An environmental liberal arts school where teachers know, and care about their students academics, interests and professional development. This is a place where you can really learn and peruse interests along side other like minded individuals. Teachers and staff help you craft the tools and skills to achieve.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a wide range of classes before you declare your major. For skiers, pick up a season pass to use on light class days and on the weekends to break up the winter blues. There are a lot of great activities and clubs that you can be involved in. Start a study group, you will make more friends in your classes as well as increase your GPA.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Different from high school, the work-load is challenging but not overwhelming. The amount and degree of difficulty varies with each major.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
With specialty floors like the Rec Floor, Spirituality Floor, SAGE (students for academic and green engagement) and others you can find your own niche or eventually create your own. The cleaning staff knows there stuff and keeps the facilities cleanly and in good working order. The dorm life is a blast.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Run by Chartwells, the dining hall has great quality and variety. They even work with the Cerridwin Farm on campus to feature GMC's own veggies. Once a year they even serve the pigs raised on the farm as pulled pork. If this turns you off there is a great learning experience here where you can really learn and appreciate how, and where your food comes from.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Everything! Rope swing in the back of campus overlooks the Poultney River. There are bonfires, concerts, belly dancing clubs, adventure recreation club which has outings several times a week; you can also rent equipment (kayaks, tele skies, rock climbing equipment, etcâ?¦) for only $1 each! (2011)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The experience is what you make of it. I'd give just about anything to do it again.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Streaking club! This can happen at any time; convocation, graduation, friends and family weekend, young alumni weekend and midnight breakfast; mostly just at 'event' type weekends. Being naked in VT is legal although this and the river are the only times it ever really happens.
Cerridwin Farm; GMC has a farm with both animals and vegetation that runs all year long. Check it out! Never milked a cow? Stop by during posted milking hours and a fellow GMCer will show you how.
