Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students are in agreement that the University of Vermont is a remarkable place to go to school. The refreshing environment and lovely surroundings meld well with the progressive, laid-back city of Burlington. One particular area students wish to see change is an increase in the amount of racial diversity. Perhaps the coming years will bring a more diverse application pool, allowing students to learn in a varied and culturally aware environment. And while less consequential factors, such as parking or Greek life, were neither praised nor abhorred, the most important aspects of college—academics, atmosphere, and housing—consistently achieved superior rankings according to the students.

Compared with most other state universities, the University of Vermont offers a very competitive educational experience in an unbeatable setting. UVM is like an epicenter—it's within a day’s drive of New York, Boston, the Atlantic Ocean, and Canada. The University of Vermont houses provocative and diverse thoughts, mixed with a dedicated student body and the additional flair of Burlington. The verdict is in: UVM is a beautiful school with a rigorous academic curriculum, mixed in a place that people come to enjoy, and, surely, continue to love.

Great Campus Bus. Inconsistent Town Bus

The campus shuttle service is excellent, but sometimes you have to wait a while for the town bus.

Parking at University of Vermont

Limited/Expensive/Hard to Find

First years can't park on campus but after that year, it is most convenient to have parking on campus. Other than that, it is incredibly challenging to find parking around campus anywhere for free.

Italian Is Great

I love being a part of the Italian Studies/Romance language department. The teachers are great. We haven't had any department-wide gatherings though, which is sometimes upsetting because the English department has free dinners all the time.
