Association of veterinary students weekend. Basically where every vetstudent in the UK is invited to descend upon and trash a city. AMAZING.

wow, sounds incredible! so hows the city chosen? is it fixed or different each year?

I aint a vet (so no sheep semen drinking initiations for me), but Bristol is a great place! I think the vets mob came round to Bristol in my first year -2001 as we had a bunch staying down our corridor.

Vet In Progress

Bristol is fantastic- the vet faculty is very friendly and the teaching is good. We seem to dissect more species for ourselves than other vet schools (from what I've heard), which is useful. Every Thursday (in 1st year anyway) is spent at Langford, playing about with animals and doing Animal Management lectures. There's lots of opportunities for animal handling practice and the lecturers (especially in anatomy) are very good at including clinical information, so that you see the relevance of what you are learning.

Obviously, I only have experience of Bristol vet school, but I just loved it as soon as I visited it. The city is awesome too, lots to do and it's nice that it's not a campus (in my opinion).

If you've any more questions, feel free to PM me.
