Ive recently sent in my deposit to ESF. I also plan on applying to vet school. I highly recommend it as it has a good relationship with Cornell University. Cornell’s vet school is the best in the country and it is a New York State institution so its tuition is only 30k for state residents which extremely cheap for vet school. Also ESF does give out some merit aid. I will only pay 4k for tuition with it. The expense of ESF is really in the room and board as they have beautiful new dorms to pay off. This brings my total to about 20k however after your first year you can move off campus and then the net cost is about 14k.
