Call it crazy, but travel is VERY important for me (really my major joy in life) and I will be choosing a dental school based in part on whether there are sufficiently extended breaks in the class/clinic schedule to work in any long trips. If you attend VCU or Buffalo can you confirm whether I have the break schedule right for these schools, INCLUDING CLINIC? I didn't have the nerve to ask about this during interviews!
BUFFALO...
Winter Break: 12/21 to 1/2
Summer Break: 6/16 to 8/14 summer after D1; 6/2 to 8/14 after D2&3
(these long summer breaks sound too good to be true -- are you in clinic some or all of this time?)
VCU...
Winter Break:
12/2-1/2 for D1; 12/9-1/2 for D2-4
Summer Break:
after D1, 5/4-5/13; then Pathology; then 6/23-7/24
after D2&3: 5/11-5/29; then summer clinic; then 7/7-7/30
