“I love that within the spiral curriculum you revisit
strands regularly so you are constantly adding
to your knowledge the further you get along the
course. I also enjoy the number of opportunities
which are open to you as an RVC student. Being
a student here teaches you so much more than
how to be a vet and lets you explore and get
involved with whatever makes you happy. There
are so many sports and societies to join which
really is what gives RVC the community feel that
it has. I joined the RVC Boat Club when I joined
the university (having never even thought about
rowing before) and it really has been what has
made my first 3 years here so great”
