Veterinary Student Well-being

As a veterinary student, you face an extraordinary amount of pressure. Coursework, labs, exams... all of this, combined with financial stressors and the overall expectations around animal care, can be overwhelming at times.

The CVM well-being team encourages you to peruse the resources below, take a look at some of the CVM-specific webinars available to you, keep up to date on any upcoming college wellbeing events and, as always, please reach out to the CVM Well-being Committee at CVMWellbeing@cornell.edu with any questions or suggestions.

Financial well-being

Student loan debt can be an overwhelming stressor. Taking time to keep up with your financial responsibilities will help you to avoid the anxiety and fear that comes with the unknown. Focusing on your financial well-being now is an investment toward achieving your future goals.
