UVM has a reputation for being a school full of pot and heavy drinking- is this accurate? i understand that you can find wellness housing but i’ve heard no matter where you are on campus you can smell weed.
Ok, so I was just up there for Columbus Day visiting a friend who goes there. I can tell you that I smelled weed for a good 10 seconds in downtown Burlington. Most kids go in spots not really popular. There are a lot of stoners and hippies-- it’s Vermont. That’s something to be expected. Also, Vermont has a very strict Fake ID policy where if there are any suspicions, the person checking can call a number and verify the information that is on the ID to see if it’s a legit one. Because of this, the drinking culture is almost nonexistent unless you know someone who’s 21.
