| Would Recommend? | maybe | It just depends on what everyone else likes. Everyone has a different mind, but if you are anything like me and you like working alone on a difficult project, love doing hands on, and love being in a smaller school that's not as big as MTSU, then yes, I definitely recommend this school to you! |
| Program Reputation | I don't know the reputation. You'd need to get everyone's opinion. | |
| Program Quality | 6 | It's an alright school; on the smaller side. Nice and friendly, though; great people. |
| Instruction | 7 | I'm learning a lot here. This is a great place to study the field of dentistry. |
| How Difficult | 8 | It's difficult to become the perfect dentist. It's a lot easier to study than to actually perform a root canal or anything else. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Maybe not so much book learning; I'd say average on that. Very hands on. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | You do your own thing; take classes when you want. All times of day. Very flexible, indeed. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | It's a smaller school, at least in Murfreesboro. So it's definitely average; could be better! |
| Social Life | 7 | I'm one of the most school-spirited people ever! I attend everything that I can. |
| Placement Services | 6 | They are somewhat helpful. They do what they can. |
| Alumni Network | 6 | Pretty good all around! |
