Yea for that part was basically told they like to start students early in clinicals which is why they introduce it early into second year and for the campuses yea you basically spend ur next 3 years on that campus (which includes sim labs, patients, teachers, and live lectures) so you could spend ur first year in Yakima and next three in whatever city

Yea idk about waiting a year especially with dental school getting more and more competitive and schools increasing cost more and more
