How do you like UNLV so far? My brother is applying there next cycle and it is his first choice. What are your favorite 3 things and least favorite 3 things about your experience so far?
I'm totally happy I came to school here. Now that we are in the new building and out of the transitional spaces...I can really begin to see how this will become one of the premier dental schools in the country!
Things I like:
1) Faculty and administration are great and have a genuine desire to make this the best school there is for dental education.
2) The new facilities are state of the art...man, this place is beautiful.
3) Curriculum is innovative, great use of technology.
4) You just get an overall sense of community and not one of cutthroat competativeness. Pretty much everyone is totally willing to help each other out.
5) Clinical requirements are not based on a # of procedures done, but rather on competancy. I've thought about both methods and I think this is superior.
Things I don't like:
1) From what I can tell, the things I didn't like are in the past ie. the old transitional space. It made it hard to feel like I was in dental school. One day in the new clinic and that is taken care of.
2) Sometimes faculty seems too nice...I wouldn't mind them taking a harder stance on behavior sometimes.
3) Tuition seems high, but it really isn't when you consider we are getting the BEST of everything. I think the tuition is totally worth it.
4) Nothing else...this place is great!
