University of Vermont Top Questions

The cost, tuition continues to rise. It is, I am told, the most expensive public University in the Country. But I had that feeling that this was where I needed to be, and although I am immensely in debt, I really have enjoyed my experience at UVM.

The worst thing about the school would probably be the lack of very campus wide activities. Its a large school, over 10,000 students and it can sometimes be hard not to get lost in the crowd. We had a few events for things such as halloween but overall theres not something going on every weekend and you're really on your own to find things to do-- which can be both good and bad. A few more planned out events would be a nice addition to campus and student life.

The worst thing about my school is the wind chill in the winter, it can get pretty chilly but otherwise it's great!

The president is accepting more students than the school can hold.

The worst thing about UVM is the cost. Students here tend to come from upper middle class and are very wealthy. The tuition is increasing every year and it has become extremely difficult to find students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Furthermore, the financial aid office has been decreasing students financial aid. Overpopulation in the dormitories are also becoming a large and significant problem. Due to development of various buildings, UVM became millions of dollars in debt. As a result more freshmen are being admitted and students who should be living with only one other student are in forced triples.

The long walk for side to side of campus

Lectures have lots of students in them making it hard to get to know the teacher well. It makes it hard to get one on one attention.

My school tends to be very hard on my wallet. Although I recieve great grants from the school and fill out my FASFA I still need personal loans. It is also a long winter if you don't ski or snowboard.

The lack of finacial aid and terrible housing.
