Hello everyone!
I have been debating where to go for a while now. I have two options. Temple and Case Western.
Ever since I was a freshman in college, Case Western has been my dream school due to its health education campus and small class size. However, over time, I realized one of the important factors to consider is the COA.
Temple (OOS) tuition is about $77,000 and Case Western tuition is about $83,000. Including the other fees and living expenses, I estimate that the Temple's total COA would be around $100,000 and the Case's would be around $130,000. I'm aware that Temple has a strong clinical reputation, but I can't easily let go of Case Western, since it was the school that gave me the motivation to pursue a career in dentistry during my time in college.
I believe Case has a better facility and location compared to Temple, but the fact that Temple is a little bit cheaper and clinically strong confuses me on what to choose. It would be gratefully appreciated if you share any insights on this matter!
