University of Vermont (UVM)

Books were really expensive, with a little bit of looking around you should be able to get good deals on anything, including cars, food, ... I spend quite a lot of money, definitely very very very much more than I would have spent at home, but this was what I had expected. I you go somewhere with only two suitcases means some expenses just to "get started". And at the start you have to figure everything out.

Coming from a big European City Burlington bars might be a little disappointing, there are a couple, but most of them look the same. No clubs or places to "dance", no good places for music/concerts (exception: Metronome on Main St. and Higher Ground in Winooski).Don´t get me wrong, you definitely can go out at night, but do not expect a great variety. As of what I have heard pretty good for American standards though, there are definitely many more much more boring places than Burlington!

canada!!! montreal and quebec new york, phili, bosten and washingtion are great places mardi gras in new orleans florida and key west and my favorite place is the coast of maine, the lobster, acadia nat park... within the states, travelling is so easy

UVM is located by Canadian border, so the Canadian visa could be hepful for those willing to attend UVM.

Accomodation provided for international students is okay, we have all the neccessary facilities including laundry and free parking in the area. However for American students University provides accomodation only for the freshmen and softmores, all the others are to look for the housing themselves.
