What impressed you positively?

Feeling among students, respect from faculty. "Ohio Project" outreach program sounds like a neat experience. Great clinical school with lots of research opportunities for those interested. You get enough experience in doing your own labwork to know how to be a good dentist but you won't have to be casting a crown at midnight cause your patient is coming tomorrow. Columbus is a great city and there are many apartments that are very affordable ~600/mo (2br/1.5ba) within a 10 min drive or 15 min bus ride. Very good bus transportation system also. Oh, and Buckeye football games on Saturday...what more could you ask for!

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone says the preclinic labs are old but I really didn't think anything negative about them when I saw them. They may be less new than many other schools but they weren't poor quality.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can get resident tuition starting from the day you start classes if your wife is working full time for the first year of school.
