Defs the plan. I just cannot anymore.
Best wishes for a smooth delivery & healthy human pup!
Itās an extremely bad look. I have a friend in his third year right now and heās horrified that he wonāt be able to take the NAVLE easily. RVC has expressed they essentially have no plan for these North American students and itās really unfortunate.
It usually is, so it's really strange if that approach is not being taken with RVC
I guess RVC is claiming since they are an international program those rules donāt apply? Idk how itās not the same as a stateside program but they are actively telling students that is not the case and they will have to go through PAVE or ECFVG like other programs not accredited. So theyāre either misinformed and spreading false info or somehow have different rules applying to them
Itās so strange because Australian vet students have popped up in threads saying they were given NAVLE reassurance when their schools were on probation.
This RVC situation is really making me worried for the future. I had assumed when I applied (and accepted) my spot at Glasgow that probation was nothing to be afraid of, and that's clearly not the case anymore. It sucks the AVMA is willing to put so many students in this position, and it's because they have no protections for international schools regarding AVMA accreditation (please correct me if I'm wrong on this).
Especially because I donāt think it was ever clearly communicated in the AVMA COE bylaws that international schools were held to a different standard with terminal accreditation.
They bugged the hubs but that's his problem. It told him I would not be talking to them. Meanwhile our star wars child arrived
I just spent some time skimming the bylaw documents and while I admit I could have missed something, everything I saw specifically referring to accreditation of colleges outside the US and Canada actually explicitly says that it uses the same criteria/guidelines as the US/Canada schools for the accreditation. However it didnāt talk specifically about terminal accreditation in that specific section 3.3 about international schools. Earlier in document, in section 3.2.7 where they do address terminal accreditation, the section does start out saying āfor schools in the US and Canadaā¦ā which suggests to me there may be different policies for international schools, but I donāt see where they outline a different parameter for schools not in the US and Canada. And I did a control+F for all instances of terminal in the 214 pg pdf document.
Omg the STANK face on that baby so cute. Congratulations!!!!
Although you have your new addition already (CONTRAGULATIONS!!), I wanted to add in on this because we've already talked about our disdain for our respective inlaws, lol.
I had an old junk Taurus in college that perpetually had a whiny belt. It wasnāt a necessary fix and was like $500 so I just never went anywhere without playing my stereo VERY loudly. Sometimes I miss that car š¤£ could hear me coming from a mile away for multiple reasons.
My favorite ford escape was like that and I loved it except when the car engine blew up on the highway
If thereās any solidarity I have to get an 800 dollar repair for break lines š
Solidarity. I won't go into detail but I have my own terrible car luck going on recently. They are just the worst.
In theory some college students could qualify, but you have to meet certain criteria. I found the graphic below on the USDA website. If this is still accurate, vet students wouldnāt be meeting the work requirements so those without children or a disability may not be eligible.
I know people in my class who were able to get SNAP! I never went through the process of applying.
this is a super valid concern and i'm glad to hear you were not hurt during this altercation. i would start looking at new places regardless if you plan to renew or not just incase you HAVE to move. maybe you can ask to change units and state the reason you previously mentioned?
Definitely post in the externship housing fb group to see if anyone on there can help you out!

Honestly I had the most luck just asking people in my network. For one, I even just asked a girl at a party Iād just met (friend of a friend) if she knew anyone in a certain town and she did happen to know someone I stayed with for three weeks. And they even let me bring my dog. But the externship fb group is very helpful sometimes too. Itās stressful though.
Def would call and report it to police if it ever happens again. Ik it's alot harder in a larger town but usually when those types of things happen one of them isn't supposed to have the said firearm or there are other issues the police can resolve and make your situation safer
I had called the non-emergency line because of the screaming, but they got upgraded to a 911 call (which I hated doing because my upstairs neighbors are not white and Iām pretty sure I heard one of the cops mention ICE during one of their escalated discussions). We had one unit respond who ended up calling in two more, and then we had a K-9 unit behind the building the next morning. The cops also never talked to us. My hope is it gets resolved by our apartment complex as we have pretty strict rules on firearms, whether they belong to you or your guest, but I have no idea when or if thatāll happen.
Unfortunately because of the unique layout of the building, I donāt think a new unit would help. Each building is only six apartments, two side by side per floor, and the front doors go directly outside; thereās no common hallways. Thatās part of the reason we liked it; it felt more like mini condos and less like an adult dorm building. I have three tours scheduled over the next few days, so hopefully something works out š¤š»
I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS !!!! THANK YOUDefinitely post in the externship housing fb group to see if anyone on there can help you out!

For my first one my friend from college let me and a classmate crash at his guest house for two weeks. I am eternally grateful. Didnāt know about the externship housing group will definitely check it out !
If I've learned anything over the past 5 years of home ownership (minus this past year) and as we prepare to move into our fourth home, it's that you will never be able to buy the 'dream home' unless you are a millionaire. The rest of us buy a house that works and do what we can to make it more in line with what we want.
Moving is always 100% stressful. You are only here temporarily though, if that helps at all. Even if you stayed in this place for the rest of your school years, it's okay to hate certain things about it. At the end, you pack up and move on in a clean break. As long as the space is reasonably functional for you and it's not a dump, which is harder to find in college towns in my experience.
It is far from a dump, which I'm very grateful for. We explicitly stayed away from the student areas because I am too old to deal with undergraduate housing problems and undergraduate shenanigans. I'm essentially a young person with a grandma attitude. The house is very well cared for, the landlords are only a few blocks away, it's near a lot of restaurants and shopping that we like, and the area is primarily professionals, families, and post-bacc students.
I'm thankful that we're creative and handy people. We've painted various pieces of thrifted furniture, the spouse is an artist and very good at designing a space, and the landlords are considering letting us paint too. I'm hopeful that we can make something nice out of it.

I think the bill was no new plus loans for new borrowers starting in fall 2026, but if you had one taken out prior to then, they will still let existing borrowers have them until 2029-2030 school year and then no one at all gets them starting in 2030. So in theory students who are currently enrolled or are starting this fall should still have access all four years, but itās possible the bill changes or that the articles I have been reading were incorrect. Applicants for this upcoming app cycle thatās just starting need to take heed and factor this into their decisions.Student Loans And Trump's Megabill: What To Know After House Passes Bill
The bill overhauls how new borrowers can pay back their loans and imposes new limits for how much they can take out.
So does the grandfathering provision still stand or no PLUS loans past 2026 for anyone with this if it goes past the senate?
Seconding all of this, as I currently am sitting amongst boxes, stressed out of my mind, with our closing next week. Moving always hurts and compromise always exists unless you have millions to spend.
