I KNOW vet school is no walk in the park---I know it's occasionally not quite so bad for some as it is for others, but it's definitely a TON of work and a TON of stress.
But I'm also wondering if, compared to vet school, undergrad is any more difficult? Right now, I'm an upperclassman animal science major who's also of course juggling the prereqs for vet school. Lately I've just been feeling worn down, unsatisfied, and completely hopeless because it's like I've GOT to study to do well, but I never have enough time to study everything.
And I KNOW vet school is very very similar--exams every week along with juggling everything else for classes and labs and like not starving to death or rotting from your own stench lol. But vet school, the actual medicine aspect you've spent so many years and tears working toward isn't struggling with actual classes like organic chemistry and physics and random economics classes that you don't want to be taking ever.
YES, I know what you learn in undergrad carries over into medical/vet school, but honestly it's the overall aspect of the classes, and often not the nit-picky details that you were required to know for the exams in those classes.
So...what would you say? Would you say, in some crazy way, vet school is easier and more enjoyable than undergrad??
