[quote=Anonymous]"Can the UVM applicants tell me more about the school? "

Since DC hasn't started there yet we're no experts, but the kid's reasons for applying were
--Interested in studying environmental science and they have a strong program in that
--DC is outdoorsy and loves the setting--easy access to mountains, lake, hiking, canoeing, snow sports
--The size felt right; DC hated the small more isolated SLACs and strongly wanted a bigger school, but UVM is still pretty self contained and way smaller than someplace like Michigan
--just liked the vibe and tour guide

additional parental reasons:
--With DC TAG, we knew we could afford it (unlike some privates where it would depend on aid package)
--Blue state, high vax rates. We did not absolutely rule out red states but have little enthusiasm for DC going to places where many students are unvaccinated, COVID safety is flouted, Trumpian legislatures are gutting their own higher ed systems, etc
--Even tho it is not super close, we CAN drive there, or DC can take the train, which makes a bit more convenient than somewhere you have to fly
