What impressed you negatively?

"The students have way too much free time. "It is really easy to just get by without trying AT ALL. You can get an extremely low grade on multiple exams and they will say nothing" As quoted from some students. I have little confidence in their graduates. They have a high specialization rate but maybe that's just due to the lack of skill of the GPs. The place was a bunch of nutcases for admissions staff." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The actual location of the dental school on campus. The admissions letter did not include a campus map." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Aweful. The USC dental school thinks they are the number 1 program. They're not. They're expensive and have way too much free time. I really do not know what you pay for when attending the school. The only thing nice is the sim lab and it's way to big. I feel like USC dental is more of a production line atmosphere. Where the product is someone with debt and DDS. Very impersonal environment. 1st year students were happy...duh, they have 10 hrs of activities to do a week. The 2nd+ year students seemed very unhappy. I did not see one pleasant student in the clinic." Report Response
