SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students/faculty are so nice and welcoming. The school has a warm, "family" feel and seems very team-oriented. DC is such an exciting place to be.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are old (but they're slowly changing things- starting to use digital charting, etc.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where to park!! It's mostly meter parking around the school and it's limited to 4 hours, but I found out that you can park in the permit-only lot on Saturdays.

What are your general comments?

Interview impressed me a lot. I like that Howard dental school has such a diverse class, but is like one giant family. DC is a diverse and exciting city to be in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Have the application fee be payable online or as a check.
