What impressed you positively?

ISU has a brand new Veterinary Medical Center that is just beautiful and nicely done, everyone was just so helpful and seemed happy to be there, and I also found out that ISU does live and terminal surgeries that I think are very useful and actually may have been the big thing to change my idea of what school I'm interested in going to.

What impressed you negatively?

Most of the students needed to buy a trailer to live in the trailer park behind the school and I'm not looking forward to buying a $5-25,000 trailer my first year

What are your general comments?

It seems like a really good school. The students have said that they feel well prepared, the doctors are very proud of the students and the new facilities. The only downside in my mind is with the distance from my home (PA), the weather which is COLD! and the whole trailer park thing. Other than that, it seems like a really top-notch, good school.
