Fairly accurate, but we are pretty smart stoners at least. And about the hippies, we have a lot, but at the same time we have enough non-hippies to get them to shut up once in awhile
Emily
They are somewhat accurate but we dont have the typical jocks and frat boys that you would imagine.
Lindsay
No not really. There is that crowd, but there's also a very mainstream crowd here if that's what you're looking for. There is a fair amount of student activism on campus.
George
The latter half is, the former not so much. about a quarter is hippy the rest hate hippies
Tate
1. There are some hippies, like most campuses. Many of the "hippies" talk about fairness and well being while dressed in their sweat shop made clothing surrounded by liberal white people like themselves. Give them something to be conservative about, see how liberal they stay.
2. This is true.
3. This is true, but it seems that everyone is from Massachusettes. A better name for the school would be the UMass Burlington, Vermont.

I think to an extent they are. In most of my classes only about 3 people out of 20-40 have are actually from Vermont. And drawing from my musical theater class, a lot of those students did have their parents pay for things, and then complained when their parents said no. And as far as hippies go, we all know thats true, I just wish some of them would wear real pants and shoes that don't smell like manoure.

Some aspects, but not entirely. You're more likely to meet a laid back person over a prick.
Andy
For the most part, yes. The school claims to be extremely open-minded, but it's really only open-minded to anything that helps its radically liberal agenda. President Fogel is just as bad. Conservatives will either thrive on this type of adversity or go crazy.
Dylan
to an extent, there are a few people who don't smoke, and the gurls do shave their legs, for the most part
Mel
No way. We get this reputation because we are in Vermont. For some reason people think that means that all we do is smoke weed and drink and party. We are a normal school. Yes we have Greek life and party but not any more than any other US school. As far as the med students go, some of them are stuffy but they are under so much pressure that I don't think they're any different than other med schools.
