Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
UVM is a great academic school. I'm a bio major and it's definately known for that kind of thing, environmental majors are big here because you're so close to nature. Liberal arts majors are also good from what I hear. However, I find the student body to be self absorbed, cliquey and aloof. You really have to agree with their point of view to be acquainted with them. Smoking pot helps your chances socially, it's about the only thing to do for underclassmen under 21. There are some parties but they're usually crowded and lacking "resources." This is supposed to be a "liberal" school where people have an open mind to everything but if you drop any semi conservative idea you will be shunned by most of the student body. There are two types of people here: hippies and meatheads, and they're all shallow. But there are SOME good people here but you really really have to work to find them, but who feels like doing that much work? I'm transferring.
