I'm seriously stuck between both schools. Each of them provides a sense of community( which is a priority for me) and has good clinical skills with being a respected dental school. It's hard for me to decide which one is better. Tufts is 481K vs 430K for Louisville but I am planning on applying for NHSC so that can help I hope. I want to work in community dentistry and both schools prioritize that.
Tufts:
Pro:
- good clinical skills
- Boston has a lot of culture + food
- faculty is receptive and seemed welcoming
- the health and wellness course
Cons:
- living cost
- students aren't in the sim clinic which throws me off
- not sure about their state of the community programs
Louisville:
Pros:
- again sense of community
- my interviewer seemed very nice and I've heard good things about the student-faculty relationship
- not as bougie so its a chill culture
- not as expensive cost of living
Cons:
- kentucky is a red state and as weird as that is, i don't want to fear things because I am a minority
- don't know too much about Kentucky and traveling right now is off the hook
