Hi all!

Im very fortunate to be able to decide between a few schools, and narrowed it down to UF and Edinburgh’s 4 year program. I already posted about this on reddit but I guess I wanted to add some financial context and get people’s thoughts on things with the deadline coming up.
Overall, I think I am leaning towards Edinburgh for the chance to live abroad, etc. Gainesville and Edinburgh are actually not that far apart in flight times for me either. My biggest concern however with Edinburgh is that Im dependent on the exchange rate for how many loans im taking out. Edinburgh costs 39,700 pounds per year, but Im worried about the value of the dollar dropping and my overall cost going up. Overall, I might end up in Florida just for financial reasons, which is still great, just a bit frustrating for me. If anyone has any advice or thoughts to share that would be super appreciated, thanks!

I’ve been doing some research too, and a lot of alumni are saying to pick whatever option is cheapest because at the end of the day each vet school has their pros and cons but for the most part your learning all the same thing and will end up with the same degree.
