Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UVM housing options span a few different campuses. Main Campus, the Athletic Campus (also called East Campus), and Redstone Campus are the most popular. UVM’s purchased the campus of the former Trinity College's in Burlington, which has increased the availability of on-campus housing. Most people try to avoid Main Campus because the rooms are small and cramped, but it is almost exclusively freshmen, providing a close-knit community.

The Living/Learning Complex rooms are more comfortable. They have a suite-style setup, bathrooms shared by four to six residents, and a common area. Why so nice? Students must apply and be accepted to a program, which subsequently entails extra work. For students who get stuck with a roommate who never studies, most dorms at UVM have adequate places to study. Additionally, every room is hooked up with free cable and high-speed Internet connection. UVM does not offer many alternatives to the basic dorm room, with the notable exception of Living/Learning, but the required two years of on-campus housing allows students to develop important ties to UVM, both socially and individually.

Small but Nice

I lived in Living and Learning. The suite I lived in was roomy and homey. I had a great community and compared to other schools amazing dorms. My only complaint is that they are a little cramped and the beds are sometimes hard to unloft. Sometimes living in a cramped double is no fun.

UVM Campus Housing

Lots of dorm damage done by other students. Dorms not set up well to get to know neighbors. Good sized rooms though and clean facilities. All dorms are close to dining options.

Campus Life

Dorms weren't my favorite living situations. The socail atmosphere were fine, cost was accurate for a college, convenience to my classes were great, and the housing process is usually smooth from my experiences.
