Answer: My favorite part about living on campus is you have your own room. One another thing about living on campus is you can decorate your room. When you are running late you can text your mentor that you are coming. Another thing is you can go to the gym together and watch a show together. Another thing about having a roommate is they are the older roommate that they can help you find something on campus. When you have your own room your family can visit you. I have a kitchen to cook a chicken and I like doing my own thing. The downside is we have to share the laundry space but it is amazing living on campus when you never sleep away from your home. I am so glad I am on campus. (A first year student Sophia R)
We are excited to welcome our new students to the Think College Vermont program. We kicked off the school year with a scavenger hunt to help the students navigate the UVM campus. The students got the opportunity to visit the club fair on campus then joined the freshman BBQ.
Here is Thomas reflecting! His first semester as a student at UVM and we are so happy to have him here.
