The majority of the faculty are thouroughly over-qualified to be teaching at Castleton. The administration; however, is not. They spend money to fund the police departments borderline abuse of students when almost every teacher is complaining that they need newer desks, or equipment. On the weekends you can hear a collective boredom induced sigh from the students that haven't gone home. If you step off campus at night you will most likely be questioned by a police officer. If you stay on campus with more that 5 people you will most likely be asked to "quiet down" by a CA (Unles you have a nice one which is rare, but they do exist). The only thing left to do after that is eat. Thankfully Castleton teamed up with Sudexo to make that as difficult as possible. On the weekends Huden closes at about 7pm, because that's convienient. Luckily Fireside cafe is open - The Nazi regime of the food industry. Walking in there it will be crowded nine times out of ten and every student will be Drained of energy from waiting for so long due to inexperienced / incompitent workers. Once you make it through the agonising wait (while meeting their new "meal policy" You can successfully pay, but just hope that you dont have too much food like an extra french fry or piece of cheese because then you will have to use your points or money. Also dont get any condiments because that costs money too. After eating the four bites of food provided by Fireside you can go back to your floor and listen to the sighs again.

I am not from VT, and most of the people who go here have never even been on a plane. Rutland is full of disgusting low lives. We just got a Panera Bread and thats a big step for us in Rutland. Most guys are hicks, unless they play sports.

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 09:58:15 GMT StudentsReview 1434-85760 Copyright 2013 StudentsReview, Ecliptical Technologies, Inc. 1434-85760 1434 52 Undecided Male Undergraduate Class 2015 1st Year Negative As much as the faculty really does work to fix it, Castleton's quality of just about everything is really low. Teachers are friendly, sure, but they're really unhelpful and the material is not challenging. You get the feeling after five minutes on campus that every student here chose Castleton because it was easy to get into and it was cheap. Every athelete (of which there are a lot) will be sure to rub it in your face (even though they're a bunch of D III basement dwellers). Also, from what I've noticed, about 75% of the student body is studying for physical therapy or sports administration. I hope that bunch of unhire-able meat heads have fun competing against each other for that one low-return position.

Not to mention, the school does not have itself together. I was told by my adviser that he had signed off for me to register online for classes, only to stay up until 1:00am when the server came on, and find out that he never actually did it. It's really hard to find out how you're doing, too. The entire semester, you don't get to see your grade until midterms or after final exams. Even then, I didn't know my first semester grades until almost the end of January.

As far as the campus goes, it's disgusting.My dorm building is practically unlivable. The bathroom is completely covered in mold; the door handle is green with it. There's a teddy bear under one of the urinals that has been there all semester. The rooms are falling apart; I have to report something new falling off or breaking to my RA just about every day.

The eating situation is a ripoff. If you don't have the unlimited meal plan, you will run out of meals in the middle of your week. The dining hall serves very low quality, unhealthy meals, and is your ONLY option for food (unless you go to the Fireside Cafe and use real money). On top of being the only choice you have, the dining hall is only open for very small windows throughout the day, making it very difficult to get to a meal in time to get something sometimes.

I could keep going on and on, but the moral of this story is, don't go to Castleton State College. Sun, 04 Mar 2012 09:58:15 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/VT/CSC_comments.html
