So I was just wondering what kind of amenities different dental schools offer.. I can only speak for the three texas schools, but I'll start with what their student lounges consist of:

(off memory so someone can correct me if I'm wrong)

Baylor: a student lounge with a couch, TV, ping-pong table, and a foosball table

Houston: foosball, couch, tv

San Antonio: can't remember

I remember seeing a nice lounge at Temple ... apparently the foos get pretty intense ...

Colorado had the nicest that I saw. Followed by marquette and nova.

Midwestern was pretty solid. There was a rec building with a ping-pong table, pool table, plasma screen, and a lot of room. That was for the gated on-campus housing community. The building where the cafe is also had a pool and ping-pong table.

Tufts has a ping-pong and full-size pool table in the Posner Hall lounge with a TV and a bunch of space. There's also a gym. The lounge in the school has a television and plenty of space, but I don't think I saw any other games or amenities other than food.

NYU's was huge... dont remember what was in it. Penn's was big too with a tv and couches i think. Buffalo was old and horrible. Stony was small, old, with ping pong table. Most schools did not show a lounge if I remember.

UT-Mem has a pretty decent student lounge with several couches, computers, two plasma/lcd tv's, some study areas, and on a different floor there was an arcade room with billiard tables. Apparently only students are allowed in this lounge...no faculty or staff.

I do remember Buffalo having a very nice library ... rich in history

The Buffalo librarian was super into the libs. It was half funny and half boring on the tour. The main study room was nice though.

San Antonio is renovating the old labs to make a new lounge.

We are also getting a Spectrum Fitness Center which is opening June 1st.

Yea.. she was going on about the reading room and I was like is this serious? No one cares this much about the school's library and when it was restored and what not.

UNLV has 2 ping pong tables, one was referred to by the student guide as the "crap" table, and the other was the "good" table they bought from craigslist. They both looked like tables to me, but these guys are ping pong coniseurs apparently 😛 It's located in a completely unfinished concrete room that is very strangely out of place. I asked why it existed, and they made a joke out of it, so I don't know the real answer 😛 I don't think they showed us a lounge other than that. I suppose one of the buildings has a big open area with tables where students were hanging out, but it was part of a corridor, not an enclosed room itself.

well NYU has pool table, foozball, 2 HDTV's with cable and many many comfy couches. Also has many tables and chairs if the cafeteria is full and you have no place to sit and eat.
