What are the best things about attending University of New England College of Dental Medicine?
UNE has a Pass/Fail curriculum with passing set at 70%. This helps take away competition amongst the class and allows us to foster a strong culture of helping each other succeed. Each class at UNE shares a collaborative Google Drive where people import notes, study guides, recordings of lectures, etc. for everyone’s benefit. While the Pass/Fail curriculum eliminates the stress of striving for perfect grades and getting straight A’s, the school has implemented Letters of Commendation in each course as a way to distinguish students in the top 10-15% of scores in each course.

What are the worst things about attending University of New England College of Dental Medicine?
Since the school is fairly new, the curriculum changes year-to-year as the administration works out kinks in the program. At times the information/structure of some classes can feel disorganized; however, administration takes student feedback HIGHLY into consideration and changes things based on the information/opinions that we provide which is great for future classes.
