The University of Vermont is perhaps best known for its student activism and scenic location. Burlington, Vermont is a beautiful city nestled in the Green Mountains. It is home to a great deal of culture and vibrant energy. The students of UVM take the civil responsibilities seriously but seem to always have fun while doing it. It is not uncommon to witness multiple demonstrations in any given week at UVM. There are many passions, including the environment, workers rights, and international affairs, that are often discussed at public forums. Overall, UVM is a fun, energetic, and scenic community.

The University of Veront is known as one of the most up-and-coming neuroscience schools in the country. They are currently focusing on their Transdiciplinary Research Initiative program, and have dedicated a specific spire to Neuroscience, Behavior, and Health. The undergraduate Neuroscience major is only in its fourth year, but is already gaining credibility. It was because of this undergraduate program that I moved to Vermont from Oregon last summer. There is also the fact that the two individuals who wrote Alfred Adler's book about his theory of Psychodynamic Therapy were once on staff at UVM.

The University of Vermont is best known for its beautiful surrounding nature. Everywhere you turn on campus the mountains follow you. It is especially beautiful walking back to your room during sunset and looking at the sky over the mountains. During the nice weather you can go down to the waterfront and eat at a restaurant overlooking Lake Champlain. The proximity to the mountains allows students to go enjoy the winter nature and go skiing or snowboarding. When it's nicer out, students often enjoy the mountains by hiking or climbing. The nature possibilities are endless at UVM.

UVM is best known for its activism amongst its students. Refered to many as a liberal school, many students will fight for social, enviornmental, and political change on both the local and national levels; many times proving that few people can have a large impact on society. Locally, many students educate others of the need to recycle. There are also advocates for the LGBTQA at UVM who fight for rights at the national level. Activism in this school has given vermont students a sense of pride in diversity.

Very green, very liberal, fantastic school for people who are interested in exploring diversity among gender. Is not very racially diverse, but does promote acceptance and ultimate equality. Has a reputation for pot and drinking, but it can be avoided if you do not want to get involoved with it. VERY outdoorsy and most people ski/ride.

It's probably best known for being green, although in actuality the University is not as green as it claims to be. There are a lot of students who are environmentally-focused, however, and are into forming networks such as local food buying groups.
