If classes are three days a week in person for instance, can rsdm change it to 5 days a week mid-semester if the coronas virus situation gets better?

I'm trying to figure out if I should cancel my spot at the dorms but Rutgers gave us until this June 29th to decide to cancel for free.

RSDM will do whatever it wants. You are obligated to be there

Are the 180 West Market st. apartments going to be available this fall? Someone told me Rutgers is closing their dorms and I contacted the housing director a week ago and he/she hasn't gotten back to me

That’s a false rumor. Maybe that only applies to undergraduates in the New Brunswick campus. Never heard anything like that for dental.

In the packet we got on interview day there is a sentence that mentions in 2018 there were 122 graduates (page 5) but there has always been a class size of 90 students. Does anyone know why this is just wondering?

International students?

 

[Mrs.Gingivitis]

I figured international students were included within the 90 class size.

I figured international students were included within the 90 class size.

About 90 domestic + 30 international students (added in 3rd year)

 

[Lakers2324]

Is there a deadline to apply for the dorms? I wanted to see if I can apply mid-semester or not because it is not clear how many days we will be on campus

Your email list is now live. You should have recently received an email about student health insurance today.

At school, use the email address that is [email protected]. We never use the scarlet mail address.

Just buy one. Really doesn’t matter which loupes you buy, as long as they are comfortable.

Christine said that they need to be shipped to our homes or picked up from Uniform Creations because we need to arrive wearing them the first day.
