It’s possible that it’s close to full now given that it’s a public school and tuition is on the lower end. But I don’t think it’s completely filled now.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Newark International Airport. Really nice room and reasonably priced and I think about a 20-25 min uber to the dental school. Definitely recommend it

100% Rutgers because of tuition, name, age of program, clinical experience, specialties in house. I was from NY but my family is in NJ so I decided to go to Rutgers for that as well.
