"Burlington is a great college town with everything to offer from hiking and skiing to good bars. Civil Engineering is really intimate in your junior and senior year, and the professors are invested in you and are in general really cool people who do big things. Look up D. R. if you need proof."

"UVM is a pretty sweet school. Way more expensive than it should be but Burlington is sick. Probly one of the coolest college towns out there. Really fun place to live, especially during the summer. You can walk to pretty much everywhere you want to go which is great for college kids."

"The nursing program offered at UVM is phenomenal! State of the art Simulation Labs are helpful and allow students to practice the nursing skills they are learning in a safe non-judgmental environment. The instructors are very attentive to their students and give helpful feedback."

"The psychology program is large and at times impersonal but allows one to build the skill of self-motivation. The political science department is incredible. The professors are phenomenal. They are well qualified and always willing to meet with you out of class to explain concepts in detail."

"UVM is a great university with the opportunity to meet many people. The professors are some of the most helpful and invested teachers I have ever met. Church street downtown has so much to offer and it is so close to the university. You can see the lake from campus."

  • Degree: Environmental Engineering
"The Environmental Engineering program, and the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) as a whole, provides a wonderful opportunity for students to work with the most personable faculty in the country. Not only were their doors always open for help, but I was able to talk to professors about matters that did not concern academics. As a testament to class size, the classes I took through the CEMS school rarely contained more than 75 people. The engineering program at UVM is slightly under funded (in my opinion), but I do not regret coming to this school in anyway."

"This is a great program. The nursing staff work very hard to ensure your success. There are many different clinical opportunities and I always felt more than prepared for anything I was asked to do. Excellent teachers! Burlington is a great city to be in during college. There are many activities and new hobbies to interest yourself with. The environment at UVM enhances "green" education and instills environmental values in each of the universities practices."

"I believe I had lots of opportunities to learn outside of the classroom which was very beneficial to my overall education and progression to medical school. I also met many professors and people that helped me achieve goals throughout college."

  • Degree: Political Science
"I am very happy that I attended the University of Vermont. At first I thought that school was too large for my taste but I quickly I learned to love the size and everything that comes with it. The general student is usually laid back and outdoorsy. My professors in the Political Science department were extraordinary to say the least. I learned more than I could hope and was challenged every step of the way."

  • Degree: MSW
"As an out-of-state student, it is unfortunate that the tuition cost for UVM is one of the most expensive in the country. The masters program for social work, here at UVM has a lot to offer a student and the professors are extremely knowledgeable and progressive. The atmosphere here in Vermont is safe and friendly. I would recommend this school to those in-state residents who do not have to drown in debt over attendance. I have learned so much and my perspective as a practitioner has definitely benefitted from The MSW program. I would not be the social worker I am today if I did not attend this school and I hope to transform the lives of other social workers' in California with this transformative practice stance I gained. Thank you UVM."

"I think that the community of students and professors in my graduate program is very positive, approachable, and thus far appropriately challenging. Some faculty members are stretched thin in the time, however most do their best to make time to meet with students. This university is a expensive, situated in a city with very high cost of living."

"UVM's DPT programis very challenging, but notimpossible. I have onlybeen in it for a semester and already feelas if I have learned so much. Professors truly want you to succeed and push student collaboration, which is greatly valued by all. The workload is strenuous at times but you can make it through. I only wish there was more full-time staff available."

  • Degree: Biology
"UVM is a great school for environmental majors, the programs for these majors are fun and more in-depth than most colleges (off-site labs, educated professors involved in field research, etc.). It is also located in a great college town and just 40 minutes from amazing ski mountains like Stowe and Sugarbush resorts, as well as tons of hiking and lake outdoor fun. The only regret I have is that I didn't really assess my financial situation before going to this university. I learned pretty quickly that UVM is an extremely expensive state school that gives almost nothing to families with single parents and no assets, which is unusual. I had to struggle every year with financial services just to scrape by with loans to cover the ridiculous 53,000/yr tuition, which doesn't include any amenities either. Burlington is also a very expensive city, so if you want to have fun you need money to spend. Overall it is a good school with good people in a great location, just make sure you have the finances to cover it!"
