As a veterinary school alumni, what are your veterinary school essentials? And should I buy a backpack with lots of pockets or is a simple one enough?
Honestly my 4 colored Royal Canin pens have been what got me through fourth year 😂😂😂😂 they haven’t died on me once (knock on wood)Go to a few corporate sponsored presentations for free pens
You can have a heated blanket in class?! This just made my life, so excited 🤩I carried a binder (wrote notes on pre-typed notes based on the PowerPoints), computer, pencil bag, a water bottle, a coffee mug, and lunch. My heated blanket lived at my spot in the classroom. So I only needed a Jansport that made it through 5 years of vet school.
If you have the outlets, you have the power!!You can have a heated blanket in class?! This just made my life, so excited 🤩
I just used my backpack from undergrad.
I typically brought my laptop (2-in-1 tablet/laptop that I handwrote notes on top of powerpoint slides in OneNote)
I don’t have one, but I’ve heard decent things about Lenovo Yogas? I think I’ve also seen some people at uiuc have HP 2 in 1s tooWhat laptop did you use? I currently have a surface book and have wanted to drop kick it out a top floor window so many times. But I really like 2-in-1s

Some schools require (or at least used to) specific laptops so, personally, I would potentially hold off until you know where you’re going and have their recommendations before buying big ticket items. Just my opinion though.
I had a Lenovo Yoga which was good for about a year and then I had a lot of issues with it and it died entirely right at the beginning of third year. I would never get another one.What laptop did you use? I currently have a surface book and have wanted to drop kick it out a top floor window so many times. But I really like 2-in-1s
Not sure if you want to avoid the Surface series all together but, I purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro 6 in April 2019 and (knock on wood) I really haven't had a single problem since. It has enough storage, battery power, speed, and can run all of my school-required software (Examsoft and all Microsoft applications). I personally love it but I'd totally understand if you're looking to get away from it. I actually did convince my roommate to buy the 7 and she has had some problems and hers is only 1.5 years old..so I guess it really depends what cards you're dealt.Thank you. I’m going to Mizzou and will definitely stick to their specs. Luckily they’re pretty lax. But there’s a ton on the market, each with their special quirks about them. Sadly the quirks on my surface book caused more problems than not so I’m hoping to avoid that with my next purchase
I also have a love hate relationship with my surface book hahaWhat laptop did you use? I currently have a surface book and have wanted to drop kick it out a top floor window so many times. But I really like 2-in-1s
