As the largest and longest-established vet school in the English-speaking world the Royal Veterinary College brings together many talented individuals sharing a passion for science, human and animal health and welfare. Our broad range of programmes is of international appeal and attracts students who go on to become practising veterinarians, scientists, nurses and industry leaders.

We asked more than 11,000 undergraduates to say how far they would describe their uni as having the following characteristics. We carry out this analysis where we have scores from at least 30 students. You can also see whether these ratings are high, medium or low compared to other universities.
OK, some areas are better than others. For example we have gotten a lot more teaching on small animal things than farm or equine so I do not feel very prepared for these
It is very structured with very little independent study and no submitted work until exams. Teaching is good, excellent in some cases. Covers what we need to know and gives us practical experience.
Potters Bar. Where all clinical vet students live as commutable to Hawkshead campus (free shuttle bus and walk). Nothing much to do (wetherspoons) and supermarkets difficult to access without car (for big shop) - order online. Can get to kings cross in 20 mins but £6.15 off peak return with Railcard. No access to shops/restaurants/cinema/theatre etc. without going into London or having a car. I wouldn't choose to live there but have no choice because of the location of the campus. House is really nice and affordable.
