This school went from four stars my freshman year to being one star (now a senior). The gyms are dirty and machines are not fixed in any semblance of a timely manner when they break. The food is often bad and not nutritious (example: desert bars as options for dinner rather than something healthy). The departments are underfunded. The school can’t fund clubs and discourages students from forming new organizations. A student led extension of a non-for-profit started at UVM was discouraged because it competed with the bookstore, and a bunch of red tape was thrown at it. They created a new residence building on a parking lot, and didn’t account for those lost spaces. Only one actual option for food other than the dining hall exists, and the food is unhealthy and not very diverse. The best thing about this school is the faculty, and even some of them are frustrating. My friends with learning differences are frequently challenged by a lack of sympathy and understanding. Very little diversity exists on this campus. We haven’t had a real spring/fall concert since my freshman year. College culture is being squashed- they’re having finals on Derby Day this year and academic events on P Day, two things that make spring semester great. Overall, if this review can save someone from coming here, I did my job.
The education department has difficulty supporting their different learners. They fail to demonstrate what effective teaching looks like, undermining the departments authenticity.
I transferred to Saint Mike's after studying two semesters at Vermont Technical College, and the difference is huge. I know tuition difference is huge too, but it's worth it. From professors, staff to students, the library, and classes, everything is great. A best experience!!
