Hi guys, I'm trying to decide between Temple and Tufts. Money is not a huge factor for me so please avoid saying to pick the cheaper school. I'd like to hear feedback regarding the quality of each program and student happiness/quality of life at each school.I'm from the West Coast so I'll be away from my family regardless of my decision. I'm also interested in specializing, but not sure if I want to yet.

Temple (OOS):
Pros:

• Went to undergrad in Philly (but in the nicer/safer part of the city)
• Have relatives and friends in the area

Cons:

• Temple Dental is in a bad area of Philly

Tufts
Pros:

• Loved Boston and Tufts facilities
• New area to explore

Cons:

• Much colder than Philly

(Please don't forget to include why when suggesting which school you would choose! Any insight is helpful)

I am not sure if this is still the case, but when i was applying in 2016/2017 there was a big issue at temple. Something about the faculty and staff clashing with the administration over the curriculum and graduation requirements. May not be an issue any longer, but I would look into this before committing either way.
