Washington State University Reviews of Doctorates in Veterinary Science

"Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine has wonderful professors who are willing to help you when ever they can. If they are in their office, they usually have an open door policy and will go out of their way to help you."

"The veterinary program is top notch, but being in the middle of wheat fields there is very little to do outside of the campus life."

"Veterinary school is very expensive and exhausting but that is true anywhere. Pullman is in the middle of nowhere so case load is a constant struggle. However, we have some wonderful professors that really care about teaching. I think that is the greatest strength at WSU."

"It is one of the top competitive veterinary schools in the nation, and has an excellent reputation for research and clinical medicine practice. I've run into a few snags with their financial aid department, like misplacing SSNs and such, but otherwise I've had no complaints."

"Veterinary Medicine is a fantastic program at WSU. The faculty and staff are very supportive of students gaining an education and preparing them for a career. The curriculum is challenging and pushes each student to be their best. The area of Pullman, Wa has a lot to offer as far as outdoor activities. There is mountain biking, hiking, and camping close by. Living is fairly expensive for the area. This is due to the lack of available housing. There needs to be more competitive housing in the area. However, the location and school make up for the draw back in housing. Overall, I would recommend the Veterinary Medicine program at WSU as a top quality program that provides the necessary training to enter the workforce after graduation."

"The veterinary program at WSU is amazing and supportive. The initial entry into the program begins with a 3 day trip to a nearby lake camp where the students get to interact and learn about one another in smaller group settings. These groups are retained in a specific class during the first semester, allowing students to build strong friendships before classes even start while still providing room for branching out and obtaining new friends and useful study groups. The doctors and professors are always available and willing to work with students to pursue the betterment and interests of future veterinarians and the veterinary profession. Astounding research is being done at the school, and many opportunities are available for students to get involved in such research or pursue research interests of their own. While the teaching hospital may not see more cases than other schools' hospitals, there are plenty of cases to keep students fascinated. Overall, the camaraderie in the school is mind-blowing. Fourth-year students are eager to teach the other students while they are in their fourth year rotations, and all students support students in the other years through one-on-one interactions and school-wide fundraisers, projects, and parties."
