[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love thoughts from poster who visited UVM. [/quote]

We toured UVM last September. The tour was one of the most thorough tours we've done (and I think we've done about 15 of them with three kids). The tour started in the Union and focused primarily on the "newer" parts of campus- near Central Campus. The tour was very STEM- focused. Our guide was a chemistry major and she spoke a lot about her classes and personal experiences with the major. It was a longer tour as well- I believe it was an hour and a half. We went through several classroom buildings, the Library, one cafeteria, a dorm room, etc. All of these areas seemed well kept and clean etc. (I know that would seem obvious to have the stops on the tour be clean, but we've had a few experiences at other schools that weren't... I'm looking at you Miami U..)

I didn't realize before touring that the UVM Medical Center Main Campus is literally on campus, which would be great for STEM majors (as well as health care issues).

The day before the tour we also did a sail on the lake with the Whistling Man Schooner Company. I would highly recommend it if you can make it there when it's warm. During trip we ate at Pizzeria Verita, the Daily Planet, and The Farmhouse Tap and Grill and loved all. We also ate creemies which are worth the hype.

My daughter absolutely loved Burlington and everything about UVM. The city is a really beautiful atmosphere filled with shops and tons of great restaurants somewhat close to campus and the views of the lake are pretty amazing. The students seemed nice and friendly as well. The visit put the school at the top of the list. Our only reservations of UVM are the winters, forced triples, and off campus housing shortages.

On a side note- we loved the proximity of the Burlington Airport to the campus. It was only a few miles distance and our daughter felt like she'd be very comfortable taking an uber to the airport and vice versa.

Please let me know if you have any questions. [/quote]
