I visited 20 schools before/during the application process, these schools were:Nazareth CollegeKeuka CollegeAlbany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (ACPHS)Long Island University Post/LIU PostMassachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS)University of New HavenAlleghany CollegeUniversity of PittsburghThiel CollegeNiagra UniversityRoberts Weaslyn UniversityUniversity at BuffaloAmerican UniversityThe Catholic University of AmericaSt. John Fisher CollegeAlfred UniversityUniversity of Pittsburgh at BradfordSUNY GeneseoSUNY BrockportSUNY ESFI mainly looked at the campus while on the campus visits because I would be able to learn about their programs online or by emailing/calling the college. I looked at the “feel” of the campus, I tried to imagine myself living on the campus, I looked at the dorms to see if I felt comfortable there, I looked to see if I liked their classrooms, I looked to see if their science labs/buildings were good. I also tried to learn about their non-academic things like their dining halls and their amenities.For example…At ACPHS I didn’t feel safe on the campus because the freshmen dorms were very far away from the other parts of the campus and you had to walk through a dark parking lot.I liked the dorms at American University and I liked the feel of the campus but I didn’t like the fact you have to pay for laundry.At schools like MCPHS and the University of Pittsburgh, I liked the fact you were in a city but it didn’t feel like home.I am a strong supporter of visiting campuses because if you are not happy with the college campus on the tour then do you really want to live there for the next 4 (or more) years. I loved the idea of schools like MCPHS, American University, and the University of Pittsburgh but I didn’t feel like I could live there for 4 years; I wouldn’t have known that if I hadn’t visited the campus.

Bad decisions made early on — if you choose the wrong partners or hire the wrong people, for example — are very hard to correct after they are made. It may take a crisis on the order of bankruptcy before anybody will even try to correct them. As a founder, your first job is to get the first things right, because you cannot build a great company on a flawed foundation.”― Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the FutureThough HR is not a glamorous position, it is an essential one. Arduous policies, poor recruiting, blunderous hiring, and awkward, unresolved workplace conflict can kill a company from inside out. On the other hand, streamlined processes, useful resources and employee training, aggressive recruiting, selective hiring, team building, and the right culture creation can turn a company into a "mafia" and coworkers into family.Below are the 5 best senior HR executives working at startups in Silicon Valley.Allison Hopkins (Silicon Valley)Allison Hopkins, the Chief People Officer of Hampton Creek, a food technology company backed by Peter Thiel[1][1][1][1] and praised by Bill Gates,[2][2][2][2] is an HR wizard.
