It was the best!
August 09, 2025by: Zara CrossThis program has truly transformed my understanding of what vet med could look like. I have also made some of the most valuable memories and connections. I couldn't have had a better time. I hope to be able to go on another Loop program again. It was the best!
If you're on the fence, do it.
August 09, 2025by: Alivia O'MooreIt was a life-changing experience that I'm so grateful I was able to be a part of. If anyone is on the fence about applying, do it. You'll meet so many incredible people and you'll learn so much more than school will teach you. Not to mention the food is so good!
Program is amazing.
August 09, 2025by: Karina PetersonThis program is amazing, including tons of activities and experiences that can't be found at school. It helps me to prepare for what come next in my career and I gain a lot of new knowledge. It is also a great opportunity to meet lots of new friends and different culture.
