What impressed you positively?

How welcoming and friendly all the faculty and staff were. The new dent-sim lab was amazing!

What impressed you negatively?

The school's facilities. The freshmen and sophomores basically live in the basement which is old and so hot! The pre-clinic is outdated. They are in the process of remodeling all of their clinics, but I was not even impressed by the remodeled ones. The main clinic is huge and so loud. It does not seem like there is any privacy and I was not impressed by it, despite its new look and equipment.
