Most Dangerous Campus Environments

Members don't see this ad.

Just thought it would be interesting to see what everyones input is on the most "ghetto" dental schools out there. I read a post about a shooting in front of a dental school, so it just got me wondering.

That was in one of the sketch neighborhoods that are near the school. Nobody has been shot at or in front of the school. I feel safe there and we have a ton of security guards who keep an eye out for shady locals.

Temple, hands down. Apparently, absolutely no one lives within walking distance to school. I know of no other school with that same predicament.

No other school has patients overflowing the waiting area and lining up outside the door either.

I understand that your heart pumps kool aid, and the urban environment scares you, nothing wrong with that. Temple isn't the right school for you. You have established this in all your Temple bashing threads. Give it a rest already.

USC cuz i read that in the past, people have gotten stabbed on campus

I'm pretty sure no school, not even Temple, has patients lining up outside the door. When I visited Temple, the waiting area was pretty empty to tell you the truth. Again, I am not bashing Temple, I am just voicing my opinion. I am not living in some delusional world and if there is something that I mentioned that you don't agree with, I would appreciate it if you specifically noted what I stated that was incorrect.

Thanks.

howard?

Ha! Now that has just a small taste of prejudice in it. But then again, I don't know the crime rates around Howard, it is in D.C., so maybe not.

You know, I found it a bit funny at the time, but at the interview they told us that if you leave school past 9:30, you're highly recommended to call a security escort

I really think a better question is what school's don't have a bad neighborhood around or near campus, I think a majority do.

OHSU, Kentucky, Loma Linda, .......just to name a few

UMich is in a great area. WVU is in a nice area, too.

What do Brian Hahn's balls taste like?

The school where I'm doing my specialty does. I bet Temple does too.

But its for.... EXTRACTIONS!!!! You can train any sh#thead to extract a tooth. Once you've extracted 20 teeth you've extracted a million.

Show me a school that has people lining up to get root canals and crowns; that's where to go.

Wow, you are the coolest. I think it's great when a dentist comes and posts in a predent forum and then backs it up with facts and validity. I just hope I can pay it forward in 4 years.

The schools with the best campuses are NYU and UCLA tied for first, without a doubt.

Temple's dental program neighborhood. make sure you invest in a glock if you decide to go there.

Surely you meant Louisville and not Kentucky (UK)?

That is in need of its own thread.

BTW, why are dental schools in bad neighborhoods? Is it cheap to build there or something?

I've walked to school (Temple Dental), guess that means by definition I live within walking distance, right? It's actually not scary as long as you're not afraid of your own shadow, and this is coming from a guy so white he glows in the dark.

Once you start dental school you'll understand that there is a lot more to be afraid of inside your school than outside.

I worked at Louisville medical center for 8 years and ULSD is just cross the street. It is a safe area as far as I know.

Walking distance, by definition, is a distance between two points that is close enough for you to walk frequently, not something you have simply done a few times. For instance, I have walked from the financial district in NYC to central park (approximately six mile apart) more than 20 times, but no one who is familiar with that distance will consider those locations to be within walking distance of each other. . . smartass.

That was my impression precisely. In fact, I was quite intimidated by the unruly public school students on the train as I was returning to 30th Street station to head home.

 

[dentalaee]

I have been to both, and I would say UCLA is nicer than NYU =)... and yess... I am a little biased here.

MWU got the awesome environment to support their students.

howard?

I find it truly insulting for you to say such but it just show how much of an ignorant dunce you are. And for your information, any area can be violent! From USC to NYU, Anywhere can be violent. So before you go blurting out "Howard?" check the stats 1st.😡

Instead of telling us how insulted you are or your opinion of someone that posts something you disagree with, why not tell us WHY Howard isn't a dangerous school environment? Don't you think that would be time better spent? (not to mention it would actually add value to the thread...)

 

[dentaldawg32]

The neighborhood where Howard is located (Shaw in DC) isn't terrible but its not Beverly Hills, either. There is a decent amount of crime in the area, that's for sure. The majority of DC (NE, some parts of NW, SE, SW) are all pretty much riddled with crime, the only exception really being upper NW, which includes Georgetown, American University Park, etc.

I agree. You should always support your claims with evidence, especially on a forum such as this filled with science-minded people.

The Arizona campus?

surprised no one has thrown up UMDNJ, newark, nj.

Thanks.

As a matter of fact, on many days, UIC has patients lining up well before the school opens waiting in the freezing cold just to get an appointment.

 

[pumpUup]

The Arizona campus?

Yes, the one in Glendale, Arizona.
The only danger in that area is cactus because it can sting people like bees.

Lining up for the doors to open is different from lining up because the waiting area is completely full . . .

Haha, my point was that if they don't get there in the morning before everyone else they will never get in or be seen because there's such a demand! I wasn't saying they are lining up for the doors to open...I was just stating how early you have to be there to even think you'll have the chance of being seen.

I really hope that isn't you in your avatar. The South will RIIIIIISE again, eh? 🙄

Someone asked why so many dental schools are in crappy areas. It doesn't have much to do with the cost of land there so much as the age of the school. When the schools went up they were in nice areas but as the cities grew around them the areas started to decline. In a lot of cases the older the school, the more ghetto the environment. This seems to be a trend with medical schools, chiropractic schools, etc... Palmer Chiropractic in Davenport IA purchases any properties that come available around the school and have, in essence, created a buffer zone between the worst areas and their school.
