University of Vermont (UVM)

You can definitely have fun at UVM! Interact with other students, and you will enjoy it. The countryside is very beautiful, and it is very easy (because it is close) to go to Canada. Especially Montreal is worth a trip, if you feel trapped in Burlington, go there, it is only two hours away. (They speak French there, but it is no problems getting around with English, many American kids go up there to drink anyway.)

Don't get caught up spotting how different this is from home. That's why you go! It can for a few seconds get you down that there are strange rules that you don't have at home, but they are easy to get over. The only people who did not enjoy their time at UVM, were the ones that could not let go of the familiar, and wanted to have their hand held by the university all the time. Remember, some times you just have to role with the punches. My last rant now: come here and you will have fun.

I personally always wanted to go to Canada, and that came true. We made two trips there, one only to Montreal, which is an hour far from Burlington (bus is really affordable), second one to Quebec/Ottawa/Toronto. I have very nice memories.

Travel as much as you can!!! Boston, New York and Montreal are very close; Cheapest way to travel by plane: Jet Blue directly from Burlington airport;

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