What impressed you positively?

equipment

What impressed you negatively?

not too sure about living close to school with a family, dental school building seemed more like an overly tall maze than a well-laid out school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Baltimore is not the kind of place I'd consider living.

What are your general comments?

Not overly impressed, honestly. Equipment is top-notch, I'm sure instruction is excellent, but I really didn't like the location or the building layout. I basically told them Maryland was my last choice and I didn't really want to bring my family to Baltimore. Not sure how they took THAT, but I was still accepted!
