What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Make sure you know what you are signing yourself up for. Do not pick classes based on what sounds cool, do it because you want to learn it. If you go to a small school get out into the real world as much as possible, because there is always next weekend to sit around the house.

Read all 5 answers What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
It really needs students' tuition dollars so it is very lenient on students who perform poorly academically or behaviorally. Students are admitted who should not have been, and continue to perform badly while detracting value from classes for others. Many students are easily temped by drugs and alcohol and lack motivation to become involved in activities/programs, or initiate their own. This is a small school and can provide many unique opportunities that some students simply ignore or fail to see.

When I talk to my friends about my school, I always end up coming back to the beautiful environment in and around the campus. There is a scenic little farm on campus where students have the opportunity to work. Also, the campus is within reach of many great hiking trails and mountain peaks, and the college itself owns a nature preserve nearby which is open for students to enjoy. As much as I enjoy the fun we have on campus, I it's nice to have a peaceful and serene place to go. Nothing beats the Vermont scenery.

Read all 1 answers Describe the dorms.
The dorms are pretty nice. They look really nice from the outside, but when the weather is really harsh, it's reflected inside as well. By this I mean that in the summer it's way too hot, and the winter it's way too cold. The heating and cooling system isn't the best. Also, the furniture in the dorms are pretty old.
