I just got my acceptance letter, as well. I really don't know much about the program, but Burlington looks gorgeous lol
I've heard amazing things about Burlington. My friend is from Vermont and it's his favorite place! I just can't seem to find out much information about the program on their website. Have you found much?
What are your thoughts on the program?!
There is an info session Jan 15 so going to find out more then. I am accepting my seat!
Where did you find the info session?
It was in one of the emails they sent me with my acceptance letter
Yes I took it in undergrad. There is like a strange link at the bottom of the letter. I didn't even notice it at first.
I found it- thank you! Are you in Vermont or will you be going form out of state?
Out of state. Originally from PA
Hi! I was recently accepted also! I am either totally blind or I never received the email that had the link to the info session. I'll email someone about that tomorrow, but do you have more details? Is it virtual I'd imagine?
How do you like living in Burlington?
I actually live in Waterbury which is about 30 minutes South of Burlington. I had a few friends who lived in Burlington and they seemed to really enjoy it, but it is definitely a college town. Housing is crazy expensive and some of them where paying $800+ a month just for a room in a 3 bedroom apartment which is why I decided to live out of town. UVM students can ride the commuter busses for free so that's what I was doing when I was actually commuting to campus before everything went online.
Yeah, I don't think I want the college-town vibe haha are there fun things to do locally? good mountains to explore and that kind of thing? I've only been to Vermont once but I was in Stratton Mountain so I'm not sure what to expect
There are a ton of mountains you can hike within an hour or less of Burlington, Camel's Hump, Mt. Hunger, Stowe Pinnacle, Mt. Mansfield are all good ones! I used to walk down to the waterfront after classes and see the sunset on the lake, and there also is a super nice bike path that goes along the waterfront. Besides the shops and restaurants/bars on Church St. I haven't really explored much more of Burlington honestly.
The link was really hard to find.. I just happened to click on it! It is virtual. Are you accepting your seat? Anyone know if there is a facebook page or somewhere to connect with others who are accepting their seat?
I found the link! I have to work this afternoon so I am just going to have it running in the background. I'm accepting my seat, and I'm not sure there is a fb group either.
