"The student facilities are unbelievable. There are 6 or 7 different student gyms you can choose from, huge turf fields to do whatever on, and Olympic pools. If you are active, love to go out, play sports, or be social, OSU is a great school."
"Having to stop and call maintenance in the middle of drilling a cavity preparation because my high speed’s water stopped working just makes you want to burn the entire school down. Our current clinic is a disaster."
"Some are really difficult if you are striving for an A. Getting B’s isn’t too difficult. And if you just care about passing (I’m not judging; I would love to get C’s if I wasn’t specializing), you’ll have a lot of free time."
What are the best things about attending The Ohio State University College of Dentistry?
I am currently about to finish my third year at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. I’m out of the woods as far as tough classroom studying goes, but am neck deep in trudging through clinical requirements. So, I’ve been able to see almost every side of the dental school experience OSU has to offer. As a preface, in my personal opinion, take reviews of any dental school with a grain of salt. Even the one you’re reading now. You never know if the stress a student feels is more self-inflicted or a result of a poor program.
