First day of class
Started by luplodw
So I was just wondering when vet school starts for everyone. I'm going to be attending Mississippi State and we start July 1st. I thought this was super early. When is the first day of class for everyone else?
Yeah, MS-State starts rediculously early. another thing I didn't like about them--would have screwed up all my summer plans!
Oklahoma starts August 23rd, I believe, with orientation the week before that 🙂

wow! I thought Western started early...we start August 2nd!
WOW! July?!
Minnesota doesn't start until early September. I think it's 9/6/10.

That kind of sucks, but at the same token...YOU'RE IN VET SCHOOL YOU lucky duck! Think in a few years it won't matter when you went to school because you'll be a DVM! LOL!

Good luck!I mean I know why they do it...and actually I like it! They want to spread the classes out so that your first year you don't have so much information all at once. It will be a good transition and will make class less difficult. I like that they are willing to give up some of THEIR summer so that we can be more successful.
Aug 30th for Penn.
Orientation the week before.
Personally I would like a 1/1 start date. But that is just me.

Auburn starts on the 16th of August. Lupoldw, keep us informed about your journey since most of us will still be enjoying the rest of our summer at that time. It's going to be awfully hot that time of year down in MS.

a Jan 1st start date???
I think the penn start date fits my schedule well. right when i finish my fellowship ill have time to move!! vacation! and get my place unpacked and organized 😀
Oh and the weather can't be much worse than August in Auburn (which is so terrible mixed with the humidity. I sweat as soon as I step out the door).
it's the same...
Yup. Tuskegee tentative date is Aug 25th with orientation/VLE starting the weekend prior. Soooo excited (less so about Auburn heat boooo)
Haven't heard an official peep from Cornell on this one (and I can't find it on the site either... though I haven't tried very hard) but based on the past several years I'm guessing our orientation starts August 16th with classes starting later that week?
WOW! July?!
Minnesota doesn't start until early September. I think it's 9/6/10.
We have some sort of orientation/team building thingy before that, though, don't we?

That's true. 9/1/10, if you're counting the orientation thing.

3 whole months of summer break in the Twin Cities! So excited!
Orientation at Washington State starts August 16th, and classes start on the 23rd of August. I'm super excited to get started, but also looking forward to the nice, long summer before then!

Yeah I heard that orientation starts August 16th and that's about 3 days long so classes should start on the 19th! So excited/scared!
I'm the 11th! Yay, August birthdays!

So much for August birthdays! CSU's orientation starts the 16th, and my b-day is the 15th... It looks like I'll be celebrating it alone with my cat Meanie in a new place and flat broke.

Apparently Aug 15th is the day the Virgin Mary died, the day Japan lost WWII (Japan time), and also the time in Japan when people celebrate dead people. hmmmmm..........
I wonder if the first day will be Syllabus Day? 😀
That is a VERY good point. I sure hope so 😀
A&M's orientation is August 18th, so I'm guessing classes start the following week. My birthday is the 27th, so I'm sure there won't be much opportunity to celebrate after the first week of classes.
UPEI - AVC: Orientation August 27, Classes start Aug 30.
Sometime in August. The 15th, I think.
I wonder if the first day will be Syllabus Day? 😀
Ahh, Syllabus Day, my favorite biannual holiday!

I'll be there!!!! I'm moving out to Colorado around the 3rd of August and would be honored to buy you a beer or other drink of choice for your birthday. Have you been to CooperSmith's (http://www.coopersmithspub.com/)? And then orientation is going to be fantastic and then we have our white coat ceremony on the 20th and classes start on Aug 23rd. Lots of good things to celebrate!!!!!!!👍

Lol, that's what I was thinking! Haha.

Haha, coopersmith's has awesome rootbeer that they brew themselves. But I am with you, I'd much rather have diet coke than beer, eventhough I like that too.
Off topic: but I LOVE Pigsfoot's avatar😍
