For vet school, you can live anywhere. During 4th year there is a distance requirement but it is relatively unrestrictive.
If you are referring to undergrad, I have no idea.
Oh really? I was under the impression that unless there were extenuating circumstances (parents own house in Stillwater) you had to live in the dorm/ Greek housing for the first year
Undergrad freshmen are. First year vet students are not.
Thanks! They probably confuse me with undergraduate student.
I appreciate how many veterinary students think of themselves as "freshmen", though.
Vet students definitely do not have to live on campus. I have been living in a duplex off campus with my cats since 1st year. If you haven’t joined your class’ Facebook page (Log into Facebook | Facebook) I would suggest you do so. There are generally many housing posts during the summer.
Best of luck finding a place to live and enjoy your summer prior to all the craziness starting!

1st year is the most common term.Lol they definitely thought I am an undergraduate because I used the term "freshman", got get rid of this habit!
Okay I had to look it up because it was making me crazy, but yes, when I started my freshman year in 2014 they required all freshmen to live on campus. They still do! Exceptions are made in some instances, but for the most part all live on campus
When I was a freshman in 2006 it was required, but lived off campus with my brother that was 21.
Not gonna lie, this makes my heart break a little. But I’m determined to stay hopeful!
Congratulations on Mississippi State!!!!!
I saw on the email they sent with the important dates that IS students won't be called off until spring grades are due (June 1st), whereas OOS could be called of after April 16th. Do they typically wait until spring grades are in to start making decisions on both lists or just IS? Just wondering because I am an OOS alternates and have not heard anything yet, so is that typical and should I keep holding out until transcripts are due? Or, should I start making arrangements to reapply?Dang. They were on the ball this year making decisions. haha
Congrats everyone! Alternates remember that most OOS are placed there til spring grades can be looked at, then they start pulling very deep. Hang in there!
I will be a 4th year when you come in, and I have been here a good while thanks to a couple years of PhD work, so ask away with any questions you may have. Cdo can answer your first year class questions better since a few things have changed since my time there though. lol
Although things can be in flux long into summer, as I mentioned earlier, Anna had said the OOS seats were mostly filled last I talked to her. So though it is probably still moving, no more than a few spots at a time is likely the molasses speed right now. So no, they started calling OOS after the April deadline. You can send her an email and ask where they are at currently on filling the class though. She is the sweetest.
YYYAYAYAYAYYAYYYYYY!!!!! So happy for you deva!!!! WE DUN DID IT. WE GONNA BE VETS
Hell yeah! Congrats!
I don't usually check the school specific threads so I'm just now seeing this, congrats!!!!!
I am sooo relieved and excited man. Planning on making a family road trip up there, probably in July.
If you need housing suggestions hmu! I think I posted a big post earlier but I can’t remember lolIt's still kind of surreal to think about. The day I got the call, it was around 9am and I was still in bed, bolted up when I saw Stillwater on the screen
Yo when I got the call from Illinois I was at work and saw Urbana pop up and basically sprinted to the back. And then hyperventilated on the phoneIt's still kind of surreal to think about. The day I got the call, it was around 9am and I was still in bed, bolted up when I saw Stillwater on the screen
Weirdly I wasn't even jittery/heart-pounding when I answered the phone! After all the waiting (and some false alarms from spam calls
) I just felt pure happiness and relief (disbelief?)
I was almost to the point of crying from happiness and was basically hyperventilating to keep myself from doing so while at workWeirdly I wasn't even jittery/heart-pounding when I answered the phone! After all the waiting (and some false alarms from spam calls
When I told Anna I'd been waiting for this call she said she loves getting those good reactions like people screaming and stuff, because some people she calls seem "frustrated" that they've already accepted at another school or something?
Depends on how many people fail out, if anyHi everyone!!
I hope people still look at this- I am a prospective transfer student and am trying to gauge how many possible seats (if any) there may be open after your first semester- going into second ??
hoping someone might be able to provide me with a little more information!
thanks
well the historic first year failer no longer teaches, so it’s different from when I was a first year. But yeah, I’m sure there will be transfer seats. We had 5 leave before finals, and then with our D system, we ended up having 10 more not be invited back!Hi everyone!!

this is an interesting development
it’s really something!this is an interesting development
Uhhh I don’t know of any openings at this time, but I’m not a first year so it’s possible there might be a few? We had a lot, but apparently it’s rare^^also curious about this , does anyone have any updates? Nervous wreck heading into the holidays/ finals and afraid I won't get an answer until after OSU finishes finals ... but the deadline is Dec. 1 so who knows

just because I’m curious, were y’all able to end up transferring?^^also curious about this , does anyone have any updates? Nervous wreck heading into the holidays/ finals and afraid I won't get an answer until after OSU finishes finals ... but the deadline is Dec. 1 so who knows
Ah that’s unfortunate! Sorry to hear about that!
What is the D system?
Is it easy to fail out?
I'd have to look at the student handbook again for the specifics, but basically a D in first year classes is equivalent to an F. That being said though, they really do try to ease you in, and there is a lot of support from the school, peer mentors, and individual professors offered to anyone who should fall into the danger zone. For example, a lot of people were in danger of failing (D-ing) histology last semester, but the prof offered several opportunities for make-up points and I heard he also held special review sessions focused on aiding those who were struggling. So I would not say it is "easy to fail out", there were just some very difficult professors in certain classes prior to this year (well...there still are some difficult profs, but they really don't want so many people to fail again, and will work with the class on whatever concepts may be causing issues!)What is the D system?
That didn’t happen to us but I’m really glad y’all had that!!
