I am writing this review as a former student. This school is absolutely the worst school to study dental hygiene. The management probably made tall claims to get approval from accredition committee and because of that students have to sweat and bleed to pass the course. The school is like someone who has no money but very expensive tastes. They say they have very high standards, bit do little to help you to achieve them. You are on your own there. They are all about stupid rules and paperwork. They have only 20 chairs and they expect you to complete tons of things without enough clinics available. Sometimes, clinical faculty do not show for some reason, which is understandable but students lose valuable little time they have in clinic as their work cannot be checked because there is a faculty member less.

You are expected to bring your own clients, who sometimes cancel last minute or simply do not show up. Your future is in the hands of strangers, if they show up regulalry, with some luck you will pass or fail if too many clients cancel or drop out. It is your loss if it happens as you do not get chair time back that was allotted to you. Students in desperation to complete requirements to pass course pay clients for their time, for their cab rides, and even treatment. It is a pain to find clients as clinic hours are fixed for each group and usually there is always a conflict with clinic time and client's availability. School does very little in getting you clients and is far from enough. They gave me 2 clients from 20-30 km away, which is of no use as clients do not want to travel 2 hours by bus for multiple 2 hour appointments, unless you pay for their cab. Faculty sometimes decide the level of difficulty of cleaning for a client and they have a few times changed the designated level during the course of treatment. It screws up the students plan totally. But if your assessment about difficulty level is totally different from faculty, you get a fail grade. It is strange and unfair that they can fail you on something while faculty members can change the decision of difficulty level that was jointly made with another faculty. You have to make sure faculty transfer grades on your grading sheet or you forfeit the grade even successfully completing the activity. Their explanation is that each faculty has to oversee 6 students. They conveniently forget that even the student has a lot to do in clinic and they can forget too. Why have faculty if they cannot complete their job. Whatever you do, it is your responsibility and your fault if something goes wrong.

This school has tons of rules, and less logic behind them. They make rules to make your life difficult. Education is not meant to be so, so stressful. I can go on and on about how the school made my blood boil and make me pull my hair. If you are thinking about enrolling there, please stay away. My friend who did not listen to my opinion, studies there and she agrees all of this is true. This school will take a toll on your health, and personal life. Faculty and management do not listen to student concerns and act like dictators on what they have decided even if it is counter productive. Dental hygiene education system is seriously messed up. Nothing has changed after I graduated as I still talk to students and they tell me these things.
