What impressed you positively?

"Everybody at the school was in a good mood. Definatley the amount of clinical experience each student gets is awesome. One student said he had probably pulled around 80 teeth. If you go to Temple you will definatley be as experienced or more experienced than any other student from any other school. Philly is an awesome city too, the school is in a bit of a rough part of town but nothing terrible (a school won't have a big patient supply if the school is surrounded by prestine suburbs and golf courses.) There is a one month waiting list, except for emergencies, for treatment at the school - this should tell you the quality of work being performed by the students. The faculty really seemed to be supportive of the students." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The school seemed to be a little beat up...but that is expected with the amount of patients that are taken care of there. (Plus they are planning a rennovation.)" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I thought the school was awesome. I was nervous a few days prior to my interview from reading negative posts about bad equipment and poor facilities. The equipment isn't in brand new shape because it is constantly being used on patients-hence the clinical experience for the students. The same goes for the facilities. The volume of patients treated takes its toll on the building and equipment, which is a great sign if you want to be as clinically competent as possible when you graduate. Brian the tour guide is great and possibly psychic...Everybody at my interview got along really well and things went extremely smoothly. All of the current students were very friendly, helpful and happy to be where they were. I was nervous for my actual interview portion but the interviewer was one of the most laid back people I had met while there. The school is in a perfect location because it can get plenty of patients and it is in Philly which is a really cool city." Report Response
