if you can even call it that, was the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. Save yourself the money for tuition and therapy and go to a different pharmacy school.
Overall 1.4
Acphs promotes a culture of elitism, disrespect to students, and an unwillingness to admit a mistake. If you need a reason to be angry acphs will give you one.
Overall 1.4
Please choose another school (ESPECIALLY if it's not for pharmacy for Christ's sake)! Yes, college is supposed to be difficult, but it's not supposed to be severely miserable. I don't have enough space to say everything that's wrong with this school, so just believe me. There's more pre-med/pre-pharm schools out there, STOP CHOOSING THIS SCHOOL PLZ
