Honestly, no. I mean, sure, there have been minor bumps in the road from time to time, but nothing that made me wish I had gone elsewhere. I'm really happy I'm here and feel like I'm getting a quality education (which is saying a lot cuz I pay out OOS tuition) and a good amount of actual animal experiences (but I'm in a lot of food animal classes, so I get more animal time then small animal trackers do).
I may have posted this on here before, but I'll say it again. I've been told by a current UPenn instructor, who is a VMRCVM grad, that VMRCVM allows students much more hands on experience that UPenn (and some other schools) and better prepares general practitioner vets (nothing against UPenn, just the story I was told). She said that UPenn is really internship and residency focused and prepares students well to move into those positions after graduation. However that also means that the interns and residents do most of the vet work, while students stand around and watch.
I want to be a GP and I learn best by doing, so this program works for me. That in no way means I feel like I'm getting jipped on being informed of cutting edge research or that you can't get an academically focused education here. If this is your IS, you'd be nuts to go elsewhere and pay twice as much when you could get an excellent and fulfilling education here. Just my two cents, since you asked.
