These are both schools that haven't had a graduating class yet. Which would you choose?
 
I can't speak for Roseman, but I loved Western. They had tons of student groups, a nice inter-professional campus (with nice facilities), and their D4 will feature rotations a lot like ASDOH (around the state). They also had good perks for military scholars, etc. When I was on their campus, I felt like I was just touring any old dental school, not just a newer dental school. Also, I feel like the Inland Empire is a better place to live than Utah. Price of education probably comparable.

Ditto. Im choosing western for these reasons as well. Seemed like a very solid program with satisfied students. Cant speak for Roseman as I never applied there.

Roseman is more expensive than Western. It really depends on what you are looking for. I am a current D1 at Roseman. The program is different than a lot of other schools. Don't compare them just by saying they are both new. Western is a few years older, and I'm assuming they've worked out the kinks in the program. Roseman is still in its infancy and there are a lot of issues to work through. You have to be prepared to deal with the fact that not everything will work smoothly. On the other hand, you have a direct say in how the school will develop. If you want to get a good idea of what Roseman is about, read their Educational Philosophy page http://www.roseman.edu/node/116.

As for where the schools are located?? Utah is amazing. I'm from the east coast and I've lived in Baltimore, Philly and Pittsburgh for the past 8 years. There's no beach, but who cares? The mountains are literally right in front of you. The LDS culture isn't all that bad. A few weird rules but overall I love it here. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
