Past students at NYU dental school told me in 2001 that I should not go to nyu dental because it is a bad school. However, I didn't listen and end up at nyu dental school recently. Now, nyu dental school is boring me to death with their childish education. More than 3/4 of the lecture materials are garbage. NYU dental school surely knows how to over-charge students and throwing at the students with a trashy education.
Many professors at NYU dental school are boring and uneducated. They lectured materials for two hours which can be learned in less than 1/2 hour. Some professors gave out terrible notes (mainly pictures without words). A few go even further by not giving out any lecture material at all. Now I ask myself, why the hell I paid so much money to the school, so that I have to work so hard just to write down note? These uneducated and uncaring professors are torturing the students and they are happy about it. When you need the staff any help, they would not care because they would say the school is too large so they won't have time for you. What the f*ck am I paying the money for then when I need help? Some professors brag about being on TV, but they are obnoxious in person and waste more than half of your time with unnecessary talk and lectures. When exam come, some of them will pull out questions from their ***** and not from what they taught thru their mouth. It's a guessing game. The school select top students who can endure their boring lectures and enjoy wasting their life away learning mateirials that are not clinically relevant. Out of 20 professors, you probably have only two real professors who don't waste your time with unnecessary materials. One of the exceptional professor is from NYU medical school. He is excellent because he teaches relevant information that is necessary to treat a patient. The school also has exams every week to torture the students after the long boring and trashy lectures. I was so happy before going to dental school, now I am so depressed and mad because I ended up at the worst teaching and uncaring school. So much money wasted and so little education. Don't be a fool just by listen to the people who showed you around NYU dental school because they lied to you about the good stuff at nyu dental. I am ashamed to go to nyu dental school. Nothing to be proud about being taught by many stupid and uncaring professors at nyu dental school.
This is 2009.
p.s. If you are curious about my undergrad and dental gpa: it's above 3.5. Grade doesn't mean **** when the school is wasting your life away with trashy education. NYU's lousy dental education is the reason why many nyu dental students don't do well in labs and exams. The lectures are so boring, so the school made mandatory attendance for some classes. If you can't get in dental school, wait and reapply to other dental school besided NYU dental.
