There is an extremely wide variety of courses offered at UVM. Many are strenuous, but the professors are always willing to help and make an effort to be available in and outside of class. On the other hand, there are a variety of very entertaining and rewarding courses. For example, I took a SCUBA course last semester and am now certified for life!!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
On top of the great courses offered at UVM, the people and environment create a wonderful atmosphere. When you first arrive you will be warmly welcomed by a diverse community, and soon find your own niche. There is also plenty to keep you entertained on campus and in the town of Burlington. Whether partying on the weekend or just looking for a quite week-night activity UVM is the perfect place!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I am an in state student, but most of my friends are from around the country. Although they have all fully enjoyed their time at UVM, it has been somewhat of a financial struggle.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you have any choice in where you live first semester I would recommend the Red Stone campus; It is a very social area and there are beautiful lawns/greens to play games or just spend time with friends. All of the housing at UVM has similar opportunities, but I really enjoyed my time on red stone and think it is worth looking into. Also, look into a variety of majors and don't be afraid of starting as an undeclared student.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Outdoor-lovers, environmentalists, animal science majors (there are many well-recognized opportunities for large animals), snowboarders/skiers
