I'm not really sure I might look into the abroad unis a bit more, the only thing I'm thinking about with going abroad is I might not be able to speak the language. you?

looking into it but id prefer English unis to be honest I'm just thinking its better to keep your options open and there not on ucas so u can still apply as normal I mean its always worth a try but I cant afford St Georges in Granada :s that's a little too expensive :s

I wish I could win the lottery and then I could afford to go any where lol :smile:

I'm thinking that I should concentrate more on stupid homework and finding work experience over the next few weeks and then look at unis in about a month or so I was thinking about looking around all the unis I haven't been to :smile:

Yeah I've been phoning my vets and stuff and they where like contact us in a couple of weeks :frown:

I've been contacting labs in hospitals when I went to liverpool they said they counted them as not everyone can get to a vet lab, I'm also thinking about contacting farriers and chester zoo as well. If you have an abbatoir in your area you could contact them perhaps.

I personally try to phone them and if they say no because of insurance reasons tell your school/college because my college said to me that they can have a look around the business and do a health and safety check and can make it so that if something happens then the college can get blamed instead of the business, so I'd also have a word with the careers person if you have one. Sometimes I think you need to seem persistant to get places in life :biggrin:

Hi guys. Can I join your thread? Still getting over the disappointment of missing out this year and the fact I know 3 people who have vet offers. It's quite difficult to be around them at the mo :frown:

Anyway, trying to be positive about having a gap year and gaining some confidence.
