The Pharmacy program definitely prepares you really well. The professors are so nice; you can talk to them about any questions and really have a connection. Even on rotations, everyone always notices that you\u2019re from URI.

It\u2019s great to walk around the building and be welcomed by students and faculty who know your name.

I looked for universities with great pharmacy programs and found URI, and When I visited on Welcome Day, I really loved the atmosphere of the campus and the students' positive vibe and school pride.

I loved this rotation because it was something different.  I work in retail, so everything was new and the staff there was really good at facilitating my learning.
