With that being said, I need some help guys! I have family in vegas and they would probably help me out a bit on living expense if it matters. Appreciated!
Nebraska isn't too terrible. People are very nice here and Creighton gives you great clinical experience. I'm from Hawaii, but the snow isn't the end of the world.

Thank you guys! Sorry for the late response. I have been busy with all the finals.
Ok, so I have been with the predental society at my school and everyone seems to have strong belief in Creighton for its renowned clinical experience. Upper classmates and some current ones (who are only accepted to Creighton) seriously go for Creighton (well apparently Creighton is their only option). Factor in the tuition, there is not much difference, Creighton would be staying at 240k and UNLV would grant me 260k with in state after first year. However, I have family in Vegas and it seems like living expense is cheaper if I stayed with them. I think I could stand the heat more than the snow in Nebraska. I have not personally visited Creighton, but from pictures that I have seen, the facilities are a bit dated and the clinic is somewhat sketchy. But everyone that I know who goes there seems to be happy about it, they loves the experience they have so far ( they are from New Mexico, so I guess it's similar in terms of weather wise and some other stuff). I'm from CA and my family there, it's only 3 hours drive from Vegas and I'm honestly could see myself better off living in Vegas. During my interview at UNLV, students talk positive things about the school, the curriculum seems to be difficult but totally manageable and such. I just didn't catch that much of a vibe from the clinical work that they have to do, maybe because it was because their slow day? But can someone give me insight about the clinic side of UNLV (possibly compared to Creighton?). Also, I have searched through old thread about UNLV, there were mix reviews, some states students are mostly stressed than laid back and professors are not that nice? (My interviewer was awesome though). Thank you guys and I'm much appreciated your help.
Id go UNLV since its more cost effective, plus I can't see myself living in NE for four years
In terms of hands on experience and in class yesBy clinicals in Vegas, do you mean more of classes or volunteering??
It sounds like they get a lot. First years help out 4th years in clinicIn terms of hands on experience and in class yes
