What impressed you positively?

"Clinical experiences. Students have rotations at the dental school itself, as well as, the local hospital and various community clinics. The school is in an underserved area, so there is a good range of cases for the students." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The school is in Detroit where there are a bunch of abandoned buildings and broken street lights so not a place you feel completely safe to roam around. Being on the campus is safe, but I don't think the surrounding area is. Many students drive in from surrounding suburbs. School closes completely at 10pm, so no late night studying on campus" Report Response
