What impressed you positively?

The staff seemed very invested in the school and really care about the students and the members of the community. I liked how they were very honest and "real" during the initial presentation. There was no sugar coating, they told us that dental school is very difficult and told us about the tools they would give us to help us get through school. Also, there are many opportunities to work on patients and get time in clinic, there is a high need in the area for affordable dental work.

What impressed you negatively?

The student's didn't really seem too invested in the school. They didn't have much of a gung-ho attitude about the program. When I asked several students about why they chose UNLV over other schools, they didn't mention anything about the school, the staff, or the curriculum. Instead, they talked about how UNLV was close to home and they didn't want to be far from their wives, kids, parents, etc.
