Why did you choose to attend our program for veterinary school?
This program is very reputable, so I knew I would be receiving a quality education here. The hands-on experience I’ve obtained has been extremely valuable. I appreciate that Utah residents pay in-state tuition because I want to do all that I can to reduce the amount of debt I finish school with. I also was very happy about studying in Utah for the first two years because I was able to maintain a close proximity to my family and friends.
What do you think makes our program special or unique?
I’ve loved all of the hands-on experiences I’ve participated in. They’ve been valuable and created fun memories of veterinary school. I appreciate being treated as a future colleague by the faculty rather than just a student. The faculty are all very friendly and always willing to help. I’ve also made many lifelong friends inside and outside of my cohort.
What experiences in our program have been the most meaningful so far?
The hands-on experiences have been among the most meaningful so far. Also, making so many friends who are experiencing similar challenges as me has been awesome!
