I am planning on attending Kansas State University and getting my degree in veterinary medicine. I want to get it here mostly because it is cheaper to attend this school as I am a resident of Kansas, but I do not want to stay in Kansas after receiving my degree. What I would like to know is if a degree from a school in Kansas will look credible to future employers in other states (people often think those of us in Kansas aren't the brightest...)?

Given the choice of picking a vet from Kansas or one from New York City, I'm picking the one from Kansas. ;-) [it's a joke - don't flame me]
Honestly, it doesn't make all that much difference unless you're talking about the difference between an Ivy and a tier 4. Everything in the middle is considered about equal - you either have a DVM or you don't and few people ever will really care where you went to school.

it really doesn't matter from what US school you get your vet degree. Getting into vet school is hard, passing vet school is hard. So as long as you pass the state boards where you want to work you should be fine. Kansas has a good reputation anyways.

The vet school in Kansas has a good reputation. The degree from your home state won't hurt. It will probably help you.
