What impressed you positively?
All in all it is pretty technologically advanced. They have all the curriculum on a DVD, so it is totally computer based no books. They do have digital radiography, the use of hard and soft tissue lasers, CAD and CAM technology and they are the first in the country to have implemented plasimated specimens into their anatomy curiculum. However, I got the impression that most dental students do not get much exposure to using laser or digital radiography.
What impressed you negatively?
The cost for one. New York city for two. It might be the environment some people want but it is not for me. It also seemed like there are too many students there and you could get lost in the shuffle. Plus they add another 150 international dentists to the D2 student body. And of course that rumor that everyone hears about 20% of the class flunking out after the first year.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That they add another 150 students after the first year to the D2 class who are foreign dentists.
What are your general comments?
Pretty laid back, simple questions. T
