AVS is a student run organisation which sets out to support and represent the vet student community of the UK and Ireland. Each vet school have their own representatives who come together to improve education, student life and welfare within university life. AVS representatives from each university attend tri-annual meetings where they discuss current issues within veterinary education, as well as the wider profession, acting as a bridge between students and veterinary professionals. We also host the famous and very well anticipated AVS Sports Weekend, where one vet school hosts the rest of us for a weekend of sports and partying!
Year Group - 4th year Why Liverpool - I know it sounds cheesy but Liverpool really does have everything; amazing (and affordable!) nightlife, busy city centre, some lovely parks and nearby beaches. It is a great place to be a student as there are so many things to do, I have a long list of things I want to do in Liverpool before I leave so you will never be bored here! Favourite AVS Event - Although sports weekend is so fun and crazy and definitely something not to be missed, I'm going to pick Congress as my favourite event. Not only do you benefit from some amazing lectures and practicals (which are completely different from the day to day teaching at uni), it is a brilliant social event with a bar crawl and a ball, where it is lovely to everyone all dressed up and looking glamorous!
