P1 Student Introduction

Greetings Everyone!

My name is David Ngo and I am a first year pharmacy student at BJD. I graduated from the University of California of San Diego (UCSD) with a degree in Pharmacological Chemistry. After graduation, I was working as a pharmacy clerk for two years at the UCSD Medical Center. So far, I have been generally pleased with the course work and the social atmosphere at the school.

I was attracted to this school because of its small size and its embracement of technology. For instance, lectures are telecasted from the main campus in Winchester to the satellite site in Ashburn and vice versa. Sixteen classmates and I are located in the Ashburn facility owned by George Washington University. Major advantages of being on the satellite campus are 24 hour access to the facility and the opportunity to visit Washington DC by the free GWU shuttles with out charge. Unfortunately, the satellite class is only for the first year and I’ll be joining the rest of my colleagues of about 60 at the main campus for my remaining years.

Stay tuned for future posts on the life of a first year pharmacy student at BJD.
