USUaggie said:USC has a better football team. Then again, if you go to LLU you could form a football team and be on it and play against USC. LLU Ninja Pirates!
I didn't apply to USC so I don't know anything about them that hasn't been mentioned already. I am looking forward to LLU's service missions - once a month they go to mexico and then in the summers to places like Fiji, Philippines, Guatemala, etc. You pay 1/3 of the cost and the school covers the rest. Next year at this time you could be practicing dentistry in mexico!
I think I'd prefer LLU's location. All the city attractions are an hour away so it's not bad for the weekend, but at USC you wouldn't have time during the week to go clubbing or bar-hopping anyway. Classes get out early friday so I plan on putting my surfboard (which I don't have yet) in my truck (also need to purchase) and heading to the beaches.
Religion -RiversideS13 said:....Also you might end up to study alot of SDA believe and bibles in order to do well in religion classes..... Most of students i knew lost lots of weight in D1 and D2....
USUaggie said:Also, with Mexico missions being offered every month throughout the whole 4 years, I doubt that the 3rd and 4rth year students take all the spots. I was informed that freshman go too. The fact that they have this program established and most other schools don't would mean a much greater opportunity to practice dentistry earlier.
budge311 said:Ok, I've heard a lot of rumors about the "alumni power" of USC and that you have the best connections. Does anybody have any actual proof of this? What does that mean anyway? How can that help you if you are a dentist trying to start a business?
My dad graduated USC dental in 78' and I've NEVER heard him say anything that there is this sort of USC advantage or something like that.
First off, I'm not a complainer, so that probably won't happen. On the other hand, I might try throwing a complaint out there for the sake of watching you get a shovel, place all of your instruments on it, and then......RiversideS13 said:....so in the future if i hear you complain in class, i am going to shovel my dental tools into your ass.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't know much about USC (except that Norm Chow is a genius offensive coordinater). That's cool that they offer those too.EyeAmCommi said:My dentist came from USC and she got the same deal. She went to Mexico and worked at a mission in Tijuana and got to go to Puerto Rico to do more charity work. This is not exclusive to LLU. Mexico is just convenient and because the people there are grateful to get any work done. Don't be misled by the idea of "studying abroad."
