<p>Interested in finding out which school is more recommended to go to if I'm interested in eventually attending veterinary school? I'm in a community college and will be transferring with an associate's degree in biology. I'm considering reputation, availability of study abroad, their science department, how challenging their programs are, etc.</p>
<p>Considering University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts: Amherst, Central Connecticut University, and Clark University.</p>

<p>university of Illinois </p>
Have you looked at WPI? It has a good program as well. If you’re in state, then you can’t beat UMass’ price.
Can you talk to local veterinarians? There are probably some schools better suited to different tracks in veterinary science. Depending on what you want to do.
But I would expect that your local state university would have pre-veterinary studies.
With veterinary school being expensive your goal should be for undergrad to be as cheap as possible while still getting all your requirements for vet school met.
You started out at CC and have an AA already, do any of the schools in your state offer scholarships for transfer that you could qualify for?
All the schools you are looking into have great programs. You might want to consider midwestern colleges such as Michigan state or university of Illinois. However with pre vet it is best to pick the program you know will give you the best shot at hands on experience and a good GRE score in preparation for Vet School. As there are only so many of them.
