Hi! First off, congratulations!!! I’m a current first year. It was previously mentioned, but our first year starts in June and the second year starts in July. It is like drinking out of a fire hose, but I have found that I am doing better than I did in undergrad. Personally, i think that MSU does a good job of easing you into vet school. Each semester is progressively harder. Typical of most schools, second year is the hardest year, however, our second year is similar to other schools’ third year. In my opinion, the curriculum is challenging but not undoable. All of the professors really want you to succeed.
