What impressed you positively?

Though older, the equipment and labs are all very nice, and there are many planned remodels. ALso, the high rate of specialization was really nice. The best thing was that the faculty were so friendly, Dr. Davis and Dr. Macmanus were totally awesome and joked the entire time, while still doing their best to make the school seem like a family environment. Also, the Pass/Honors/Fail system I like better than grades.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They kept stressing that there is a TON of extra science classes - though after talking with students, it seems do-able... just harder than other schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the continental breakfast = danish + coffee .... though lunch was much better =)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Really amazing school, friendly staff and students. The neighborhood isn't quite as bad as people make it out to be, since most hte the area directly around the dental school is the medical center, but out side of that it's not too great.
