"the facilities were amazing, everything is digital"
"The technology is advanced - the school is clean and new while still actively taking in student opinions. My interviewer was also very personable."
"1. The facility of the school and how nice every faculty was. 2. They set up the entire clinical cubicle just like any other private practice. This gives patients more privacy during treatment. 3. Students work in pairs (one main doc and one assist). This model allows a greater efficiency and students get to learn the aspect of being an assistant as well, which will be beneficial in the future if they want to set up a private practice. 4. There are no dispensary station and all the equipment and materials are accessible in every cubicle --> Time efficiency."
"the state of the art clinic and all the windows in the clinic."
"Great facilities, very modern."
"The brand new facilities, and how nice all of the faculty were."
"Location"
"Abrupt transition from breakout room to interview rooms. Interviewer seemed to be distracted at times when answering a question."
"there was no presentation just students answering the questions then a quick interview. The guy interviewing me was cutting me off and seemed to be in hurry to get elsewhere hence it was not a pleasant experience."
"They don't give any presentations like other schools. It was divided in two parts: a student Q&A and interview. The negative part is that the dental student for the Q&A was only a second-year so she didn't really know the answers to most questions we had on the clinical side of the school. Otherwise she's also really friendly and awesome!"
"my interviewer was old and had a thick accent, i could not understand him, he didnt really ask me "dental interview" questions, felt like I could have better sold myself with a different interviewer"
"I couldn't find much food around the area."
"The students there did not seem very enthusiastic about what they do."
"2 people that were supposed to present or talk to the interviewees were not there"
"The interviewer had a list of questions and had to hit every question quickly without allowing time to really respond. Seemed to be an issue with other interviewees. The clinical facilities were modern but almost empty at 2pm on a Wednesday. They do not have a D4 class yet but there should still be plenty of patients in the chairs for routine work that D3s can do."
"I only got to speak with one student during the day and the few students that were there came towards the end of the day."
"How stress free it actually was"
"How low stress it would be"
"While waiting to be interviewed, 2 dental students are in the break out room and you can ask them questions."
"Touro does digital dentistry."
"that everyone there is pretty nice and its a chill day"
"Who my interviewer was."
"How relaxed the interview is."
"How low stress and nice everyone is."
"Really enjoyable interview"
"I wish he asked at the end if I had any questions. He seemed like he was trying to rush me out towards the end of it"
"The building is nice but the zoom presentation is quite bad you should go in person to get a better exp."
"Touro seems to be on top of incorporating the most modern technology in pre-clinicals and clinical, so that's awesome."
"Touro is new and strives to modernize dentistry with the help of technology. I believe that is an important goal and will prepare the students for the future of dentistry."
"Touro has the great potential to become one of the best dental schools in the country."
"I enjoyed speaking with my interviewer. He went out of his way for me to meet students after the interview. he introduced me to a student after the interview. Know you your application!"
"The school is beautiful, and the students, and faculty were so nice. I enjoyed the interview day."
