I come from a typical middle class family. Parents are divorced, both make mid-high mid five figures. Mom probably makes a little more than dad, but her line of work isn't as reliable (movies). I'm getting through school by working full time in summers and part time during the school year, with a healthy dose of student loans. No personal savings apart from an emergency vet fund (which, even then, isn't huge). Parents are capable of contributing a few grand here and there, but nothing as drastic as internation tuition fees.
All that being said, I am completely aware that it is very unlikely that I will study abroad. Truthfully, it isn't a serious contender, and I will be happy to go to any vet school... though, if I allowed myself to dream, I would certainly enjoy studying in a country other than my own.
I'm more or less just curious on this one, if you internation students don't mind divulging your financial situation - Are your parents large contributors? Have you had the opportunity to work at such a salary that allows you to save? Spouse? Scholarships? Student loans/lines of credit? Is it even possible to get student loans/lines of credit to encompass the heightened tuition and living expenses?
