I know this question has been asked before, but I wanted to get a more updated version of people's answers (the other one was maybe 10 years ago).
While in dental school, do you have ANY free time whatsoever?
I've been hearing from some friends in D1 and D2 that they basically eat, sleep, and breathe dentistry. Nothing else.
I know this is the required mindset to do well in dental school, what with the long class times and insane amount of credit hours. Although, I find it hard to believe that there is literally NO time leftover to do things that keep you sane.
Would I have time to go to the gym, maybe take the bike out for a spin, catch up with some friends, or even just have time to be a couch potato and regroup after a stressful week of classes?
Just want to get a better idea of what to expect in a year or so, if (and hopefully when) I get accepted.
Thanks everyone!!!
