The school focus a lot to conserve or save the green as much as they can. Thus, there are a lot of practice going on to be eco-friendly. I think they focus on this more than any other schools.

Vermont is a beautiful state and Burlington is the ideal college town. The UVM campus is active and liberal, with neither to few or too many students.

Oh my gosh this is the best place in the world!!!! I am so sad I have graduated from this incredible school, but have so many great memories. Anytime I talk to alumni they just light up, and I feel the same love about UVM that you will feel if you go here. The davis center is mehhhhh......but who cares!? just walk around it like i do!

What I really liked about the University of Vermont was its dedication toward being environmentally friendly. Compared to all the other schools I looked at, UVM had the best recycling and composting systems, and uses ecofriendly products on campus. It also has a hospital on campus, which is beneficial for health science majors, such as myself.

The Environment has never been considered at a University with such a large student population. And the Burlington Community really listens to the research we do. The county buses run on biodiesel, most people use bikes, and buildings need to be LEED Certified. I saw that this school also walked the walk, environmentally speaking, and I needed to see that what I was studying could be done.

It is a big school, so if you're looking for small classes with intense discussions don't come here. My classes range from 25-300, and only in my junior and senior year will I have discussion-based courses. Best thing about UVM is that everyone is very interesting/open/intelligent. Plus, Burlington is such a great college town. If you hate the cold, don't come, cause it is cold here.

Something very unique about my school is the support from the teachers. Most teachers are willing to go out of their way to help students. My chemistry teacher (who teaches a very large lecture class) knew my name without me even having to tell him. In fact, almost all of my teachers knew me on a first name basis. I think that this feature is quite impressive especially at a university with approximately 10,000 students. You get the feeling, more than at any other college I visited, that the teachers genuinely care ( and this I believe is a rarity).

UVM was able to provide students a small town feel with all the ammenities of a city. It provides a lake with beaches and mountains with skiing. Other schools tend to focus on centralizing the student population to one area in a rural or urban setting. Most students, at UVM, are able to choose the area they like whether it be downtown or in the country. A very unique school and the experience was priceless.

The student body is geared towards helping the enviroment. There is a very strong artist community at the school and in the community. The school also has an open pottery studio for the community.
