Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

This University has several pros and cons which can be significant for other people. Specifically, the academics at this school are very challenging and many students are very competitive. A popular saying that gets circulating around school is "it is very easy to get into MCPHS but very hard to stay in the school. The highlighting factor for this University is the location. The campus is located in the prime of Boston around several hospitals and accessible by public transportation.

As someone committed to health sciences, I find MCPHS University ideal. With programs in pharmacy, nursing, dental hygiene, and more, MCPHS offers comprehensive, hands-on education. Its Boston location provides access to top healthcare facilities, aiding internships and job placements. Despite high tuition and demanding programs, MCPHS’s robust healthcare training and strong career outcomes make it worth the commitment.

MCPHS is a good allied health sciences school that focuses on health science majors. They have good health-related programs like radiology, sonography, and an accelerated pharmacy program. They are also located in the Longwood area which has many health facilities around it like Boston children's hospital and Brigham and women which present a good opportunity for students.

I would never choose to go here if I had to do it again. MCPHS only cares about its students as profits; and the results of this are seen at every level of the school. There are not sufficient staff or offices (no nurse's office, no cafeteria, very badly staffed tech office, etc.). The academic program was so poorly planned, which caused excessive stress for students. The staff and faculty are unhelpful and lack basic humanity, if you can even contact them. I do not recommend MCPHS.

MCPHS is one of the best colleges out there. they make me feel accepted as a person they dont look at me like im a freak because of my 504 plan they make me feel welcomed its one of the best feelings in the world and I hope people feel the same as i do.

The admissions staff is top notch, there every step of the way. The graduate campus in Manchester is intimate, yet top notch. Class size is smaller, which makes you feel less like a number and more like a colleague. Faculty strive to be accessible and supportive. They truly want you to succeed.

I like going to school in Boston, I don't believe my university is the best one out there among others however it has what other universities offer. It is what you make of it as a student. Opportunities are there but one must be very goal oriented to make these chances into actualities.

Being close to the Boston city, hospitals, commute, I feel its really a great option.

I've always loved the school and I have no regrets looking back as I prepare for my future. They are one of only nine schools that offer a six year direct entry PharmD program and are number one when it comes to highest earning power. The professors and students there are so outgoing and are always ready to assist or collaborate. It's an academically rigorous environment that still provides a lot of outside opportunities to explore in the greater metro of Boston.

Love MCPHS - planning on attending. Have visited twice and will visit again this weekend for accepted students weekend. Looking to see if I can also do a shadow a student day or a spend the night. Enjoy the atmosphere. At MCPHS, the building is historical and is actually very modern, but is built around the original historical building built in the 1800's I think. Love the combination or old and new and MCPHS truly represents that - old and new. They use old school values but provide the students with state of the art labs and equipment, as well as lecture halls with the latest technology, in order to be successful. The lecture halls also allow for the teachers to audiotape their lectures and the students can go back and re-listen to them. The professors eager to answer questions and help in any way. Professors are here to help is what was told to us and they are very accessible. What I liked best was that we were told that MCPHS is a teaching college and they want the students to come, ask questions and be successful. MCPHS also provides tutoring services and will do all they can to help the students there be as successful as possible. The students on campus are always helpful and willing to answer questions. The tours that the school provides are extremely helpful and you can always ask questions in a friendly and non-judgemental environment. You can tour a variety of dorms, the surrounding area on a trolley and local museums too. Dorms are shared with other Fenway 5 schools (Mass Art/Emmanuel/Wentworth/Simmons).You have the opportunity to eat in many dining halls and take classes at other Fenway 5 schools if you have electives available. Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is a 5-minute walk and there is a small museum right around the corner. Transportation is easy and right across the street from the University. This makes access to all Boston offers just a hop on and hop off. Copley is 4 stops away on the T, the Prudential Building is 3 stops and the North End is a short 4-5 stop trip on the Green Line. Great city and local vibe.

I believe there's little to none positive intent regarding faculty towards their students and their overall wellbeing. It's extremely difficult to be able to find a professor or faculty member who truly cares about how their students are doing, I've been extremely lucky to have found about 3-4 in my career at MCP thus far.

There are big lecture halls for the big classes that everyone needs to take (anatomy, chemistry, microbiology, etc.) but other classes contain approx. 30 people. The carpets are gross, and there are plenty of privileged students who could care less about cleaning up after themselves. The school has a "wet policy," indicating that there is no alcohol allowed on campus, which could lead to expulsion. There is no housing available for students after their freshman year, due to the fact that it is a smaller school in Boston (there is no space for us). Most students live in Mission Hills or Roxbury because it is close by and inexpensive (that means dangerous, small, and dirty). However, this is a fantastic school, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. It offers a bachelor's degree for Dental Hygiene majors, which only takes three years. However, it is hard to find nice and wholesome friends here. Overall, it is a good school.

I have visited the campus one time. This is my dream school! When I became interested in the college I emailed the admissions office and they got back to me in one day and also answered all my questions without making me feel like a pain. The staff is accommodating and reassuring about any doubts or questions an individual may have. would 10/10 recommend this for anyone looking to go into the health field.

Not great. The school is not very clean. There are mice all over the school. The school is rather expensive but the facilities are very very poor. Very minimal study spaces. Staplers are a rare commodity in the school. Few printers around the school and there is usually a long line in front of printers. Printers also print very slow. We timed 3 printers that would print out one sheet every 12 seconds. This made printing 45 page lecture packets very tedious. Not a great school. Not worth the education or price tag.

MCPHS is a professional college that focuses on getting their students to successes in the bests way. College is suppose to prepare you to the best of the schools ability and I fell MCPHS does just that. I cannot wait to become a ful time nurse I feel like MCPHS will have me Fully prepared.
