While I was in Pakistan over the summer I visited many dental colleges. I really really liked Lahore Medical Dental College. Its away from the busy Lahore prime area. The campus is really clean and nice, the hostels are of better standard than any US dorms I've seen. Mostly air conditioned. Its pricey, but you really get what you paid for. Everything is beyond typical Pakistani standards. The atmosphere was quite friendly. Its an expensive private college, so you will be hanging around with the elite class. The foreigner tuition is $16,000 USD(The rate I was given).

I DID NOT like DeMont Morency College Of Dentistry, which is a part of King Edward Medical College. The hostels are Anarkali, an old busy part of Lahore. The only thing I heard people like about it is that the first two years are taught in King Edward, which is supposedly a good college.

Other good one in Karachi is Altamash Dental College. The two campus's are in the better parts of the city, one campus in Clifton, and the other in Defense.

I personally dont like Karachi, heard too many bad things about the city...and the load shedding...

If I was going to go to Dental school in Pakistan, I would go to Lahore Medical and Dental College.
