I need the guidance and wisdom of PTers, once again.

I cannot decide on where I want to try to attend school. Texas A&M University, LSU (Baton Rouge), or Oregon State University.

I want to study veterinary medicine. I want to work with cats, dogs, birds, exotics, etc. I, also, want to be a surgeon and work on spines, on hearts, and help figure out Lundehund Syndrome.

Texas A&M University is in a tie with OSU for top spot. Texas A&M seems to be a big veterinary school, on the forefront of research, advancing in everything, etc. But, it is still in Texas. Nothing against Texans, by any means. I am just not a fan of tornadoes. OSU has recently inherited about $13 million dollars for their veterinary program. However, from my understanding it is just for working on farm animals. It IS in Oregon, my home, and I much prefer their weather. There are less chances for veterinary jobs here in Shreveport as there are already FIFTY SIX vet offices, hospitals, etc.

What to do?
