Union or UVM - for premed/philosophy

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey guys, first post here, its getting down to crunch time, and im trying to decide between these two schools. Unfortunately I was rejected from many of my first choice schools (4 of them) and am settling between union and uvm (and tulane, but not really). </p>

<p>I am thinking about looking into premed studies, whit a smattering of philosophy thrown in. I just came from a very small high school, and im not exactly looking for the same experience, but i felt UVM was a little big when i was searching. I have been to both accepted students days, and got a mixed reaction from both places.</p>

<p>My main fear is the social scene at both schools, im not a huge drinker, and not a fan of most people who plaster themselves in A&F. My idea of college involved dusty libraries, neo-gothic architecture, and sweater vests and horned rim glasses (unfortunately I couldn't apply to oxford in the mid 40s), but that doesn't seem to be the vibe of either of these schools.</p>

<p>If anyone can offer help, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>My d was accepted to both schools, and has friends at both. One friend is at Union as an engineer, but his favorite class is philosophy! D got the feeling that Union is more intellectually-focused than UVM, but Burlington has a great social scene. There is plenty to do on both campuses without getting drunk every weekend.</p>

<p>You really can't go wrong with either school.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
