I am considering moving to the area from rural northern CA. I cannot seem to find a sub for the area but I am very familiar with the school. Id really like to chat with locals. Especially if anyone has moved from or is familiar with Humboldt County, CA and how I might fit in.

Hi, I’m going to be starting landmark next fall, and I was wondering what type of stores are near the campus like big chain stores like Walmart, target, shopRite. This includes restaurants, clothing stores ect. Wondering if I can apply there to make extra money while I’m in college.

is there a landmark college discord or anything like that? I'm coming this fall and I wanted to try and get to know people before school starts but I can't find a discord or anything.

Also do we need to bring a fan or is one provided ? I will be flying in and since this is just for 2 weeks won’t be able to get a mattress topper and such. What do you guys recommend?

Hello, I'm commenting on here to say that YikYak should be taken down and can the bad people please stop trash talking on other people's good qualities. I mean we're all students here with ADHD and other learning differences. We're all human, we make mistakes but for people to trash talk us for one mistake we've done is not cool. Or for having an emotional attraction to someone else. Like I get that the other person might not have an emotional attachment to other people but like defaming and trash talking that person, is that really necessary? Now, I'm also not saying that everyone's bad there are a lot of good people in this school I'm just saying can people in general stop defaming others and trash talking them. Now, I'm ok with people trash talking people eith their close friends from home but to talk about with the with a big group of people or on social media is another thing. Also, a lot of the people on the app seem to be racist, homophobic, or both. For example, one person got defamed on YikYak because most people didnt believe in his posts after they said something racist in one of his shows. Then, they tried to blame it all on him. It was so unfair. I'm honestly tired of all the bs and I just want it end. I hope you understand that I'm not mad or anything and that I just wanted to address this issue. Landmark is still an amazing school. ✌️

So I got accepted and will be attending Landmark in fall 2024 and I have some questions.

As a background, I graduated high school in 2022 and then went to Mount Holyoke College in fall 2022/spring 2023. When I was younger I loved school and was deemed a 'gifted' student (as I'm sure some of you relate), but then in high school things got complicated (COVID, chronic illness, other stuff) and basically when I finally was able to try and focus on school, all of a sudden it was really hard.

Long story short, I finished high school, got into a good college, and went off to Massachusetts, and then promptly crashed and burned.

My chronic illness got really bad to the point where I needed to use a cane, I ended up being on academic probation after my first semester but I managed to get my grades up enough to be in good standing by the end of my second semester. But basically I realized that this wasn't a sustainable situation for me and I decided to take some time off from school to figure stuff out.

This past fall I discovered Landmark. Honestly I went to the open house mostly to shut my mom up but when I got there I realized it actually might be helpful for me.

I got in and I could have started this spring (2024) but I decided I still needed some time and I've actually been doing pretty well. I've been managing my physical and mental health issues, I have a job, I'm in a relationship, and I just really like where I am.

But I've realized I've gotten sidetracked to I'll try and get to the point (can you tell I have ADHD lol);

I am one of those people who gets nervous about new things and going up to a college in the middle of nowhere Vermont (no offense) makes me hesitant.

I've learned that a way to deal with this is to gather as much information as I can, but the problem is, there doesnt seem to be much info out there.

I can only find 3 images of the dorm rooms (2 VR things on the website, and 1 picture on the internet) and basically I have some questions.

This is getting pretty long so I'm gonna just do bullet points of the major things (if any of y'all brought measuring tapes, this would be the time to grab them):

- how big are the shelves (I saw that there is a built in shelf for each student next to the window and I would love to know the exact dimensions of those (I have plants and I want to know how much space there is))

- how big are the dressers (it looks like there are 2 that you can stack or arrange how you want and I would love to know the dimensions of the individual dressers and if possible, the inner dimensions of the drawers)

- the height of the desks (specifically the chair/leg area (I'm bringing my own desk chair and I want to know if it will be able to fit under the desk))

- is there a mirror in the room or should I bring my own

- is there an option to loft your beds (not necessarily bunk them together, but basically get a second set of legs and raise my bed higher (also if so, do they also provide railings))

​

I have lots more questions but I'll wait and see if anyone responds to this so yeah,

sorry for the rambling and such but I'd like to think y'all can relate.

thanks

Hey, alum here.

I have a feeling current and former students of Landmark probably have been enjoying the new show Wednesday. I feel like this has probably occurred to others already but the metaphorical resonance of a school for "outcasts" (monsters, magical kids, and weirdos) that no less takes place in Vermont is hitting home with not just me.

Anyone have thoughts about that? Would it be crazy for the school to reach out and coordinate some joint marketing thing between LMC and the, like, Wednesday production?! It's effable, but why not?

Check this out! I'm curious as well as skeptical about it.

We live in CA and have never visited Vermont until now.. My son has struggled with weak exec functioning in traditional schools and is now enrolled as a Shark.

Pls advise on how to prepare him mentally or even practical advise of moving a teen away from jom first time...Thank you.

New student, why is no one talking?

Have not been able to find any of you guys this whole semester. Where are you guys?

So yeah, I'll be attending Landmark College in the fall and my major will be Computer Science. I know Putney is a very small town, but Brattleboro is close by and has some things to do. I've never been to Vermont before, so anything that I should check out I'd be more than willing to!
