Before actually going to vet school, I had no idea how important curriculum set up was…but man did I get lucky. When applying and before deciding, do your research into how the different schools have their courses set up. Are they on a traditional didactic schedule with anywhere from 5-7 classes a semester, where you’re in class from 9-5 everyday? Are they on a block system, where you start and finish one class at a time? What do your breaks look like? How about exam schedules? What’s the average day dress code? Why is this important? It plays a huge role in your wellbeing during vet school in my opinion. I feel so lucky that our school is on the block system, where we get to integrate different perspectives on one given subject matter at a time (especially because I had no clue about this when I was applying). As a result, our school is unique in the sense that our students generally have more free time outside of class (which is AMAZING)! Yes, we work hard and our instructors have high expectations for us, but we get to still be people outside of vetmed. Give these things some thought during your application and decision process. They matter more than you may think!! #vetmed #vetstudent #futuredr #vetschool #prevet
