<p>If you have ever visited University of Vermont, can you please tell me what it was like and whether you liked it or not?? Thanks!!!</p>
<p>I’m from Jersey too, and even though I did not apply to UVM, my brother is a sophmore there and I have visited lots of times. I never went on any formal visits, but I can give you my point of view. UVM is a beautiful school, with great facilities and it is located in the heart of Burlington. UVM definitely has a unique vibe, with it being in a liberal area of Vermont. I am very preppy, hate the cold, and do not want to go to school with my brother, which is why I did not apply. I really do love the school though. Burlington is such a nice town; it is not too big or too small and has lots of great shops and restaurants. THe students are so nice there, as are the townspeople. If you can handle the cold, I think you should definitely go to UVM!</p>
<p>I went up to UVM in January, and i thought the campus and surrounding area was very nice. The day we went it was extremely cold (it was one of the coldest weekends of the winter). I thought Burlington was really nice (especially Church Street) and there was a lot to do, although definitely not as much as there would be in a big city like Boston or New York. The facilities seemed nice and there was a lot of construction going on. The new Davis Center (Student Center) is really nice and is also pretty large. It snowed a few times when we were there, so expect a lot of snow, especially due to the “lake effect” (Lake Champlain is about 1 mile from campus). The campus was fairly spread out.</p>
<p>I’m a student at UVM and I can tell you that the winters are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. They are definitely cold, and we get a lot of wind off the lake which can be miserable, but we don’t tend to get nearly as much snow as the rest of the state. The campus is nice and the downtown area offers plenty to do without being really urban. The class sizes are fairly small, but will be getting bigger next year due to budget cuts. My experience with faculty and staff has been great. Everyone is really accessible and invested in their students’ academic success. On a whole, I’m really glad that I came here and have enjoyed my time at UVM.</p>

<p>I’m from Boston and honestly, Burlington is a much better college town. Boston is expensive and really just a tourist city.</p>
<p>I visited the campus formally once, and have since been there twice. UVM has a very beautiful and expansive campus. It is very close to downtown Burlington, which holds many things to do, not to mention great food. I was very impressed with every aspect of the University. It is rather large, but I don’t believe it is TOO big. I too am currently considering attending UVM. It would be hard for me to pass up an opportunity to experience living in Burlington, it is that great for college students. It’s just a great school.</p>
<p>It was a lot better than I expected. I hate living so far away from my classes though. It is literally a 10-15 minute walk to classes. But I could take the bus but then again I am truly impatient.</p>
<p>Nice views of mountains too.</p>
<p>Church street is wonderful and it’s a nice campus. It’s a big campus but it’s really pretty and the dorms are really nice. Something about the UVM campus reminds me of Cornell. It’s also not as hippy as you might think. Pretty much everyone smokes pot and drinks… but there is a decent mix of people. There are the preppy wealthy guys, a ton of really down to earth people, some hippies, some really really smart people, some really really dumb people, ha, and so many other types of people. I think if you go to UVM you’ll love the campus and you’ll definitely be able to find your niche. </p>
<p>Bring some warm clothing though obviously! Winters in VT are lonnngggg… ha… They aren’t miserable, but winter seems to last forever.</p>
