University of Vermont Top Questions

I wish I had known that the university has an agreement with the local community college. If you receive a two-year degree from the community college and maintain a decent GPA, then you can transfer to UVM pretty easily. Not all of the credits transfer, but many do, and you can save a lot of money.

In high school, I got pretty good grades without working too hard. When I got to college, however, I quickly realized that I needed to put forth much more effort, and that the work load was more demanding than I had expected. I wish I had known how to manage my time better, and to put more time into schoolwork.

I wish I had known how to ski or snowboard. The winter season here is very popular and unless you know how to get involved in snow sports it can be very difficult to get through the spring semester. I came from Florida and was completely unaware of how to ski and get myself involved. Now that I know it is much easier for me to balance my social and academic life.

I really wish I had listened to everyone about how cold it was up there. It's freezing. I also wish I had known how to snowboard, but I'll learn.

Put in the extra effort to get everything out of your experience that you can, including skiing or snowboarding because it is well worth it!

how cold it was in vermont, how expensive off campus housing was (slum housing), how rich and stuck up a lot of the students are, how unhelpful the administrative staff is, you're just a number all they want is your money, they keep admiting more and more students and the town is just not big enough thus causing the high rent for dumpy apartments

I wish someone had suggested I do an internship or prepare for the job market after college more.
