Hi guys!
I need some help to decide which school to go to. I luckily accepted into Nova, Case western, and UDM, but I am having a hard time to decide which school. I'm in So Cal, so I enjoy the weather in Florida better than other schools.
But from the interviews at case western, and UDM, I like them both. I like the UDM facility, and uDM has strong clinical. Case western has small class size and everyone is so friendly, feel very welcome. But quite hesitate to decide because of the location. for me, safety is the next big thing to decide, beside cost and curriculum... Please help me. Thank you so much.

I'd go for UDM. I think you'll know more about dentistry after 4 years there over the others. The sheer amount of cases and procedures you do at UDM surpasses a lot of other schools (from what I understand). It's up there with NYU and Temple.

Nova can't compare with either case or UDM. Go to wherever is cheaper between UDM and Case.

but now, they double the class size, which means there are not many cases for each students. (correct me if im wrong)

Eh, the place is always packed. I wouldn't worry about it.

To the OP, I'd just go where it's cheapest unless the prices are very close or your family is near one of the schools.

do you know how heavily is the pbl in the curriculum?

Case barely uses a pbl system. it's just a hybrid pbl system that is slightly used in their first year (a little in the second).

Yup. A little PBL actually is very helpful in getting you ready for boards. Board questions consist of a lot of cases. And Case is still mostly traditional style lecture curriculum.
