"OHSU just hired a new Dean of Academic Affairs and he has been very strict as far as attendance and other matters go. To the point where I forgot to sign the role one day and didn’t find out until the end of the term that I failed the class because of this."
"The school is 12 floors with the sim lab on the 10th floor which makes for great views of downtown Portland, the Willamette river, and the South Waterfront."
"The school seriously lacks diversity. if you are a minoritized student, this program can feel very isolating."

What are the best things about attending OHSU School of dentistry?

There are a lot of things to love about OHSU. First off, the facilities are amazing. The new school was built about five years ago and it is much nicer than any of the dental schools that I have seen in person. Not only is it new, it is very modern and clean. The school is 12 floors with the sim lab on the 10th floor which makes for great views of downtown Portland, the Willamette river, and the South Waterfront. Many dental schools have their sim labs in basements that felt like dungeons. All the nice views make it a little easier to be stuck inside during school. The dental clinics are on the 8th and 9th floors which also makes for great views. Specialty clinics are on the 11th and 12th floors.
