"The worst thing about NYU is its administrative and didactic disorganization. This disorganization has become increasingly frustrating in recent years."
"NYU’s clinical experience is nothing short of intensive and extensive; first year students spend a minimum of three days each week in lab performing various preparations and restorations."
"The school’s preclinical areas are only large enough for one-quarter of the incoming class at a time. While this is not an issue during normal lab hours, it becomes a big issue once practical examinations begin."

What are the best things about attending NYU College of Dentistry?

NYU’s greatest strength lies in the large scope of both clinical and research opportunities provided to students. NYU’s clinical experience is nothing short of intensive and extensive; first year students spend a minimum of three days each week in lab performing various preparations and restorations. Students are also concurrently attending lectures each week involving the nature of these preparations, restorations, as well as tooth anatomy and development. It is a rigorous introduction into operative dentistry as well as the oral cavity. While at times this amount of operative experience can be overwhelming, it is an invaluable experience. The sheer amount of exposure and practice you receive is impressive and you will feel confident in your understanding of every type of preparation and restoration taught to you within your first year.
