The classes are generally engaging, but I would recommend investigating your professors before signing up for their class. They can make the class and seem to be hits or misses. You WILL learn something IF you actually apply yourself, otherwise you could probably get by without doing so.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The academics are good and the general population is accepting and friendly. The living situation varies by dorm and your personal environment, and it can get a little grungy. Overall, it can be an enjoyable place if you want it to be.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a state school which means cheaper tuition. Cheaper tuition is good. The overall quality of the school does not really show its price tag. Everything else (i.e. books, food, fun) is just as expensive as anywhere else.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
UVM is a good school in an adorable town with a wonderful landscape. Your experience will be what you make of it, so have fun but study hard and try to learn something.
(If you are concerned with housing [i.e. you want to have the option to study in your dorms and have your own sanitary bathroom], try to get into U. Heights via acceptance into the Honors College or Green Housing.)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hippies, party-ers, and the environmentally-conscious are especially prevalent, but there really is a variety of people here, and most are accepting of divergent others.
