Guest qw1222 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 What is the course load of first year students like? Is it 9-5pm. How much homework/practice a day is recommended? I was thinking of working while attending dental school. The work isnt a lot, its 6 hours a week spread 2 days, but it does pay for rent! I was wondering if it is possible to WORK and get pretty good marks. I went to undergrad at UofT, and I know how difficult they make your life here...

Guest TheRetardedOneDDS Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'm sure you could do dental school and 6hr/wk work if you had to. Look at is this way: 1) Very low interest loans are available to dent students. You could work 24 hours a month to pay rent during dental school, or pay with a line of credit now, and then pay it off in 1 hour doing a root canal later. 2) Dental school isn't just about the classes. There are tons of social events, extracurricular activities, and research opportunities you'll be missing out on. Give it a shot. My guess is that you'll quit your job in the first month.

Guest Aplusdent Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 How does the research in dental work? I mean...do you do it during the school year on top of your course load or is it in the summer? Do you get credit/paid for it? How do you get the position, just ask the prof who's in charge of a project you like? I've done some microbio dental research in undergrad, so i was wondering what it's like in dent school.

Guest TheRetardedOneDDS Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 There are lots of research positions available. Some are paid, some are just for the learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
