<p>For year 3 and 4, do the pharmD students have to take classes during the summer? (since co-op is during fall or spring semester) </p>
<p>or can they choose to do co-op during the summer?</p>
<p>I received $20k(freshman yr) and $10k for full semester after that..
how do pharmacy students generally pay for tuition?
can they do work-study (or something like that..)? or do they pay through co-op?</p>
<p>Also, which building do the pharmD freshman (also in honors program) usually dorm in!?
and are there bathrooms in each dorm? </p>
<p>I would appreciate it if anyone could answer these questions :) thank you!! :)</p>
<p>Yes, according to that schedule you’d be taking summer classes. All the majors that have 3 co-ops built in require that you take summer classes, because you’ll be alternating between 6 months of co-op and 6 months of classes after freshman year essentially. January through June (spring + summer I) you’ll either be in class or on co-op and July through December (summer II + fall) you’ll be doing the other.</p>
<p>(Re: scholarship… just want to make sure you understand that $20k freshman year is equivalent to $10k per semester… I know that confused me when I got my letter from NU.) I don’t know if pharmacy students pay their tuition any differently than other students. You can do work-study if you were awarded it in your financial aid. There are also non-work-study jobs around campus and part-time jobs you can find around the city. I think someone on here has broken down how you can’t really rely on co-op to pay any significant amount of tuition. </p>
<p>All freshmen honors students live in International Village. Two rooms (usually two doubles) share one bathroom. Usually, there’s a toilet and shower in the bathroom and there’s a sink inside the dorm room.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions… sorry that I’m not really familiar with the PharmD program (I’m an International Affairs major).</p>
<p>Congrats cherryfilter! I also got accepted into pharmD honors with same scholarship I was wondering how they calculate tuition for 6yr pharmD? According to [Tuition</a> 2010-2011](<a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/billing-tuition1011.html]Tuition”>http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/billing-tuition1011.html)
it is 17675 per term and 10835 per term in your 6th year. I am not sure what “direct entry pharmD clinical” is for (same rate as 6th year). Also, since you have to take summer classes because of the 3 co-ops, would you pay the 9095 tuition for those classes?</p>
<p>Another question- I know this will probably be heavily dependent on what you do for your co-op, but can anyone give an estimate of about how much you earn per co-op?</p>
<p>I got accepted into the pharmd program too! andd I somehow still havent figured out if this is a 0-6 or 2-6 program. do you guys know? I feel like it’s ridiculous that I don’t know this already haha</p>
<p>So do all non-honors students in the pharmD program live in Bouve?</p>
<p>@ek83645- It’s 0-6. So you’re automatically guaranteed in Northeastern’s pharm program as long as you keep up with a certain required GPA, I think.</p>
<p>that’s awesome! I don’t think there are many 0-6 programs left. i don’t think all of the non honor pharmd students live together. I think you can choose to live in the bouve LLC. I didn’t get into honors and i can’t decide if I’d way to live in a LLC or not</p>
<p>Oh ok thanks! Yeah, I’m looking into whether it’s better to live in the Bouve LLC or just a regular dorm. But I’ve got plenty of time I guess. I’m still not even 100% sure I’m attending Northeastern. I still have to look into other financial aid packages.</p>
<p>Here’s my question on scholarships. It’s a 0-6 program. You only pay tuition when you are in classes and not in Co-op, so I get why they make the scholarships per semester, so it is paid when you are in classes. My question is, did they tell you how many semesters you’ll receive the scholarship? Was it 8 semesters (the equivalent of 4 years) or 12 semesters to cover all 6 years? My S applied regular decision, so it will be awhile before he hears.</p>
<p>I’ve a question about the Northeastern curriculum. I looked it through and it said that except for the first year, Years 2-6 all require classes or Co-op in the fall, spring, and summer terms. Does that mean that there is no break…when we can go home?</p>
<p>blinkangel mentioned this so figured I’d copy/paste… you shouldn’t expect co-op to help you pay tuition. Your living expenses (including rent or dorm room/board), sure, but not your tuition. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I should note that most people spend more than this in a month, especially once you get older and are doing more things off-campus and outside of boston. I just finished my last co-op and didn’t come close to saving this kind of money, but that’s because I love newbury st and vodka tonics (being over 21 in this city makes you broke).</p>
<p>Yeah, I was definitely going to bring up what Emily said. NO ONE is able to live off of coop alone. I saved about 7000 (but I made really good pay for a first coop and I NEVER spent money when I didn’t have to). People who make less (like between 8 to 10 an hour, which happens) would make a lot less. Plus I lived on campus with parents who paid for that, and I kind of lived off of other people’s meal plans. But tuition for summer 2 is about 9000. Not including rent, food, etc for summer 2. So coop wouldn’t even have gotten me past summer. Never ever rely on the whole “well I’ll be able to afford it because of coop” idea.</p>
<p>Pharmacy is very strict. Very little break, a defined “you must take this kind of coop at this time of year during this year” schedule, and a few classes (med chem…) that make you want to cry. But if you want to be a pharmacist, it’s an amazing program.</p>
<p>And I believe I remember it explains the differences for financial aid/tuition payment for pharm students either on bouve’s website or on the fin aid website…</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that Emily-- that’s exactly what I was referring to Now if only I could even hope to make that much with an Intl Affairs co-op that will most likely be unpaid at a non-profit! But I guess if this is what I want to do with my life I’m gonna have to get used to it at some point haha</p>
<p>@illusiondestiny: for those majors that require 3 co-ops or something similar, this ends up alternating between 6 months of co-op and 6 months of classes for your upperclass years. So as for breaks, it kinda depends on whether you’re in classes in the spring or fall. If you’re in classes in the spring (+ summer 1), you’ll have a week off for spring break the first week of March and then the week or two between the end of spring classes and the beginning of summer 1 classes (depending on when your finals end and whatnot), and then there’s probably a week between the end of summer 1 classes ending and co-op beginning. If you’re in classes in (summer 2 +) the fall, you’ll have a few weeks off between summer 2 and fall classes, and then the 5 days off for Thanksgiving, and then the end of December off for winter break. </p>
<p>Sorry I’m probably not explaining this in the best way. And I haven’t started co-op yet, so I might have some of this wrong. But you should remember that for co-op you’ll get certain holidays off (like Thanksgiving) anyways, just as you would in class. So you won’t have a typical summer break after freshman year summer, but you’ll certainly have time to go home. And if you have something like AP credit, then you may not have to take summer classes. And you may also be interested in doing a Dialogue of Civilizations for summer 1 or 2 (I did one last year for summer 1 after freshman year and just got accepted to one for this summer! :)). </p>
<p>Please note that I really don’t know anything specifically about Bouve, so I’m not sure how different scheduling is.</p>
