Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine
Graduate Student: Incredibly difficult, rigorous program, with not much sympathy from the educators or admin regarding the heavy workload and pressure. However, the wellbeing situation is improving, and the college has the right attitude towards improving conditions for its students. The school's name comes with heavy weight in the working world, and I feel privileged to be a student here, though could do without the crazy stress!
The campus, faculty, and facilities are top-notch, and not needing to purchase textbooks due to there always being copies on reserve in the library is a huge bonus. The Ithaca area is an expensive place to live, but Cornell vet has a dedicated financial aid person and registrar and it's very easy to communicate with them and student services to get the support you need.
The Dean's office is heavily involved with the student body and makes a point to reach out personally to struggling students.
