What impressed you positively?

I was really impressed. They do well on boards, and the students really like it there. Also, they are renovating the labs so everything will be new in two years. Plus, nonresidents get resident tuition from day one. Not a bad deal. Also a small class size limited to 40-45 students. And of course Nebraska football.

What impressed you negatively?

Can't do research your first year. Not a lot to do other than school and watch a football game or two. But, hey you're in dental school....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How great a school Nebraska is. You would be a fool not to at least check it out. Also resident tuition scholarships for all non-residents accepted.

What are your general comments?

The interview wasn't bad all all. UConn was way more difficult than this interview. Nebraska really makes you feel lucky to be there. Of the five interviews chose to go to, Nebraska impressed me the most.
