Post:
School 1: BU
Pros:

• Great location, Boston!
• great school reputation
• only 2 year ( international dental program)
• tuition is cheap 220k, plus living might be near 300k

Cons:

• only 1 year to see patients
• big class size 100
• living expensive

School 2: UNMC
OOS
Pros:

• very friendly faculty
• small class size, only 4 , will be integrated to the D3 Class
• living costs reasonable
• 2 year to see patients

Cons:

• tuition+ living 340K
• quite, not too much fun to do (like roller coasters , shows)
• 29 months

I am living in CA, right now not sure I want to become a specialist or not.

Yes, I got accepted to both.
I have family( my husband and kids) and they will stay in California at least during my first year in school

If boston is only 24 months I would probably choose that program. Save yourself 5 months of school + it will cost less as well. The only thing is the flights from Boston to Cali will be long.

100 IDP students along with all the regular students?
no thanks...

Yeah, the flight is painful. Thanks for the input!
