I agree with a lot of what's been posted here. My personal peeve about BR is that all your real "hands-on" training comes in your last quarter of school. The other Vet Tech program in Denver breaks their internships up throughout the two year curriculum, so you get some theory, then some hands-on intermingled. To me, this reinforces learning, and also lets you know right away if you enjoy different aspects of Vet Tech work or not. Saving it all until the last quarter doesn't make much sense to me.

Overall, I would say I got a decent education at BR, but I could have gotten much the same education elsewhere for half the price, and gotten exactly the same $12.64/ hour job (about average for an entry-level Vet Tech in Denver as of June 2011) at the end of it. Just something practical to weigh against those ads on Animal Planet.
