"You have to be on top of staying busy as you schedule your own appointments, and cannot rely on the front desk to assign you patients or schedule you appointments."

What are the best things about attending Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine?

In my opinion the single best thing about attending Nova Southeastern University is the student body. The admissions does a great job at selecting students with personalities that mesh together. The environment of NSU is overall very friendly. There is not a single person in my class that I dislike. This was not something I expected at all entering school. All of the D2, D3, and D4 students are extremely willing to help, and are constantly asking if we need help with anything. I don’t feel or notice any real competitive environment between my classmates as everyone is willing to help each other daily. Having a student body that is welcoming and helpful made me feel at home within the first few weeks.
