SDN, oral practice

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, library, friendliness of the students, staff and faculty. Lots of opportunities for mission trips abroad. Strong clinical focus.

What impressed you negatively?

No in state tuition after first year. Talked a lot about research on the website but there seemed to be very little focus on this during the interview. Would have liked to at least have lunch with dental students since their was no student interview. It was hard to get a real sense of how they felt about the school. The haptics machine seemed like just a tool for admissions - they promote it as a way to improve hand skills in D1 year but the D1s on the tour barely knew how to turn it on.
