I want to plan a visit to UVM sometime this winter, and i was wondering when would be the best time to come up.
possible +k for non-douchey answers
 
if you want to come to burlington to ski the next day i'd deffinitely say mid winter to early spring (jan-march?) and ski stowe. should visit st mikes, although uvm has a couple nice urban rails.
 
are you coming up to visit the school or just ski and scope out burlington? If you're looking at the school, we've got a freestyle ski team at UVM if youre interested. i wont ramble, but if you have any questions about it, PM me or check out our site. www.uvm.edu/~freeski
 
february or march is good for skiing. January is usually hit or miss. However this is probably one of the worst times to look at the campus because it is covered in snow/ice/mud/trash from the winter. If you want your parents to think campus is beautiful wait till graduation, they make it look pretty then.
 
Just learned that I got in too... anyone wanna pitch UVM to me?

Currently my dad really wants me to go there, but I kind of feel like its for financial reasons, once im 18 I can legally change my residence to his place in VT and get in state tuition.

I kinda feel like I'd enjoy a smaller school. Did any of you think this then end up falling in love with UVM?
 
honors college seems pretty legit. more work to do for sure, especially when you're a senior. i believe that all honors college students must write a final thesis, but im not positive.just curious, but how would you be considering UVM for financial reasons? UVM is fairly expensive, especially for a state school. i dont think you can move there as a student and become a resident since your permanent address will technically be wherever your home is, unless you pay for an apartment off campus in addition to your dorm fees, which would be extremely expensive.
ill pitch UVM to you. as with any school, you find the kids you like, and the kids you dont like. i have had a great experience here, and been able to meet people i never would have met that i am far more similar to than some friends back home. the nearby skiing options (jay, mrg, sugarbush, stowe) are some of if not the best options in the east, plus if you're into it, there is some incredible backcountry and sidecountry spots to ski. there are always options, whether its with a club or friends, to get outside, check out the mountains or the lake and explore vermont, but you just have to find them. clubs are the way to go...great way to find a little niche and meet some cool, or weird people with similar interests. get yourself off campus often after the first few weeks to experience what burlington is really like, and eventually, to learn more about vermont and what it has to offer. as far as classes go, the difficulty varies. you could have shitty teachers in all of your intro classes, or have good teachers which will definitely make the classes better.
i guess what im saying sort of pertains to any college of the same size, but UVM and burlington and vermont have so many options and thats really what you have to take advantage of while your in school here, if you do chose to come. but i have had no regrets since ive been here, at least that i could think of while ive been typing this.
 
My parents are divorced, my dad is a VT resident. I'm pretty sure he's looked into it and once I'm 18 if i change my primary residence to his house, ill get in state. That plus hopefully merit scholarships will be muchhh less then all the other schools I'm looking at, all over 50k a year with no merit scholarships.

As far as your summary, thanks a bunch. I didn't really have a great time on my tour but i totally feel like more time on campus would help me a bit more. I definitely think I'm going to come up for an accepted students day.
 
yah thats legit. where is the house? the deal with it the way my friends have done it. You have to say yer gonna commute from the house. so if its within like 2 hours you should be fine. I'm instate, my pops works here, so I pay room and board and thats it. If you can get instate its like 20g give or take. If you can get some scholarships as well itll be even less. UVM is a chill school. If you wanna smoke pot smoke pot, if you wanna be a shitfaced frat boy you can do that, if you wanna be a shredder theres kids all around and the UVMFST which Alev. is pres of and many other nsers. If yer a hipster there are plenty of those. hippie yah you know it. Everything and everyone is at UVM.
 
UVM was a fun time for me, met some great people, great parties and feel like I got a decent education. I just hated walking everywhere.
