[QUOTE="omaralt, post: 10672064, member: 44509"] sorry about the late reply; i'm going to paste your question here for everybody to see: Hi Omaralt, I was wondering if you could share with me about your experiences at Nova and those of your colleagues. I'm under the impression that the first 2 years there will be quite fun (as dental school goes), but the last 2 years in clinic will be brutal trying to get it done, especially w/ the economy and patients etc. I've also heard that the S. Florida area is saturated and so many students go for AEGD and GPRs to hide it out. I'm grateful to any help you can offer. Do you practice in FL? -SimpleJack 1- about the first two years being fun; it's just like any other dental school; lots of studying and lab work. however, during your free times your in south florida, not middle of nowhere iowa. so ya it is a lot more fun than most other locations. the beach is 10 mins away, you have downtown miami 30 mins away, etc. it's a fun place to be. my personal experience were that the last two years were easier. i didnt mess around my 3rd year (as many people do) and finished the majority of my requirments during 3rd year. so 4th yr i had more free time to concentrate on part II boards, licensure exams, and finding a job. i cant imagine being stressed out about requirements and boards/licensure, etc there are plenty of willing patients here; the school did (still does?) have a problem getting them to you. i would see patients come off the street to become patients and the front desk would tell them that the waiting list is closed and to come back in 3 months! all this when many of my classmates were desperate for patients. i dunno if its the same way now. s. florida is definitely saturated with dentists (like any major city) but there are jobs if you really want to stay there; a few of my classmates are working there; mostly for the chain clinics. i moved up to tampa where it's a lot better overall i had a great time at nova; the school could definitely be better; but any school can. at the end of the day the school just gives you a degree and the foundation of what you need; the rest is up to you. it's really what you make of it and your attitude. some of my classmates were the happiest people you'll meet while others were miserable. it's difficult to be miserable in s. florida [/QUOTE]
