Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be accepted into some amazing dental schools with Columbia, UPenn, and UCLA being among my favorites. As I am considering where I enroll, I wanted to ask graduates of these schools if the debt was worth attending that school.
Columbia and Penn are very expensive (I received a 10k scholarship/year at Penn). UCLA is quite a bit cheaper than either of those schools and still has a really good reputation. I know I am a ways away from making this decision, but at this point I am quite sure I want to specialize, most likely in OMFS. That is one reason all 3 of these schools appeal to me so greatly.
tl;dr Columbia and Penn grads: was the debt incurred by your dental school worth it?
