Hi everyone,
I recently got accepted to both OSU and WVU for dental school. I am really torn between the two and I have to make my decision within the next few days.
I come from a small university, with a total of about 3,000 students. WVU is out of state for me, and they only accept 50 students, with about 9 from out of state. I feel really privileged that I got accepted to such a selective class, however I am not sure if I love the campus, how far away from home and friends it is, etc.
On the other hand, I already know students in the dental school at OSU who are upperclassmen, have family in the city, and like the buildings/layout of the campus. I have been hearing numerous crime stories and that is deterring me from that university though. OSU has outdated technology, however, I think I should be learning from the basics to understand and familiarize myself with the technology that dental offices have today.
I really like WVU's small class size, however, OSU students have told me that still have attention from the professors.
OSU is ranked better than WVU's dental school..however, I dont think that I want to be in a program where there is constant competition between students. In the end, each one of us will be a dentist. Comparing the programs, does anyone have any experience with OSU or WVU and the way they are taught, the professors, the amount of free time? Do you always feel overwhelmed with the amount of work?
