    I feel that I'm paying a pretty decent amount, but that when I graduate, it will be worth it . I will be graduating with 2 degrees, and hopefully those will be enough to get me into a vet school.

    Otterbein's tuition is expensive. And for what you pay, I feel that we should definitely be offered more; especially sine the rate is increasing so much more.
