The purpose of this study was to examine the selection factors of college students in the region of Busan for dental institution. A survey was conducted by visiting the selected students in September, 2013, and an online survey was additionally conducted. The answer sheets from 300 respondents were analyzed. They relied on their past experience(3.85) in terms of information search, and they took considerations on how long it took to get to the dental institution(3.97) in terms of traffic convenience. As for physical environments, they gave priority to cleanness(4.66). Concerning the image of dental institution, they took reputation into account(4.25). In terms of external qualifications, they placed importance on the academic credential of dentist(3.22). As to dental service for the selection of dental institution, they gave weight to dentist ability(seven). In regard to basic elements, they took considerations on treatment cost(4.12), and they especially placed the most importance on dentist ability. The male and female students gave 4.32 and 4.48 respectively to dental service for the selection of dental institution, and the gender difference was significant. Among the selection factors of dental institution, there was a weak positive correlation between traffic convenience and physical environments, between physical environments and the image of dental institution and between dental service and basic elements. Therefore various efforts should be made to offer quality medical service by keeping track of what's considered in choosing a dental institution.
