A small, private, expensive college placed right in the middle of a beautiful Green Mountain valley of Vermont. The Corp of Cadets is the base of it's strong traditions with a twist of mainly Architecture, Engineering, and Athletic Civilians. Some students (like myself) love it here, others despise it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Learn what the Corp is BEFORE you get here, and make sure you check the right box. Students come here for a reason, you don't pay $45,000 for partying here.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
If you choose a major like Architecture, Engineering, or Nursing you will be part of a top notch program. If you come here as a Criminal justice, English or Communications, it's not very challenging and the Professors are sub-par.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The University is re-modeling all Corp buildings. By the Fall 2012, 4/8 buildings will be completely remodeled and look incredible. South, the new civilian building is the base of the remodels.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is better than average at most Universities, they have a great selection: Vegetarian/Vegan, Deli, European, Grill, Pizza/Pasta, and Cereal/Bread. Food gets old after awhile, but I feel that happens at every University.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are weekly activities including yoga, karaoke, and late night programming. There is always a big name concert every year, for example Lee Brice.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It depends what your major is and how well your ties are to Alumni. Alumni LOVE the University and poor money into it and are main sources of jobs in internships.
