What impressed you positively?

I really liked the small town atmosphere of both the town and the school. Only 200 total students. Good student/faculty ratio. The campus was very small. Nice

What impressed you negatively?

If I had to say one thing, some of the areas of the campus could handle being renovated/updated. They are still sufficient for what needs to be done. Just not beautiful to look at.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they are one of the cheapest dental schools and they consistently finish in the top 20% of schools on the NBE's

What are your general comments?

The interview was very laid back. One-on-one. The interviewer was not out to see how stressed he could make me. He just wanted to get to know me. Makes you feel very comfortable
