Ask me anything! Finishing up my 1st semester of D2 year

Are you fulfilled at PENN (that is, as much as a dental student can be while in school)?

 

[somefuturedoc]

Did you choose Penn for the specialty school reputation/are you planning to specialize?

 

[pre-DMD]

How available are research opportunities with faculty? Is it tough to get involved D1 or D2 year? Is research common at Penn?

 

[DMD12345]

What’re some things a young and naive d1 should know about Penn?

 

[happyosborne]

How often have you been able to visit family/friends back home? (Not sure if you’re instate or OOS or if going back home was important to you).

 

[FIoating]

What's the curriculum like for the first year?

Can you corroborate the following quote about UPenn? Does attending UPenn really feel like soaring on a majestic unicorn through the billowy clouds looking down upon the common folk with utter contempt? Asking for a friend.

My mom works at a hospital; is it a great feeling when I meet one of her colleagues and get to say I go to Penn and they're highly impressed? Uh, yeah, it never gets old. Did it feel great when the oral surgeon I assisted introduced me to all of his dentist and surgeon colleagues throughout the semester and without fail said/bragged to them that I go to Penn? 100%. The whole "no one cares about the Penn name" is dramatic nonsense.
