IPB does not only equip students with scientific subjects, report writing, do their independent assignments, but also provide students to establish a good organization as well as to urge students to develop themselves and make friendships. At the first year, students were required to stay in a dorm with four-room mates in a room. There is also a great difference in students’ characters, they of course train students to adjust themselves to its milieu. The hectic and tight schedules for the School of Veterinary Medicine were heavy burdens for us.
