UVM was too big; the classes I was in made me feel like a client instead of a student. I don't like being just a number. It's different in other majors/departments I'm sure, but ya. I also joined a frat and didn't enjoy that, so I set myself up for a miserable time. I also wanted a private catholic school, so St Mikes works out, as it is private, small, catholic, and I'm as close to a legacy as it gets (my dad worked there/taught there/is still involved on campus, so everybody knows me).
