Good vet schools?

[Ducksandchickens]

My dream is to become a livestock veterinarian and I am wondering if anyone knows of any good vet schools in or around ohio? College is a ways off but never to early to look! thanks!

Purdue. Excellent program.

Here's a list of vet schools and their rankings but you have to understand how they determined those ratings to actually know if the rating is accurate.
According to this review, Ohio State is ranked 5th. Close to home!

My choice would be Texas A&M University.

ETA I'm partial to A&M because that's where I got my Masters, in Marine Biology. Wanted to be a Marine Veterinarian but ran out of money, so went to work!

Of course my choice would be UC Davis. Partially because I live in California, mostly because many of the best vets I have been to graduated from there.

Gig 'em Aggies! Texas A&M University! They've recently built a huge new equine facility on their vet school campus. Large animal vets are in short supply right now, so if you eventually get your D.V.M. you likely won't have a problem finding a position somewhere.

I was told many years ago when I was in high school many years ago (25-29 years ago in Indiana) that if you wanted to be a vet you go to Purdue or Texas Tech, there may have been 2-3 others that were as good or better but they were at the time considered at or near the top of the list. of course there is always schools that equal or higher in specific parts of the field of whatever degree you are looking for (like one school may be better for learning of certain exotics or for horses or reptiles if you know what I mean).
