What made you pick ECU over UNC?

The $60k price difference, logistics of the day-to-day at each school, recommendations of dentists I shadowed, and my interactions with each school. At ECU you basically do a mini-residency your fourth year and you gain a lot of experience working in the CSLCs. Also, ECU just seems way more tuned in with their students and I really respect the administrators and faculty who help create that environment.

ECU is also still developing its curriculum and I think that will be very beneficial with the new boards coming up

I agree. They’re taking it very seriously. Integrating all classes, really simulating the new NBDEi with their exams. I’ve heard no complaints about the program.

I suppose for me to answer properly I need to know why is that interesting to you?
In short, I believe I will leave UNE a better general dentist than I would if I attended Boston; plus my husband and I aren't city people.
