Hopefully a current or past Logan student can give you more details on facilities!
That is all very good to know! I appreciate you taking the time to respond to all those questions. I tried to get in contact with one of the barn managers at the campus equestrian center...maybe things have changed since you looked into it but good to know that there are good boarding facilities around.I can't say anything specifically about the vet school facilities- I wasn't an animal science or pre-vet major, so I didn't have any classes in the animal labs or anything, but the research farms, including the equestrian center, seem really nice from when I've attended events there. The anatomy lab is in one of the older buildings on campus, but it still gets the job done I think
I'm also super excited about the smaller class size. The professors here are wonderful and really, really care about the students and I think it's easier for them to get to know the vet students even more since the class is so small. I work for two of the vet school professors in their research lab and they are like my second parents
I'm not sure what the current boarding situation is at the equestrian center...a couple years ago when I was looking for a boarding place for my horse I believe they didn't offer boarding to the public (and maybe not to anyone?), but that was a few years ago, so my memory may be bad or things may have changed since then. There are a number of nice boarding facilities around Cache Valley though. I had my horse at one that was about 20 minutes from campus and it was great- they had an indoor arena, outdoor arena, covered stalls or open pastures depending on your preference, and was within riding distance of trail rides in the foothills. So even if the school's equestrian center doesn't offer boarding, there are plenty of other nice options in the valley
Of course!! I'm sorry that I'm not too helpful haha
but if you have any other questions feel free to PM me as well. Did you get the email about WIMU Wednesdays that will be starting next week?
I did get that email! I was excited to see that they will be recorded because I have class at that time each week! I was bummed that this week's webinar was not recorded however because it seemed like an informative talk about the Bozeman and Logan campuses.Of course!! I'm sorry that I'm not too helpful haha
Awww bummer you have class during those times! I bet they'll cover most of the stuff we talked about this week in subsequent weeks though, so you should be able to get that info again
Hello! I am a non-resident too! Have you decided to attend?
I will more than likely attend, but still waiting to hear back from one more school!
Are you attending the Utah campus?I am in a similar situation! Hope we can meet if we both decide to accept out seatsI will more than likely attend, but still waiting to hear back from one more school!
what is the other school that you are waiting to hear back from?I am in a similar situation! Hope we can meet if we both decide to accept out seats
Unless UT natives chime in-have you joined the FB groups? Those are a pretty good places to try and find housing. UT has their own pages, but the regular classifieds page can be a source as well since there are previous UT students on there! If you don't have any luck let me know and I can reach out to my classmates and see where was popular for housing in Logan.
Hi!!! Congrats!! I'm excited to meet you in the fall!
I'm finishing my undergrad at USU right now and have lived in Logan for the last 5 years. There are a couple FB pages with Logan student housing and apartments (just general pages, not vet students). I can list the links to those tomorrow. Joining the FB pages, both the c/o 2025 one and well as the WSU CVM Classifieds would also be helpful and you could ask there about specifics for housing
I haven’t yet but I will start looking there! Thank you!
Thank you for the advice! I will start looking for those pages!Hi!!! Congrats!! I'm excited to meet you in the fall!
I have already heard back from all the schools- I am waiting to talk to a bunch of people about grad school vs vet school. If I go to vet school it'd be WSU! I should be able to decide this week, when are you hearing back from your last school?what is the other school that you are waiting to hear back from?
I'd be down to look into housing together if you are in need of a roommate!
I would also be interested! Definitely would prefer a vet student group of roommates versus non-students/undergradsI'd be down to look into housing together if you are in need of a roommate!
That would be great, I think rooming with other vet students would be so much better!I'd be down to look into housing together if you are in need of a roommate!
Overall, USU facilities are nice. You spend a majority of your time at the vet science building (which is old and meh), but it does have a great student lounge, a small (but nicely equipped) anatomy lab, and classrooms that are really only used by vet students (+24/7 access via prox card). Lectures are actually being held in the new business building which is incredibly nice. We also have rooms in the new agricultural science building for lectures, but they're not being used this year since they are too small for proper social distancing.
Very much so. It's small and you can tell it's older, but it is well-equipped and it isn't a hinderance.
He's the lab assistant and is an amazing guy. I'll have to mention to him someone from UIUC is still talking about how great he is. He'll love it! Haha.
Housing in Logan is very hit or miss and difficult to come by (especially if you have pets). The apartments I live at were built in the 70s and have zero insulation, both noise and thermal. The trade-off is that they are relatively cheap. Some students live in nice apartments but pay like $300 a month more than I do.
I’m glad you agree
he’s the best and is why a lot of my class passed anatomy
Hey, I'm a third year student that went through the first 2 years at USU.
