I personally won't blame the school. If I didn't train to be a vet it is my own fault. There was nothing except focus and desire stopping me from training later in life and getting the necessary qualifications to go to vet school....only I didn't, because I was focused on other things by then. Also the courses were residential and far away and I wasn't happy later in life to live away from home, even when I had the money to train. So I guess it was my choice.
