They both have well respected clinical programs and Case arguably has a better patient pool than Tufts (don't forget there are 3 other schools in Boston!!!). Case is just as established as Tufts and has much smaller class size! Also, who wants to be commuting on the T for dental school? It will just add on to your stress of dental school. Both will give you high a quality education and you will graduate a competent dentist, but living in Cleveland just seems so much more convenient than Boston. Also, Case is not located in a bad area of Cleveland. It is really nice around the campus and you can find affordable housing within walking distance Case hands down 🙂
