Current dental students, how did you decide which school to attend?

[TheSandlapper]

I was very worried I wouldn't get in anywhere, now I have received multiple acceptances. With these acceptances I now am lost as to where to attend. I'm trying to decide between MUSC, VCU, and DCG. I already asked for input on the pre-dental page but would like for input from here as well. I would love to hear from any current students, but especially those from the schools I listed.

Isn't DCG one of the cheapest schools in the country?


I'm from Texas and I'm envious of that price tag.

I'm applying for the military scholarship, so if I am selected the cost of tuition won't be an issue. Due to the cost of dental educations I'm sure that is the primary consideration for many, but I would like to hear about the other factors that lead to people's decisions. I was also hoping that students of these schools could share their opinions of the programs as well as the cities the schools are in. I know Charleston fairly well but really don't know Augusta or Richmond so I really feel like I would be going in blind to those cities.

Just looked it up. Wow that is cheap. Honestly that's how much all schools should be around.

Only applied to one. It's in state and it's cheap. Made my decision really easy.
