🎓 The Basics

Overall, how satisfied are you with this program?

6 out of 10

What was the zip code of your residence in high school?

29708

What do you like most?

For the most part, the professors are great. Mostly diamonds, only came across one dud so far and she was the definition of evil and shes retiring next year.

What do you like least?

The pointless courses that we are put through. First year, Histology and BioChem are emphasized over courses like Periodontics, Morphology, and Occlusion (courses that actually deal with teeth). The courses they do emphasize are infinitely harder and more time consuming, and have no practical purpose in the real world when we start practicing.
