why do dental students take so many hours compared to other professional students?! i was talking with a pharmacy student and they take 18 hrs their first semester. i was also talking with a med student and he was astonished when he heard what all we are taking. (all of us go to univ. of oklahoma) We dental students are taking 25.5 hrs this first semester.... and we already took 5hrs (gross anatomy) in the summer so that the fall semester wouldnt be too hard!!
also, if doing anatomy in the summer was to make the fall easier then why the hell throw in so many more classes. they said that anatomy used to be in the fall here at OU...if that were the case it would make 30.5 hours for the students to take....theres no way anyone could handle that much. so i know theyre adding bs classes....probably so they can charge more tuition, under the guise of making it easier for us on the boards.
any thoughts?
