# 3 It Cost How Much, (or how little)?

1982

 

This was surprising.  Below is what it cost to get our DDS degrees.  I think we can all agree the ROI was not too shabby.  Totals range from $60,000-75,000 for tuition, supplies, equipment and living expenses. (Not including trips to Las Vegas.)  In talking to recent graduates, they are looking at loans totally from $300,000 to over $500,000!  Ouch, will there be a ROI?

 

 

BUT, in perspective, this is what we were charging our patients, and a comparison to what dentist were charging their patients in our Sophomore year.
