"I feel like we don’t have enough space to study inside the dental school; we have a student lounge in the dental school, which is very small, but we do not have a study area, and we do not have a library."
"The best things about attending University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine is that the school wants you to succeed and works to accommodate students in every way possible."
"I wish Pitt had more opportunities to get involved in activities outside of and apart from dentistry."

What are the best things about attending University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine?

The best thing about attending University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine is that the school wants you to succeed and works to accommodate students in every way possible. Because we are more than just students, there may be times that our personal schedule does not fit with the academic schedule. In these instances, Pitt cooperates with your schedule so you can make up exams, rotations, quizzes, etc.
