Hi everyone,

I also posted this in the dental forum, but is there anyone here that can give me an opinion on these two schools? I got into both but I'm struggling to decide which one to go to.

I'm from NJ so the tuition at UMDNJ would be really cheap compared to Temple. But I kind of remember the preclinic and some of the things being a little on the older side. Has this affected anyone's work? I also really hate Newark, but then again maybe this is something I will adapt and get used to? I also liked UMDNJ bc its closer to home.

Temple is really pricey but I liked the feel of the place. Everything I saw was in pretty good condition and then the clinic is being renovated and will be brand new by the time my class gets there. The immediate surrounding area isn't so great, but I liked downtown Philly.

I know I should be able to get great clinical experience at both schools, but perhaps maybe more so at Temple?

What do you guys think? Can people that are deciding to go to one of these schools tell me why they decided on that school?

Thanks!!
