nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The tuition + other expenses for BU dental school this year is $75,000, while the maximum studnet loan for each student is only $45,000. so if you are planning to attend this school, you need to be ready to come up with the extra $30,000 per year somehow.

What are your general comments?

The student who gave the tour of the school was very friendly and did a great job in giving us a complete tour of the facility. Faculties that we run into during the tour show so much interest in each one of us and made us feel we are at home. You'll be surprise how friendly and easy going the faculties are.
