Glad to hear that the interviews went well!
Some comments in regards to parking:
CSB is $3/day without a pass.
Student parking at McMahon is only available to those with passes.
Passes (good for McMahon and CSB) is $260 or $280 for the school year (can't remember the price exactly, but around there).
We are at CSB 3 days/week 1st year, 2 2nd year and back to 3 3rd year.
I'm too lazy to do the math, but the vast majority have passes.
In regards to where to live....unless you find a place you really like that you don't have to lease until August, I would personally wait. Lots of students will be taking in roommates, so if you're interested in living with another vet student, there's definitely opportunities. The standard advice is to live with people in other years as you'll be spending enough hours in the day with your classmates as it is. If you want to be on your own, then looking a bit earlier is certainly a good idea.
However, I think the choice about having a roommate or not is a personal one. I lived with people all through undergrad and really wanted my own place, so I live on my own. So far, it has been great. It's really what works for you.
me heard thar was a lottery for U of S parkin' passes though. That would suck to not get one.
Can someone clarify those posted U of C parking prices for me...? Do you have to buy a McMahon pass AND a Spy Hill pass, or does the Spy Hill pass cover both? Quickly doing the math in my head, buying both doesn't match what Escalla said about prices. (sorry, end of term might be making me stupid....)
Okay, I get it. Thanks Escalla! (I clearly have end-of-semester brain!!)
Yeah, actually our clinic did quite a few while I was there. I think particular circumstances warrant it; in Sushi's case, she had been snapped in a recliner accidentally, and the head was completely broken off of the femur in such a way that it left no potential for other orthopaedic fixtures. She trucks around really well, but has the slightest bit of a swagger when she walks (that might just be her thing. After all, she is a cat)FHO on a cat? I've never heard of doing that before... cool! Sweet looking kitty!
Am I the only who feels that the wait for June for admission offers (UCVM) is going by so...agonizingly...slow.
They both are! I can't wait till May is over. I still think its horrible that UCVM makes you wait two enitre months! Also, good luck to anyone who still has an interview coming up for WCVM or is waiting for a second round invite =Dthe wait for June WCVM admission offers is going by quite slowly too
for the optics or for genuine remorse, i do not know; but i hope it's the latter I agree it really is unfortunate.I agree, this is an unfortunate story... I'm sure all post secondary institutions are experiencing budget cuts and having to let people go (at least my university was and all of the other post secondary institutions in Alberta, so I've heard) but this is a little extreme.
Apparently though, the University of Saskatchewan is 'reconsidering' their decision: http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/0...-of-fired-prof-will-offer-him-a-new-position/
Interesting.
This is true, and those of you with interviews might benefit from having some idea about the TransformUS platform. It's a possibility that they will ask if you are familiar with it or how you feel about it. Maybe not, but it won't hurt to have an idea about it.TransformUS is a hot topic here right now and has been all year. I've got lots to say about it but sadly because of the way USask has been behaving, I'm reluctant to say anything. Especially in public print.
So I have an interview May 29! They say 3rd times the charm.. Right? Dear lord I hope so
