Should I forgo my full ride?

“Some of what you are experiencing right now is pretty standard for freshman year adjustment. Students tend to sober up as the years progress, and classes also tend to get more difficult.”

This was pretty much what I was thinking. Most the heavy partiers will either sober up by sometime next year, or be gone. Pre-vet courses can be very tough (I know someone who has gone through them). Veterinary school is very expensive, and you want to save up as much money as possible if you want to keep it open as an option.

I was wondering about taking a sophomore year abroad and then coming back for junior year, by which time the party-heavy folks will be either sober or gone and the courses will be a lot more demanding. If you do a sophomore year abroad in Canada then you will indeed see snow (and there are folks on CC who can comment on possible schools).
