Hello! I am so excited to have these two schools as an option, so much so that it is becoming very difficult to make a decision. Both will be expensive, but I may have free (family) housing in London. I would love any input. I've outlined some more info below:
Penn:
-I love Philly and have wanted to go to Penn since visiting for a trip a few years ago.
-My horse could come with, and he's getting old so I want to spend time spoiling him in his retirement.
-I could buy a house (vs. apartment living in London).
-I want to go into equine and new bolton is so well known, I think i could get great experience there.
-Philly overall would be more manageable than living in London IMO. I live in NYC now and get exhausted by the big city sometimes.
-I want to get a dog and think it would be easier to have a dog in Philly.
RVC:
-It's a good chance to live in Europe and explore the world a bit. London is also one of my favorite cities but definitely more overwhelming. I don't know when else I'd get the chance to have an adventure like this.
-My fiance would be able to work in London and he also has friends and family there. We don't know anyone in Philly.
-I heard RVC has a polo team so I could get my horsey fix in a really fun way
-I heard RVC also has more focus on large animal in its curriculum as compared to US schools, which is a plus for me.
-Dogs in apartments is always difficult. Also, I may have to travel more if I go to RVC, so would need to figure that out with a dog.
Do you guys have any advice? Other things to think about/consider? Do you think going to one over the other would affect my career options at all? TIA !!
