What impressed you positively?

Staff was outstanding and Dr. Babbage was great and straightforward with all questions and concerns. Students seemed genuinally happy. Clinics were really great and you could tell you get a great clinical experience there. Cost of living is really cheap. They also offer a fantastic MS/DDS degree that allows you to finish at the same time.

What impressed you negatively?

Parts of the school are definitely out-dated and its hard to compare facilities when you interview at schools with brand new equipment. They will be remodeling though and it will directly help our class. The neighborhood directly surrounding the campus is pretty hairy! As I walked back to my hotel, I witnessed a man urinating on the sidewalk a block from the school as passerbys stood in amazement! Also, if you are from the north, you might start to think everyone there is southern. Although many people you interview with are from the north, get used to every enrolled student being a southerner, for me, that can become sort of annoying. I can only listen to so many hun's and ya'lls in a day!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

THere are more then one interview, at first it was nerve-wrecking but it ended up being super relaxed. The student and faculty who interviewed me were super relaxed and you could tell they really wanted to get to know me instead of just going through the motions.

What are your general comments?

Great school and definitely bumped up on my list of favorite schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The presentation itself was a bit unorganized but it still worked
