Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

i've been to 4 other schools at various other places around the nation. i thought i had seen a good representation of what dental school had to offer. going to U of Iowa for an interview changed my perspective entirely. it has bar-none the best facilities of any school i've visited. it is the most well rounded (at least it seems so right now) than any other school, the clinics were the most asthetically pleasing, the philosphpy and education there seem to be a good mixture of everything (including full disection, start to finish, of cadavars in the anatomy lab), and they all seem very student oriented. to be completely honest, of the schools i've seen, there is not another program/facility that i've seen that compares to u of iowa. additionally, crime seems low, traffic seems low, there are a fair amount of malls and resturants and such. lastly, u of iowa has specialty programs in all the ADA recognized programs. that is grounds for a good deal of exposure to a lot of different parts of dentistry.

What impressed you negatively?

it's in the middle of lots of farmland. it does have a great college atmosphere, but outside of that its in the middle of farms and fields.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not much. you can't get in state tuition after a year.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

i think that this is the epidome of a very good, well rounded dental school. if i can be happy living in iowa city for four years, then i am sure i'll walk away with a very good educational background and a bright future in dentistry. really, i don't much wrong with the school besides the location.
