These are factors that are much, much, MUCH more critical in the actual job market that the defined period of vet school itself.
The suicide rate in our profession is due to the crushing debt, compassion fatigue, dealing day in and day out with long hours and little pay for awful clients, etc. Not the location of where you went to school for a few years, how many clubs they have, the weather, etc. If location, climate, and "seeing yourself" (whatever that means) were so "critical" to well-being, we would be seeing rampant suicide during the schooling period of every 4 year professional degree. During the working years, as I said, this can be a different matter and many more factors other than salary need to be considered.
Look, I'm not trying to downplay student wellness. As someone who struggled a lot with wellness during vet school, I get it. But you simply cannot compare the negative impact on *lifetime* wellness that a massively increased debt load can have to the transient and smaller effect that living in a place you don't like for four years can have. They simply aren't equivalent.
