USF was the first school I thought of. Oddly enough, I have a friend there with several fennec foxes of his own.</p>
<p>USF has an above average biology program and an excellent marine biology program; it should be adequate for pre-vet preparation.</p>

On the contrary, it can matter quite a bit. Vet schools typically require at least 200 hours of veterinary experience, and a mix of small and large animal handling is preferred. A student with access to a vet school/hospital would be well prepared for vet admissions. Such schools are also more likely to have the animal science courses and other specialized pre-reqs that some vet schools require.</p>
