Hey Y'all!
Saying how we just finished our first semester of dental school, I wanted to post this to see how much tuition typically goes up yearly as you progress through dental school. Plus, people can go back to this in the future and too see what dental school cost in 2023. I am currently a D1 at Roseman (3-year program), and here is the breakdown of my expenses.
D1 year:
Living Expenses: (per month)
Total expenses for D1 year = $124,712 (yikes)
Expenses for D2 tuition, fees, etc. below:
D2 year: w/% increase/decrease
Living Costs: Assuming my D2 year will cost around the same $20,000 living costs.
Total D1 + D2 = $250k
I'm not sure what D3 cost will be yet, but it looks like it is very comparable to D2, so assume another $130k, considering tuition increasing by 4.5%.
Estimated tuition = $86,754 + $90,650 + $94,729.25 = $272,133
Total dental school cost = $380k for the 3-year program at Roseman.
Dental School is way to expensive
