Who attended Anderson University in South Carolina for pre-vet studies?
Should i attend for the same study?

Anderson is a pretty small school so not sure how many people you'll find. I have a coworker who just finished her first semester though and course wise seems to be on par with the state schools. Something to consider is that it is a very isolated campus so you won't have as many opportunities available for shadowing or veterinary jobs. Trade off is smaller class sizes and more of a relationship with your instructors.

What is trade off?

 

[emacc]

Trading more opportunities in a larger campus/area for closer classes/relationships in a smaller one. Just cost/benefit of each

Hey! Are you IS for South Carolina? If you are I would recommend giving Clemson a look. It's only about 30 minutes away and has a lovely pre-vet program. The classes might not be as small but all the professors are amazing and willing to talk to you. I have a great relationship with several of the ones that's I had classes with despite the class size.

Then again, I am in no way trying to force you to look at Clemson if you don't want. I just love this school and the AVS program. I've received invaluable hands on experience at all of the animal farms and in all of the animal related lectures.

If you have any more questions just pm me! I've known a couple people that have gone to Anderson and the campus is nice but I don't know much outside of that. Regardless of your decision, good luck with it all!!

Thanks, after i learned that Anderson is a small isolated campus, i'm no longer planning to attend there. I'm now planning on attending Clemson. Do you happen to know what their pre-vet program is like?

Anything specific? I'll be graduating in May so I have plenty of first hand experience in the major. The prevet program is one of three concentrations of the animal and veterinary sciences major. We have 6 different farms with the furthest being a good half hour away but that's the beef farm and it's huge. All of my AVS professors, with the exception of one, have been fantastic. We have a lot of students get into vet school as juniors and seniors too. Last year ~10 or so juniors were accepted and are attending vet school before graduating. They'll still get a bachelors though because Clemson will allow the first year of vet school to count as their senior year. I don't really understand that part too well but I know that it happens.
