Freshman dorms are beyond disgusting and so small you cant move. Lounge areas are filthy, old, and nowhere you would want to study or relax. Beyond nasty. Bathrooms are in same condition.

Vomit is profuse in hallways, stairwsells, showers, toilets, floors and remains there for the entire weekend.

Laundry facility also old, broken down and filthy. Only a few machines each dorm and are constantly broken and full of gum and debris.

Drug and alcohol use is the norm Thurs thru Sunday. If you dont get wasted you really dont have anything else to do unless you join some ranting freak groups pushing to ban water bottles or promote Communism.

The health care sucks. They don't listen to you and refuse to provide proper treatment. I have been sent away twice very ill. Once with pneumonia-once with mono, sinus, lung, & ear infections. Flew home. My doctor said it was a miracle my ear drum did not rupture and leave me deaf.

Minimal transport to ski area. Maybe 1 day a week. (Not what I was told) No out door activities other than sailing organized. Pretty lame unless you want to be drunk and stoned from days on end.

No surveillance cameras in dorm entrances. Crazy man was going in girl showers and taking pics of them. SWEAR! Drunken maniac busted out window in dorm. School charged students for it. Cared less if we were safe.

Transferring out of here. Counting the days to leave. Worse conditions than a prison.

  • In my experience (Ive been here for two years now) most of the dorms are clean, modern, and relatively spacious. I'm assuming you lived in the shoe boxes.
  • -There's plenty to do, just like anywhere. Intramural sports? Clubs? Burlington? STUDYING? Go out and find it, nothing will come up to you and slap you in the face. -The healthcare, both on campus and at the hospital, is just fine. -Have you checked out the Outing club? They have outdoor activities every weekend…for next to no cost and no membership requirement. -They do in fact have cameras in dorm entrances.
