We get hands on animal experience (live animals) from day one. 2nd year is pretty much the most tedious and difficult of all years at any school. Some people think first year is hard because of the adjustment between the amount of work you need to do in undergrad vs vet school, but at least I can say at my school first year is a cakewalk compared to second year. I just finished 3rd year yesterday and we are in clinical rotations in third year. It is not easier but definately keeps you interested and reminds you why you came to vet school. Now its off to 4th year and boards I can't believe I am almost donedvm'08 said:Thanks! feels good to be half way done!!

dvm'08 said:nope - 2nd year is brutal. i dont think you get to touch any live animals until half way through 3rd year.
I'm sure this varies from school to school, but in general: 2nd year consists of you sitting at a bench looking down a microscope... pathology slides, micro slides, virology, animal hubandry (which absolutly SUCKS ASS), pharmacology, and a whole host of $hit that is, at first somewhat interesting, but quickly becomes a 4 inch binder full of crap you need to know pretty much everything about - and let me tell you, they will test the hell out of you.
ugh. definitly - worst year ever.
weeziefive said:Well then I guess im going to enjoy 2nd year because I love pathology (have my own hisotlogy slide collection), love parasitology and virology.
How do you not love the microscope? Its so freaking awesome. And histopathology, even better. But I guess for those who just want to do small animal or 'practise' it isnt much fun. Or maybe I have just had really awesome pathologists teach me and that is why I enjoy it.
