What impressed you positively?

The problem based learning session. Very unique teaching style.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides could have a known a bit more about the program...they were very relaxed but not as knowledgeable as I would have liked.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be early when parking. They want you to park in public parking and it's hard to find your way around.

What are your general comments?

Western is definitely not a traditional vet school. The teaching style for the first two years revolves around problem based learning and laboratories. The great thing is that there does seem to be a great amount of hands on experience, starting from your first year. However, there is no large animal facility (there is a small animal Banfield). They do take tours to nearby schools/farms/facilities, but if you are looking for an on-campus large animal hospital and/or lecture centered learning then Western is probably not ideal for you.
