People seem to really love VCU, but I've never seen it. So, from my experience, Creighton was pretty cool. The clinic floor is like a huge airplane hanger full of dental chairs - quite astounding. Cheap too, for a private school. And, people in Nebraska are just nice in general.
Probably dental ed is similar in a lot of places. I like VCU so much bc of the atmosphere. THe people there are incredible. They do not seem to have the elitist attitude of many schools. I think this is really a school where one can thrive and be themselves rather than who the faculty wants them to be. They are open too to more than the cookie cutter applicant. I think that would open them up to a lot of diversity which I tend to like.
