I have been accepted to Pitt, Maryland, and am waiting on Penn. I was wondering what the current dental students or grads at Pitt think about the program and the city life. Penn just seems too expensive and I feel that Maryland is going to have a lot of bugs to work out with their new building and their paperless scheme for the first couple years. Has anyone seen the layouts of the inside of the new building? I can just find the architect's exterior graphics, I was wondering what the simlabs might look like. Also any thoughts on these schools compared to Pitt.
i was accepted to both pitt and umd (ddi not apply to penn).
im attending umd. the new building is going to be awesome, i mean im sure there will be a few kinks, but by the time you get into the clinical, there will be zero and you will have access to the most modenr facility in the country. also, in my opinion baltimore is a way better place to sepnd your next four years, dont get me wrong, pitt is nice, but baltimore kicks a** compared to it.
also, i became a bit leary of upitt when they highlight their new gym as part of the tour. i mean cmon, im going to make a decision based on a new gym?
just my two cents. both are very good schools.
