[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students have to live in the dorms the first two years, then they have to move out. My kid had one year in a new, well maintained and centrally located dorm and one year in a shabby overcrowded dorm with seven people sharing a bathroom. He preferred the latter because the vibe and social life and roommates were more to his liking. Starting around the second week of sophomore year, students and parents start panicking about where to live junior year. It is a stressful time because apartments go fast so you have to make snap decisions and also because you have to decide so early who you will be living with a year from now, when you haven’t even settled in as a sophomore and met the people in your current dorm yet. Many do at this time rent apartments for the following year, but there are other options: a couple of what are essentially privately run dorms that you apply for in sept/Oct and commit to in late fall, and a smaller stream of apartments and sublets that turn up as students decide to take a semester abroad, take a semester off, etc. it seems like people do find housing, but it feels hard and perhaps more so if you are shy, financially strapped, planning to maybe go abroad and thus unsure about signing a lease, etc. Off campus housing tends to cost a bit more than the dorms. If your kid does go to UVM you can join the parent Facebook group and hear all about everyone’s experiences 😁[/quote].

This is so helpful - thanks for taking the time![/quote]
