    Stockton University in NJ

    I am choosing between Drexel and Stockton but torn on what to do. Leaning on Stockton as it is the cheaper school but was wondering if there are any current/former students from either program that could help me out with my decision!

    Is it better to pick a school that has a strong reputation/prestige over a newer-established veterinary school program? How much of a difference will it make when applying for jobs, internships, or residencies?
