What are your general comments?

"My personal opinion is that the best way to become skilled in dentistry is to practice dentistry on real people. Temple affords you this opportunity much more than most programs. While fancy simulation labs are nice recruiting tools, I'd much rather work on real people. Everyone of the students that I ate lunch with were excited about being at Temple. You hear a lot about the surrounding area which is bad, but students don't live there anyway. I have several friends who live and go to school in Philly and they all love it. " Report Response
