This place is starting to turn into MDS in New Jersey! Constant shouting, hollering, "singing", rapping, confrontations, aggressive posturing, guys and girls sneaking off for sex, LOUD LOUD LOUD rap music, use of cellphones in inappropriate places, etc. This place is a powder keg and I cannot believe I have not seen any fights yet. It wouldn't take much for one of these subhumans to attack a staff member either. If the sponsors saw whats going on now, I am sure they would flip out! You can't talk to the Ts about any issues anymore either.

one of the dorm rooms, while another roommate acts as lookout. They weren't very discreet about it either.

The use of terms like "ghetto zoo" and "subhumans" makes it so obvious that you are a biased bigot. As with all studies, you are there VOLUNTARILY. If you feel so offended and threatened, you can always leave.

A biased bigot? Maybe he was simply expressing his thoughts and opinions on the facility!

I did PPD studies from 2010 to 2012. It's quite a place. Met an array of interesting people. It pays to bring your own laptop. The television rooms are movie theater style which is nice. It can get pretty rowdy at times ala college dorms. I never witnessed sex at PPD...but I wouldn't put it passed some lab rats to do so. I think there are worse things to be seen than people ****ing...NOT that I advocate their behavior.
There was one goofball in a study I participated in that was damn near down syndrome and resembled BaBa Booey from HOWARD STERN. He carried around a stuffed bunny. Odd dude.
I met some cool people during my tenure at PPD and seem my fair share of chaos go down.

Someone in another thread mentioned there were studies paying up to $13k. Why is payout so high? What are they making you do that is different from other places?

every clinic has it's characters but PPD is a high volume clinic and not a lot of space to move around when it's packed. My best suggestion is to bring ear plugs, a laptop, ipad or the very least an mp3 player and spend as much time away from the masses as possible, though not always possible. in the end, it's only for a finite period of time so I think its worth the inconvience for that $$$

e My best suggestion is to bring ear plugs, a laptop, ipad or the very least an mp3 player Paul you sure about the iPad recommendation? The new iPad has a camera/video built in. Not sure about the older versions. It would be nice to get an iPad vs. a laptop because they are less clunky.

How does his comment make him a racist? Where in his comment does he mention race?

I can confirm that PPD is a ghetto zoo. I just got done with a weekend there and can't think of any other two word description that could identify the facility more accurate. However I still would recommend PPD for studies just be aware that the rules are contradictory and strict at the same time. If you disagree with the way things are ran just keep your mouth shut and realise that you are just another number in their computer.
