"Our school is high tech, with Cerec machines, Omnicams, surgical guides, intraoral cameras, and digital implant planning."
"It can feel like there are never enough faculty since they don’t all show up every week, and sometimes the ones that do disappear, are busy on their phones, or talking to each other."
"It sometimes feels like we are second class citizens to the medical and public health students, even though we all share the same campus."
