I have been accepted into Creighton and invited for an interview at ASDOH. I am wondering if I should go.

How do the schools compare? I am looking for characteristics beside cost

I am from California

Creighton is an older facility however a brand new dental school is being built and will be completed by the time I would start my second year of school there.

What's the cost difference?

Creighton! Cheaper, much lower cost of living, and by the time you start clinical work you'll be in the newest facilities in the country! Their patient base is massive and there arent residents to take up your specialty cases. Omaha is a cool city too.

Didn't interview at ASDOH though so I can't compare outside of cost, which I would argue should be the #1 factor in choosing anyway. Biased though, as I'm going to CU

Both are pretty similar
Creighton is ~380k for 4 years including living expenses and fees
ASDOH is ~ 392K for 4 years including living expenses and fees

I haven't seen Creighton but personally I didn't like the vibe of the ASDOH campus(Although the students seemed very nice!), school seemed to be sprung up in the middle of no where, it was kinda clear that this school caters more to commuters and non-traditonal students. That may be something you like but for me it wasn't a dream fit... but I guess I can't be picky with the outcome of this cycle... just my two cents

mm...... ASDOH is more like $470k when you factor in costs of living and interest on loans. My vote is with Creighton.
