USC Dentistry

[lalala15]

Hi guys wanted to share a personal opinion. advice: I would choose any other dental school in the US but USC dental school, and just wanted to warn other prospective applicants. I've gone to good academic institutions prior to attending USC dental and will admit it was the absolute worst decision of my entire life. The cost is beyond absurd and you do not get a quality education. Teaching was non-existent, faculty were biased and some faculty were completely unethical and unknowledgeable in my personal experience. I was always wondering where the tuition money went because I was mostly learning from YouTube videos. It is crazy expensive. Additionally, in recent years, they screw over many students from graduating. Most of us come in being straight A students our whole lives and take out a whole lot of loans to attend. It is not worth it, if I could take one decision back in my life it would be attending USC dental. So just as a personal take, go to any other dental school except for USC. You'll save your life. If you want to be in southern california: UCLA, Loma Linda, and other schools around here will give you a better dental education for a lower price.

I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience, fortunately for me, I had a completely different experience at the University I attended. I highly recommend the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) School of Dental Medicine to anyone considering dental education. It’s the most affordable dental school in the United States, and from what I’ve seen, it probably offers the most hands-on clinical experience with really personalized attention.

One of the reasons for this is that UPR was the only dental school on the island for many years, and there’s a real shortage of dentists in Puerto Rico. Sometimes people have to wait up to a year for a private dental appointment, so a lot of patients turn to the university for treatment. The demand is so high that even the residents can’t take on all the cases. As a result, many complicated cases end up being treated in the general clinic, where students get to work closely with specialty professors.

In my opinion, UPR is an incredible place to get a dental education, and I definitely recommend it.
