| Western University of Health Sciences college of vet med teaching goals do not include helping students in any way to succeed in their on line near vocational program. The faculty do not teach, do not advise and it is widely accepted and joked about that they do not lecture.....As a veterinary student you will be teaching yourelf to be a veterinarian for a quarter of a million in loans plus interest— if you attend, do so knowing that you may be one of the students who are pushed out. Go anywhere for vet school, go to Ross if you have to. You are playing roulette with your academic and professional career by attending WUHS. |
| Western University of Health Sciences college of veterinary medicine does not prepare you to be a valued veterinarian within the profession. It does however provide tools to pass boards and that is about it— if that is all that is important to you than go to Western and pay through the nose for an education you could have obtained in your free time in the library. |

“Go to a real University and get yourQuite BrightPreMed and Medical
Go to a real University and get your degree, or make a campus visit and decide for yourself. If this is only place you got in I guess you have no choice. Don't buy into the small school equals better professors,Some of the professors here barely could pass a TOFEL exam,since Western has a block system, where any course is over in 18 days, and you have an exam and quizs weekly. Rarely you get a good professor where u can acutally learn something instead of running threw and memorizing it for the exam. Its a sad waste of 40,000 per year. Southern NV, UC, Touro, anything but westernu is well worth it. Doctors and pharmacists that live or work in the area, have no idea that western even exists, a big minus when you try to get a job. Sorry to be negative, but this is vib you get once you graduate.
