some of the advantages of the dentistry program i am enrolled in are (1) the rigorous teaching curriculum associated with the medical school which provides a solid background in basic medical sciences, (2) the proximity of the dormitory to campus because it is right across the street from the road, (3) the enthusiasm of teachers and students for learning, which allows for great interaction between us, and (4) the pass-fail curriculum, which creates a sense of camaraderie that has established itself in us as we all let’s go through the year together and help each other. some disadvantages include (1) the location away from the school’s main campus, which doesn’t look like part of the larger university as a whole, but gives us easy access to all of boston’s major hospitals and (2) a focus away from the same dental profession in years 3 and 4 of the program. “
