Hey guys!
I recently got accepted to Illinois's veterinary school, and I still have to interview and hear back from my contract in-state school (Auburn, which I applied to as a Kentucky resident). In no way do I assume or even think I have a chance of getting accepted at Auburn as well, but if I do, I'm worried about how difficult the decision will be. Everybody tells me not to pass up in-state tuition, but I'm not sure how I feel about how isolated Auburn seems, the fact that you have to wear clothes in accordance with a professional dress code everyday just to go to class, or the conservative, southern culture shock that I would face coming from Michigan as an undergrad. Also, Illinois allows you to start clinicals right away, which I would love, and Auburn does not start until fourth year. But I don't know if I want another four years of cold weather at Illinois haha. And I think Auburn is slightly higher ranked than Illinois. What do you guys think?
