Some schools are approaching the 1/2 million mark for the cost of dental education. For most private schools, there is no difference in the cost for residents or non residents.

Thanks Doc! Going to dental school is like buying a house.
By the way, what's PR?

UNC isn't on there because of the housing expenses or something. Its there down below in the detailed year by year breakdown of costs, but there are no solid numbers for it due to the varying expenses.
I spent 4 years as a UNC undergrad and can tell you that rent varies in Chapel Hill. If you room with several people you can get rent as cheap as $500/month. By yourself you could be upwards of $1500/month.
If you do your research you can definitely find some places for relatively fair prices. My buddy had a one bedroom apartment and spent $600/month. On a bus line. And it was a fairly nice community.
This is great, Thank you! Is Western wrong on the totals? It seems like all the other schools have living costs factored in but Western does not?
Are there errors in this spreadsheet? Some schools 4-year totals include cost of living, while other schools don't. Ex: Colorado does not include cost of living.EDIT: There's something funky in general with CO sponsored vs. non-sponsored. Do you have a version with the formulas still in there?
Not meant as an attack, just thought there were some inconsistencies.With that many numerals in the spreadsheet, there are bound to be "errors". Since you are so concerned, why not make it your crusade to check all the numbers? Think of it as part of your EC. As for Colorado, unless your file is corrupted, wouldn't that be line 155? The only school that does not have the living expenses listed is Roseman. The formulas have not been deleted from the file, so you should be able to find them.

The formulas are still present, but only the ones for adding the annual totals together. There are no formulas for totaling the columns (e.g. tuition, fees, instruments, living expenses), they are just values. Could be my error, but when I use a formula to add those, I get different numbers than your totals in many cases.
The 2013 figures will not be available until the 2014 ADEA Guide to Dental Schools is published, which is usually is around the end of February.Is there a 2013 spreadsheet like this that anyone has made? This is so helpful/convenient.
It's not like the "students" you speak of are models of walking accountancy. The figure you quote does not appear to reflect the numbers available through the link you provided.UDM (Mercy) tuition fees are not correct!

I asked the students who attend too. It is about $300,000
Apparently ds and everyone else has it wrong since they seem compelled to include an "estimated" living expenses in calculating the cost of education.Well, if you include the housing fees into the calculation then your figure may have validity to it, but housing fees can be variable for individual students. The actual tuition fees on the website are $71,502/year X 4 = 286,000. Now your figure is @ 330. How did you come up with that?
