The University of Vermont

Do not go...unless you plan to ski every weekend and party nearly every night. If you're into phish and the dead (still) and into smoking pot, eating shrooms, droppin' acid, snorting coke and taking x...then you've found the perfect place to spend your parents' hard earned money. That is, unless your parents are filthy rich and you're a white suburban rich kid...you'll fit right in! Go ahead, buy the school dress code...a North Face jacket and backpack, timerland boots and your water bottle. On a more serious not, I know it was 10 years ago, but I saw a lot of people leave after their first semester. The place is deserted on the weekends and the school really feels like a big business. You know, they try to squeeze as much as they can out of the pockets of the out-of-state rich kids. Not all out-staters are rich...and so we got really screwed financially. I hated this school. When I think about it, I feel sick to my stomach. I had a couple of really good professors...but that's about it. UVM sucks...save yourself before it's too late!

Campus Aesthetics: A, Innovation: F

The school's number one goal is to siphon you for all the money your worth - especially out of state kids.

Not worth the price of a private school to go to a state one.Large and obnoxious bureaucracy to deal with whenever faced with a problem or question.

Surrounding City: A, Education Quality: F

Excellent quality of education. I currently hold a Doctorate and have been to 3 separate post graduate schools (for a MS, CAGS, and now Ph.D), and none of the scholastics are comparable to UVM. For HS students, you make of any school what you will. If you work hard, the knowledge that you will leave UVM with is insurountable!
