What impressed you positively?

"Almost everything! First of all, everyone at Nova, students, staff, professors, all were very friendly. Several students not associated with the tour even sat down and talked to us for about 30 minutes. Current students really love it there, and they manage to have fun and learn dentistry all at the same time. Dr. Lippman was so nice! I knew from this forum that it was going to be a pleasant interview, but I never expected what actually happened. VERY conversational. Facilities were brand new, and spectacular; the pre-clinical lab blew away everywhere else I've been so far. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?
