Hi guys, My decision comes down to Pittsburgh or Nova, I love both schools.
I like Pittsburgh because it is a nice city, great environment, low cost of living, great facilities, nice faculty and students. I like Nova because it is by the beach, the weather is just awesome, students are also very friendly and they have great facilities too. So both schools have similar qualities. And they cost the same to me. It's really hard to choose. Can anyone help me out?
I love Pittsburgh the min I arrived the city. It was early Oct and weather was nice, but I dont know how cold and aweful it could get.
I didn't have the same loving feeling when I arrived Fort Lauderdale, but I personally love the ocean and the sunny weather......sigh..I really dont know.
Does anyone know about the reputation of each school?

I don't know anything about Pitt, but here is what I can tell you about Nova.

Cons
I have heard from a reliable source that Nova has run into some financial trouble. Do I think it will affect the quality of your education... No.
Do I think they are gonna go out of business.... Hell No.
There was supposedly a huge cheating fiasco just recently.

Pros
I love Florida... So right off the bat I would choose Nova
You can take your boards after your 1st year which equals more clinical time
I have heard that the dentists coming out of Nova are very up to speed with current technology and good clinically.

I support Pitt maybe because I am going there in the fall. I love Pitt because of all they have to offer as far as their "Selective" classes go. I am excited to and I hope I will have the opportunity to learn how to do implants and general anesthesia. I don't know of many other schools that offer what they have to offer. Pittsburgh is also a great town with a great atmosphere to it. Plus it will cost you a bundle less living there as opposed to Ft. Lauderdale (from what I have heard). Plus I have heard that most students buy very few books over the course of the 4 years that you are there. Some are absolutely necessary and some are good reference books in and out of school. That is pretty much all I have to say.
