Columbia students at NYU

Members do not see this ad.

Someone told me that Columbia's students come to NYU to get their work done when they get the student insurance. I said this is not possible bec they have their own dental school and probably go there. Well I was wrong, they do come here.

Does anyone know why Columbia would not service their own student population? Wouldn't that be a great way to boost the number of visits to the clinic?

Below is the plan they get:

Stu-Dent Plan
(a program offered by the New York University College of Dentistry)

What type of program is offered?

A voluntary annual membership plan that entitles the enrollee to receive a specified set of services without additional cost during the term of the plan and to obtain additional services at specially discounted rates. Services are provided in a teaching clinic.


Who is eligible to receive services?

Columbia University students as well as spouses, partners and children.


What services are offered?

-diagnostic care
-restorative treatment
-preventive care
-24-hour emergency treatment to relieve pain, swelling or bleeding
-discounted fees for other services: 10-25% off most dental services not included in the plan; 10% off orthodontic treatment

I highly doubt that CU students actually go NYU for work.... (and if they do, they probably know the person there personally). No one I know goes to NYU for work... I know plenty of classmmates that are getting work done here....

and our ortho discount is way more than 10%... i doubt that normal charges are $1100....(since plenty of my classmmates have braces here and said for regular braces it's 1K for students). i don't why our students would go to your school for work.

now i'm interested on where you're getting this info...

ah i thought he meant the dental students...
as far as undergrads... that's like a whole other world from here...

haha...where do you guys dig up this stuff? maybe all this snow = more time to surf the net? but that's a good point: you'd figure columbia would want to keep it's own students to increase revenue/patient pool?

I guess in NYC it doesn't really matter with such huge patient pools available... But up here in Buffalo it's a common complaint among us dental students that other UB students (undergrads and grads from other schools) do not use our services enough.

It's a shame our dental school does not promote our services to the community, especially when we need the patients-- The few UB undergrads I've managed to drag kicking and screaming into our patient pool all needed extensive restorative work and I've gotten goodly amounts of operative out of them. You all know just how crappy a diet most undergrads eat and the kind of hygiene they keep!

Still, I think it's a low-down dirty shame that my undergrad Alma Mater Columbia U. does not promote its own students to utilize its own dental school!

Hmm... Didn't Alec Baldwin graduate from NYU too?

As far as the most famous Columbia graduate goes... It's the dead white man on the $10 bill.

Haha - I was browsing the forums while watching Saturday Night Live. However, I fell asleep at midnight without realizing that the TV was still on and I was still online. I do this quite often actually... I really have to change this habit.
