My experience at the University of Vermont was amazing! Academically I felt like I was pushed to learn and growth. I felt supported by the academic staff. One star off for diversity and price tag. Student life and community in Burlington, Vermont is a big plus. The city of Burlington and the access to the lake, woods, and surrounding green spaces is incomparable.
Review University of Vermont
mountains. Burlington has great food, music, art, and a surprisingly big nightlife for a small city.

UVM had good academics and excels particularly in certain fields like medicine or anything environmental. Intro course may be lecture style but you quickly move to small classes specific to your degree.

The student body is not racially diverse but the community focuses heavily on diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Burlington and UVM are left-leaning and progressive.

Newer dorms are wonderful, older dorms are ragged. Dining hall food is below par but other campus eating is very good.

UVM is not a typical state school. School spirit is very mellow, sports are not a heavy focus. Big sports are hockey, basketball, and soccer. There is not football team.

Clubs and organizations are also intertwined with the Burlington community so being a UVM student is also being a Burlington resident..
Excellent school that combines great academics in an outstanding location. The D1 athletic department offers a good place for a student athlete to play top tier college athletic and also have a nurturing environment to learn and be a successful student. The campus is right up there with top Ivy League schools and the university is constantly adding new beautifully designed buildings to compliment the campus. A must see for all college seniors. Tuition is a little steep but you get what you pay for!
