I haven’t started yet, but just from the tour alone I’m confident it is a great school and I’m very excited for all of the hands on experience! They respect my religious ethics towards specific animals as well which makes me feel welcomed and at ease that I won’t be overlooked or discriminated against.

My overall opinion of Vet tech institutes is it’s a very different and difficult system compared to your typical college . It requires a lot of time and effort as well as your free time goes away so not ideal for people juggling a lot in their life .The teachers are a 50 /50 like or don’t like their teaching style so I find myself teaching myself at some points . Over all be prepared for a lot of work coming your way and lots of studying!!!

Unless you know what you're getting into, I would strongly advise against coming here. Be prepared for a lot of work and an incredibly fast paced course (only 16 months). If you're able to juggle this course and a job, I envy you. Otherwise, you may have to quit your job to make sure that you stay on top of your classwork. Some (but definitely not all) of the professors can be pretty inflexible in their leniency, even with situations out of your control such as health problems, weather conditions, or technical issues. Husbandry cannot be described as anything but painful. Your 7 hour day will turn into a 12 hour day, including the weekend (but this is balanced with the fact that it's only for 1 week each term up until Junior semester). However, the hands-on-experience is invaluable and there's job placement for when you finish the program, which can take away the worry and terror of being out of a job upon graduation.

There isn't a better school I could have chosen. Upper class are super helpful, the instructor are always available, the office is very helpful and every one there is very encouraging. The material is really easy to understand and the instructors make it easier.
Briana
Vet tech institute is a learning environment and teachers are always there to help. It’s strictly a vet tech school, so there aren’t any extracurricular activities and a lot of our free time is focused on taking care of the animals. Since we do have animals on site, there’s also a lot of hands on learning

When I applied to the Vet Tech Institute of Houston, I didn't know anything about it. The day after I applied I got a call to come in for an interview. As soon as I stroked out of the car I saw the students in scrubs all mingling. No one seemed to be left out and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. When I walked into the building we went in the wrong entrance but no one judged us and made us walk around. Instead we were helped to where we needed to be. Once we got to the place we were meant to be, we met Mrs. Kim. She helpfully and cheerfully explained how the school would be and how everything worked. As soon as I went on my tour I knew that school was perfect of me. On my tour I met a young student. She showed me some husbandry techniques and told me id love the school. Overall the energy was completely positive and I can not wait to start this October.

Finding Vet Tech was the best choice out there! I was a current student at a different institution in Texas, but it didn't provide me with much of anything for my career choice. Anytime I would look up information of schools for my major choice of animal sciences, Vet Tech would never fail to appear! I am so excited to be attending the school, and I would give the same advice to anyone that I should have given to myself. if you love animals and would like to spend your life working with them, as well as work with them AT SCHOOL, this is the school for you. I would finally say, if you are determined to find a school that you need for you career as well as determined to become enrolled in it, this school is for you, look into it.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Always put your school work ahead of your social life. Getting the grades will always be more worth it, because missing a party one night wont matter.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
You should not attend this school if you are not serious about the animal industry and if you are planning on sliding by and just finishing and getting a job. This school is excellerated and extremely serious and in depth.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
Were right next to the higway, and we work with animals. Theres not a big patch of land were we can take the dogs and have them run for a long while. Instead we have to make do with walking them at least 4 times a day and they have to be on leashes at all times. They spend so much time in the cages and have so much energy and they cant fully use it up because there is not enough space to let them run around.
