What impressed you positively?

"The faculty Dr. Davis and Dr. McManus are two very honest and dynamic people, and they both happened to be pediatric dentists. I always dreamed about becoming a pedo because I love kids, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to have an education in Columbia. When they talk I feel they set an example to me because I like to teach as well. Maybe I will end up being an educator just like them later on who knows:). The clinics are actually pretty good, spacious and much better than expected. I’m the only one from Las Vegas and everyone is like hey that’s a fun place to stay! " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It's wonderful overall. I arrived a day earlier to check out the place and didn't know what I was going to experience until the day. Faculties were nice and we were even taken on a tour to the dorm, where we got to see the beautiful view through the window! The curriculum are very tough according to every single one and they are very honest about it, if you are not up for challenge or not wanting to pursue specialty then go somewhere else. Columbia is a place for smart individuals who seek for an opportunity to be a specialist. " Report Response
