I know that Minnesota is actively implementing new curriculum so I'm having a hard time comparing the programs, any insights?

**Edit: From what I understand, they are working on a new curriculum, but it will not be implemented with the c/o 2030, my mistake <3

We have a new curriculum? That's news to me!

Do you have specific questions? There's a LOT regarding curriculum we could talk about and I'd be happy to provide the info you need (to the best of my ability)!

Looks like the website says

"The recently revised, integrated DVM curriculum uses active learning and builds the relationship between the basic sciences and the clinical cases graduates will see in their practices. During the first three years of the DVM program, students focus on the study of the normal animal, the pathogenesis of diseases, and the prevention, alleviation, and clinical therapy of diseases.

The program concludes with 13 months of clinical rotations in the Veterinary Medical Center, where students learn methods of veterinary care and develop skills needed for professional practice."

That kind of sounds like how tOSU revised their curriculum a few years ago (2022 I think), minus the flipped coursework, which seems to have worked well for them. There are usually growing pains associated with any change in curriculum, but I'm not sure I would let that deter you!

I made a funny joke and then realized I just can't read. I think Shorty may have been the last curriculum but my understanding is that all the current years have experienced the “new” curriculum

During the one of their info sessions UMN said that there will be a new curriculum starting next year, but we (c/o 2030) would be grandfathered into the current one. Could that be what you’re referring to?

I experienced both the old curriculum and the new curriculum because they changed it while I was out doing my PhD, so the last semester I came back for before clinics was the new one

This makes your class rank really challenging for Match purposes and I don't recommend it 🤣

Ohh okay I must have not grasped the second half of that statement that makes sense thank you

I do believe a new curriculum is coming. It hasn’t seemed like it’s starting next year though.

Thank you
Do you know some of the common neighborhoods/apartment complexes students live in? I was planning on driving around with my dad during the visitors weekend so that I can familiarize myself with some of the places I may apply for housing in the future

I feel like people commonly live in Falcon Heights (the neighborhood the school is in), Roseville, Hamline-Midway, Summit-Hill, Summit-University, Merriam Park, MacAlaster-Groveland, Saint Anthony Park, and then the Comos (Como, Como Park, and South Como). I lived in Como Park for a little bit and it's gorgeous but it's very single family home oriented and it can be hard to find an apartment. Minneapolis is going to have much more city vibes and I know people live in North Loop (spendy) and Northeast (very block by block but the Arts District looks cool). Avoid Marcy-Holmes and Dinkytown; that's where the undergrads are.

Too lazy to retype, see above!
