The area in Pomona is not good, but hey you're in California so that's good and the campus is nice. It's a small school so you get to know people. The staff is super helpful, I still talk with the advisors from before I even was accepted. I made a great decision to attend WesternU.

For the PharmD program, steer clear. This school doesn't listen to the student's needs, and the teachers are like God. The teacher is never wrong and even when a test question makes no sense, you never learned it, or its wrong, they won't drop it. They don't care if 24 people fail a class because they have international students start in P2.
