I graduated from OSU dental school in 2003. It was probably the worst educational institution I have ever been to. Maybe it's because I was a minority? I don't know. But I had this clinic director who gave me the hardest time about treatment done signed by another professor and eventually even took away my patients. At that time I thought she was just attacking me for the sake of attacking me. I somehow got through but that was very tough experience for me not to mention it felt very much like non educational.
