I need to know a lot of things about cows before 10 AM tomorrow lolI can't. Had a midterm at 8am this morning and when I woke up at 4:30am I still hadn't even seen some of the material before.
A few of my classmates basically live in the library at school. Every now and then I'll go study with them because it forces me to be productive, but damn. So much self control.
PS if anyone hadn't figured it out Cdo is defs Type A
I increasingly feel like our study habits are eerily similar.
that’s nice! My friends are getting really good at picking up when my depression gets really bad. I only eat dry Cheerios (or nothing) when I’m reaaally depressed and so I found out my friend has one of those mini boxes of Cheerios in her backpack for me.

Look at the Facebook page (when you get it) there are tons of housing posts. You can usually live in a house with 3-4 people for 700-800 depending on utilities and distance. I live in a small room that fits my queen bed (unnecessary but I refused to part with it) a dresser and a desk. They are crammed in there and will not be coming out without pry bars. But I pay 600. The majority of the students here live in a house in Davis, commute via bike, and live with vet school roommates. I have to study at school because home is too distracting. But on the other hand I can come home and bitch to my heart's content because all of us know what it's like. No one judges me for my pre-exam eating habits or the fact I wear a robe all the time in the house even over normal clothes because I refuse to turn in the heat. You'll find living alone is really hard to find in Davis. Maybe in Sac, but then you have to drive and parking is ridiculous like 600 a year or something crazy. So you can live alone, but I don't recommend it here. Find some people you'll mesh with, and enjoy
Oh my God we just had a steer at our research farm that ate two hunks of metal that were the same size as playing cards! (Found it when we were putting stuff in through the fistula) we were like "HOW DID YOU EVEN SWALLOW THAT DUDE?!" He declined to comment.
Hey! Sorry I know this is slightly off topic, but we’re you on the OOS waitlist? I’m on the OOS waitlist and very hopeful for a call before I put my deposit down elsewhere!Hey guys! Just got my call for Auburn yesterday so I’m a little late to the game, but I’m super excited to be part of this class!
I keep hearing a lot about how all in vet school is - it seems like most people spend all day either at school or studying with their classmates, and I am really looking forward to the tight knit community I’m sure this will make. But I’m also someone who loves getting out in the community in general and doing things that aren’t necessarily school related, haha. Is this even possible in vet school or should I just go ahead and prepare to think about nothing but vet med for the next four years?
I know how to cook em and that’s the only important part.doesn’t @Melchizedek know a lot about cows?
Is there a particular reason why? Mizzou is nice in the fact you can get IS after year 1...
I just personally did not like it there. Also, my significant other has a much better shot of getting the job he wants in the other places. I also didn’t like the idea of not being able to leave the state for more than 14 days over the summer.
Other than stepping back and asking yourself why exactly you didnt like it there-did you just not jive when you visited? My advice is the same as I gave someone else. Try to relax and be open minded about it. If this is what you want accept the spot and put down the deposit. If you get off your IS waitlist great, if not you still have a spot. If you get off a cheaper OOS then great(although I think MO is still your cheapest OOS option?). It's really hard to judge if you'll like it somewhere until you go there as I stated previously class make up is a huge influence. If you need to you still have like a month to wait also.
I mean I know they probably won’t, but being around them is something that brings me joy and relieves stress. I love babies and even seeing them once every couple months would be great. If that were the only reason then of course I wouldn’t stay. But it’s a bonus.Your nieces/nephews won't remember if you were there for their at least 1-4th years of life. That just simple human nature/biology. I mean do you recall what relatives where present on your 4th birthday/Christmas? I can guess who was possibly there but I can't say for sure. Nor would I care if they missed it because they were in school.
Well, I’m #1 on the alternate list for Mississippi, so I’m fairly confident I’ll get called. I’ve weighed my options, and I love State over Missouri. It’s also much closer to my hometown and family. I’m at peace with my decision
How did you do that? Did you already get a school email address?Signed up for VIN
I think that’s whats so problematic with trying to criticize soemone’s opinion. It’s just that: their opinion. Our opinion is that family is extremely valuable and can be a lifesaver in times of stress. Others feel like it’s not overly important and place higher value on other things. Neither opinion is right or wrong, and making a decision on where you go to school has to be based off of what you find most valuable. Money is obviously important, but how much money is more important than family? $10,000? $20,000? $50,000? That’s something that only the person making the decision can decide. All anyone else can do is say what they feel was right for them.
Was Davis your undergrad? And does the vet school use the same site as the rest of Davis? Because for penn, our email is going to be @vet.upenn.edu so even if someone went to undergrad there it would be different.Yep!! Had it from my undergrad
I got my vet school email last month (was accepted IS to Michigan State) and signed up for VIN right away too.
Ugh I’m so jealous of you guys! I apparently won’t get my email until the beginning of the summer. My vet lets me look around on VIN when he’s logged in but I’m so excited to be able to have my own.I got my vet school email last month (was accepted IS to Michigan State) and signed up for VIN right away too.
Come join us! We are a blast! Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you just want more insight!
If it helps at all, I was in a similar position to you. I ended up coming to WSU over what was my "dream" school (mainly because WSU was the cheapest option) and was worried I was not going to like it here, but I don't regret coming here
I know I am!!
I'm even restless just waiting for accepted students day, and it's only 5 days away!
I might be. Lol
