<p>I am choosing between University of the Pacific's accelerated dental program (3+3) or USC's biology program but got Spring Admission. Can anyone give me their opinion on these two schools? With University of the Pacific I can finish college in 3 years, while USC takes 4 and I may have to go to a community college for the first semester. Without taking financial into account, what would college life be like at these two different schools?</p>
<p>College life is great at USC. I am a freshmen and its just unbelievable. My roommate is pre-dent here and apparently we have a great dental school, though you might know more than I. The spring admits this year by no means regret choosing USC; waiting is by far worth it. I have a friend who is at u-pacific as well and she enjoys it but I know nothing of it to be honest. Good options, but if financial aid is not the problem I think that the USC experience is something not to miss.</p>
<p>UOP dental program should win out here if you really want to be a dentist - you’ll get out 2 years earlier than other DDSs and save on tuition. Frankly, it’s UOPs best bargain. Classmate of my D went last year from well regarded SoCal prep school. You don’t need to wait around for USC; get down to business quite literally.</p>
