Reviews of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (Veterinarian)

Danielle schafer

I am currently a student at RUSVM, I am proud to be a Rossie. Going to school in the carribean definitely has its ups and downs, but I’m actively pursuing my dream. Think about it, it’s sunny almost everyday, I am taught by amazing professors that excell in their field and I have met people from all over the place! If you come to school here, come with a OPEN mind and make everyday count. My time is flying by here.

During such a hard time for colleges and students this university has absolutely succeed in making it possible for me to succeed. Professors are extremely accessible and great to work with. The support staff have worked so hard to make it possible for an easy and stress free experience virtual as well has the transition to island. So beyond impressed with the talent and commitment this institution has given.

We start new Ross graduates at $100k annual salaries. We've hired a few Ross graduates over the years, and have found them to be well prepared to practice veterinary medicine. We value them so much so, that we start new graduates at $100k+ salaries. DAMC, Tampa Bay, USA

I attended RUSVM for 4 months and realized during that time I was making a huge financial mistake. Although my dream had always been to become a veterinarian, nobody, and I mean NOBODY should come out of school with $300,000++ in debt with 16% (or more!) interest rates. It seems like theft to me which is the main reason I chose to withdraw. So many of the students I talked to disregarded this fact but it was too big of a life changing factor for me to ignore. If veterinarians made half the amount human doctors do this might be something they could pay off in their lifetime. With a starting salary as low as $30,000/year in some states, the debt to income ratio is completely skewed. I’m not trying to discount the profession, it’s a great career in many ways but it just was not worth it for me. I encourage those interested in becoming a veterinarian to really do their homework first. I’m paying off a massive loan I accrued in just 4 months and have nothing to show for it. I’d suggest looking at other options as Ross is painfully expensive. I will say that the professors are wonderful though. They all seem very passionate about the subject they teach and living on an island in the Caribbean was an amazing experience.

A veterinary university truly leading the veterinary profession in innovation and its hands on approach to learning that emphasizes practical experience. Ultimately leading to exceptional opportunities in the future for all of its students. The closed campus consists of many state of the art classrooms, teaching labs, and animal hospitals all housed on beautiful ocean front property. Providing the opportunity for study in an environment that is rich with distinctive culture, natural beauty, and exotic marine and wildlife.

Great school, good education, large class sizes though

Every school is what you make of it. If you’re looking for large classes. Overwhelmed professors due to large sizes and inconsiderate students here’s the place for you. They don’t care about your success. It’s clear because they keep increasing class sizes but failing so many. It would be nice if they cared more about the livelihood of students rather than increasing class sizes where they have to bring in extra tables to the lecture hall. Not to mention the one library on campus is tiny and seats are always taken. Not enough accommodations for students!! Especially being that these student are far from home ross needs to be a more inviting and learning conducive facility
