One of the biggest obstacles many face in veterinary medicine is the intense academic workload and emotional stress. Balancing rigorous studies with practical experiences can be daunting. Overcoming this often involves building a strong support system, connecting with peers, and finding effective study methods. Many find solace in joining study groups or seeking mentorship. Remember, it's a journey! Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, and don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it. You’ve got this!

Grady’s Answer

I went to vet tech school. *Living* was the hardest thing. Paying rent, gas, utilities, going to school full time &, at one point, working 3 jobs. My parents definitely helped me get by, until I graduated. I could not have done it without them. They were FAR from rich, but helped me without question. I made it through determination. I was going to do it, regardless of how it happened.

It's more of academic loads and how you manage your time. You need great group of friends while you're at it. That made me survived college, tbh
