University of Vermont Top Questions

Yes

No. UVM students are extremely diverse-that is except for race....a good deal of us certainly smoke and party a good deal, but there are all sorts of people here.

Sure, all stereotypes are true to some extent. But these are the best kind of people-- not all or the majority birkenstock wearing, no showering hippies, but people are socially conscious, care about the environment, etc. As for liberals, aren't most college students liberals anyways? UVM has such a diverse student body (although most are white) that everyone and anyone can fit in here. The best part of UVM is that everyone is so open- you can see a preppy kid hanging out with a skater or an assorted group of people from all different social classes drinking coffee together downtown.

no

In many cases,yes.

No, I walked into UVM thinking that it would be that way but actually there is a pretty good mix of everyone. There are different groups that fit everyone's different lifestyles and personalities.

More or less

Some of these facts are true and there are students on campus who have adapated to a combination of these characteristices BUT NOT MANY! If I had to give a percentage of students who appear this way on campus it would be 3{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} and student activists are only 8{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of UVM campus. Otherwise there are middle class white students (our racial diversity rate is only 7{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} this incoming year) who normally are biology majors looking at a pre-med track. The pre-med students are most looking at our medical program for after undergraduate because it is the top 10 medical schools in the country to go to!

sometimes, but not about all students

More or less. There are some really active passionate people doing a lot of good on the campus
