A Typical Day in the Life of a PCSP Student

Most people hear about the work involved in pharmacy school, and I think it’s safe to say that many prospective students (maybe even you!) wonder what a typical day in the life of a pharmacy student looks life. Hopefully this post will put all the rumors and your worries to rest!

I am a second year student so while I can’t speak for what third year is like, I will do my best to shed some light! The first class of the day usually starts at 8:30. You can most always count on classes going until 11:30-noonish (this is a ballpark figure as your schedule will change each semester). The afternoons usually start around 1:30 (enjoy some lunch, have a quick study session or both!) are reserved for an occasional class and labs (that changes when you’re a third year). Days you have lab (twice a week) are usually your longest days. I want to say the latest I’ve had a lab scheduled to was 4:30 PM. Once you get into a rhythm of how your days work, they flow pretty nicely! Time management and scheduling are KEY to staying sane. The semester goes by pretty fast, so having things written/ planned out will help more than you ever realize! While some days will feel longer than others, the journey is well worth it!
