i'm applying to: NYU, Case, Nova, BU school of dentistry, and Marquette!! why, in general they have a very vigorous curriculum what will train you well as a future dentist. And of course each of the schools has it's own features...

Likes: Tuition/cost of living relative to other private schools in the area, the clinical experience, the envirnment ( many upperclassmen help out), the fact temple eases you into the curriculum ( first sem was easy, 1st year was not bad), the relatively new dean ( past 5 years) with the new renovations, and innovative thinking..a faculty member had told me the dean highly supports the students and I know that from personal experience as well. One quality I really value is the care the administration has towards the students, you really feel that they want you to succeed and won't just kick you out or make you repeat a year without first helping you with an issue. We have class capture= lectures are recorded and posted online for students to view later, this is huge help in case you are "sick" and don't attend class or want to review. I really like that most classes are not mandatory. It provides students with flexibility to chose to learn at their own pace if they chose so.

Dislike: the immediate location, BUT...its not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, broad street(where the school is located) is safe and there is an adequate amount of security in the area. What I do like about philly is that you can live in center city, pay about $700-1200/person, or live in the suburbs ( which is only 10-20 min from school) and pay $350-1000/person. You could keep your cost of living very low while still living in a great/safe area with the city nearby.
 
Thank you so much

Makes me like Temple already! :)
