FIRST WEEK OF VET SCHOOL | LIU CVM
I survived my first week of veterinary school! I'm so excited to share my journey with y'all! Stay tuned for more videos about Long Island University's new veterinary school. Drop some questions or comments below so I can make a Q/A video in the future.
BTW, I will be sure to make a campus tour video, I know that was highly requested ;)
Study hard!

Your veterinarian can offer valuable insight specifically for your situation and for your beloved pet. It is handy to keep an updated rabies vaccination certificate on hand and any required travel forms (check your state requirements). Thank you for watching! Let ...

I graduated with honors but veterinary school is still SUPER competitive to get into, so listen for some tips on how to make your academics a strength for your application! Grades are SO important for veterinary admissions!! BUT, veterinary schools look for more than good grades!! This is part one ...

      For a small campus, it has a variety of options. I lived on-campus with a meal plan my first year and I was satisfied. There is one main dining hall, a cafe style dining hall, and small convenient stores. Also places such as Starbucks and Subway. Since the inaugural vet class, their vegetarian/vegan options have increased and did so from actively listening to surveys and student demand. Coming from a large university, of course this doesn’t have as many options but it does the job! Here’s a link to campus dining: liu.campusdish.com/PostCampus

    • @DogtorZaida
      @DogtorZaida 3 роки тому

      Hey Christina! Good question! Research experience includes those experiences directly involving research conducted by your professor or graduate/undergraduate students for publication. You can include this experience if this was your research or if you were a volunteer laboratory assistant. This does not include laboratory classes. If your nutrition lab allowed students to get involved in a particular research paper lead by your professor then it will fit this category. I hope this clears it up!

    Are tattoos frowned upon in the vet field? Im 31 and have changed my life around and want to show people in my community that there are opportunities in other fields than sports, rap and illegal businesses. I have tattoos and its one of the things kinda holding me back, thinking schools would look at me in a bad light

    • @DogtorZaida
      @DogtorZaida 3 роки тому

      Do NOT let that hold you back! I know and have seen plenty of vet students, vet techs, and veterinarians who have tattoos. I think frowning upon tattoos is a thing of the past for our field. If anything, I think we tend to love them (especially the animal related ones haha.) Also..it reflects a lot on a business or school if they judge you for it. So you want to be hired at an office who is accepting anyways! You are awesome for wanting to make a difference in your community- a tattoo doesn’t change the value of that! Eventually I want my own tattoos too lol just haven’t decided what I wanted 🙈

    How come you chose LIU even though so many people are skeptical about it? And do you feel that the school is up to par with other vet schools, even though it doesn't have many facilities?

    • @DogtorZaida
      @DogtorZaida 3 роки тому

      Well, people are always skeptical about new things! LIU has provisional accreditation which is exactly where they need to be and this isn't our Dean's first rodeo. Our professors also taught at other veterinary schools and decided to start their journey now with LIU CVM. The next step is up to the students to pass the NAVLE during their 4th year and grant the school full accreditation. You can find more details about this process on LIU's website and the AVMA's website. Every student enrolled (as long as they pass the NAVLE) is protected and granted their full licensure. We are not the only vet school in the US without a teaching hospital as well! We have many connections here in New York and New Jersey to get an abundance of hands-on experience from the first year, in fact, this is why LIU CVM opened. There are pros and cons to having or not having a teaching hospital. We have over 50 clinical affiliations and are provided opportunities often, even outside of school. We have an outstanding faculty and with that I am confident in this new modern vetmed program!

      So my study time in this video did not reflect my TRUE study methods! I am very hands-on and I'm glad you mention this because I do want to share more of my studying tips now that I have made it past my first round of midterms (successfully)! Until then though, I review all of my lecture notes since our exams are heavily based on the lecture powerpoints with readings as a supplement. Once I have a good overall grasp of the material, I use my white board to draw out any processes and as a way to quiz myself. My roommates and I also quiz each other constantly which helps gives us a reality check of how much we actually remember. I do not rewrite my notes since I think it's too time consuming BUT I do know students who are still able to use that study technique. Just stay on top of it! It is always good to explore different studying habits but everyone is different! I study for each class a little bit differently too so this is a very general answer. I can make a video about this in the future. Thanks and good luck on your journey as well!
