Samantha Hill Eachues went to a large state school for undergrad and loved it there. But when it was time to take the next step in becoming a pharmacist, she was ready for a different environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cPC School of Pharmacy felt like home for me,\u201d Samantha said. \u201cFrom the interview process to graduation, PC never made me feel like I was \u2018just another student.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
During her undergraduate days, Samantha was one of many in large classes. Not at PC, though.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing from a larger university for undergrad, where I was lucky to know one other individual, to coming to PCSP and knowing everyone in my class was like a huge family,\u201d Samantha said. \u201cWhen I got to the small class sizes at PCSP, I knew that was the perfect fit for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe camaraderie between faculty and students is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the small class sizes, Samantha could form relationships with students and professors. The faculty members weren\u2019t just there to relay information; they were there to help make sure students succeeded.<\/p>\n
And Samantha didn\u2019t just notice the difference in classes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere wasn\u2019t a day that you didn\u2019t walk around on one of the floors and find at least one student in a faculty member\u2019s office,\u201d Samantha said. \u201cNo matter what the problem was, someone\u2019s door was always open.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only did they help us, but they also celebrated our accomplishments with us. While these relationships were valuable then, I still keep in touch with many of the faculty and appreciate these relationships even more now as peers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samantha, now a pharmacist with Palmetto Health in Columbia, SC, said her preceptors at the PC School of Pharmacy helped prepare her for her career too.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy preceptors were some of the best around,\u201d she said. \u201cThey provided me with the hands-on tools that couldn\u2019t be taught in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
