Well, my son, who decided to stay with his Animal Science major, vs changing to Bio is absolutely loving life! He is really happy with Animal Science. Did well his first qtr with a 3.67 gpa. His classes are much much harder this quarter - in english, calculus, cell & molecular biology and equine science. He’s also in a foaling enterprise, which consumes a lot of his time, but he loves it. The kids work two 5-hour shifts a week, checking on the pregnant horses and cleaning their stalls (even has shifts from 2:00-5:00 am). He got a call at 4 am last week that one of the horses was giving birth, so he treked the mile to the horse unit to help! He really likes all his teachers. I know he stays up really late on weekends, so it worries me that he can keep up the pace and get everything done well during the week. But, so far so good. Would love to hear from anyone else that has a child in the pre-vet area!

He is so happy in Sierra Madre dorm. Made friends really fast and really is having fun! My only complaint is that he doesn’t call very much :(
