Why the fuck is Lafayette an actual oven today

Literally had to leave one of my classes for a moment to go outside and breath so I didn't collapse on the floor of my class and die from a fucking heat stroke.

Transfer to RSENR

Hello! I’m a current freshman at uvm and originally declared my major as environmental engineering in the school of CEMS, but realized by the first week of classes first semester that I needed to switch to environmental science (career path and such). I applied to transfer to Rubenstien for fall 2025 but I talked to an advisor for rsenr today and she said there isn’t a 100% guarentee that they will accept me. I have good academic standing and am in the honors college as well. Has anyone else gone through this? Does Rubenstien have a history of rejecting current students transferring colleges? Asking for help Edit: fall 2025 not spring 2025

UVM Transfer chances?

I am a student at Stony Brook University and I am originally from Vermont. I wanted to go to a college back home and centered my personal essay around giving back to the community I grew up in and that an out of state university was not for me. I also wrote about having two jobs during my senior year and how I worked extremely hard during my last year of school.

I want to know my chances of getting accepted into a spring term for UVM. My high school GPA was from SBHS in Vermont and I did pretty average with a 3.3 gpa. I don't have SAT scores and my college classes I've maintained very good grades (all A's). I'm at Stony Brook as a Creative writing major and I applied to UVM as an English major (Please do not try to convince me to do a different major). I would be In-state for UVM and live pretty close by to the college. But I just don't know about my chances of getting in as a transfer for the spring.

Please help because I do not want to spend another semester in long island I really do not like it here and I preferred living in Vermont much more and I won't have to take out any loans for college because of how much my parents can pay (Out of state costs are over our budget).

Stolen/Missing Digital Camera

Hello UVM reddit, uvm student reaching out. As one does I went out with some of my friends to Sputies and unfortunately lost my digital camera. The camera is a Canon PowerShot and it is bright blue. This is honestly my last resort to finding it and I am trying to stay optimistic. The camera has extreme sentimental value and I honestly just want the SD card back and I am willing to pay for any information about its whereabouts.

D1 Common Core

Anyone feel strongly about any of the D1 Common core classes? The only one that looks even remotely interesting from a glance is CDAE 1040 but I'd like a backup plan. The less bandwidth I have to dedicate to this throughout the semester, the better.

Are ANTH 1400 and ENGL 1210 easy?

Hello. I am a freshman making my schedule for the second semester. I am thinking about taking ANTH 1400 and ENGL 1210 because they satisfy a lot of core requirements. Specifically, D1, D2, N1, and AH2.

I am asking because my current draft of my schedule is 18 credits. Im not sure if thats a good idea because I’ve heard 18 credits a lot for freshmen. I just want an idea of how hard my schedule will be.

trinity cottages

i’m coming in the spring semester and i haven’t gotten a dorm yet but the cottages look cool/cute and seem like a good place to live but is it?? one of my biggest concerns is being behind socially since i’m coming in a semester late than everyone else so is it a good place to be social in general? i’m seeing some mixed opinions online

Redstone Commons lease available (2 rooms) Jan-Aug 2025 ‼️

Hi all, hope it’s okay to post this here. My roommate and I are going abroad this Spring and we desperately need two UVM students to take over our lease (otherwise we have to pay for an empty apartment).

It’s a two bedroom flat in the Redstone Commons, January to August 2025 (two bedrooms will be open!)

  • $1,225 per month + electric
  • Free laundry in a building closeby
  • Patio area with a nice tree and room for a hammock or two
  • Apartment comes furnished
  • Plus, Redstone residents get priority for apartments the next academic year!

The space has served us very well. Not sharing pictures here for privacy reasons, but all Commons apartments are pretty standard and I’m happy to share over messages. Please reach out to me if you are interested!

P.S. I’ve posted on a few Facebook groups but if people have suggestions for better places to advertise let me know!

Lost wallet on campus

My daughter lost her wallet on campus yesterday afternoon. Made of bright red & black leather with an embossed logo with a horse on the front. She was walking from Redstone to Target on Dorset. If someone finds it, we'd very much appreciate if you could return it to the campus lost and found, thanks.

Is anyone an English Major with a focus in writing? Or know someone who is? What are the courses like? Do you learn creative writing or more rhetoric?

Commuting as a freshman

I live like 5 minutes away from UVM and I'm most likely going to transfer from my out of state university (sbu) and I only want to commute from home. I know there is a request form if I live close by, how likely is it that they will let me commute as a freshman and sophomore?

Essay

Does anyone know what UVM looks for in an application essay? Or just colleges in general. I was thinking about writing about my decision to go into my major (elementary education) does anyone think I should find something different?

Most accessible place to ski from UVM?

I’m looking to buy a ski pass, and I’m just curious about which mountain is the most accessible, from a travel standpoint. I don’t have a car, and not many people I know have cars. Is there any busses that you can take to get anywhere during the winter? I also am part of the ssc if that helps me at all.

Top for Env Science?

I've heard that University of Vermont is an excellent school for Environmental Science, but when so google top Is schools it doesn't come up on the list. Anybody know if there is a technicality that keeps it from the list? Is it self-proclaimed but not nationally recognized? No shade, I want to live the school but also want to keep my feet on the ground. Thanks!

Is the two years of a foreign language actually required or is it flexible?

My high school did not offer a foreign language, am I just completely barred from acceptance or does this requirement go on a case by case basis?

Parking rant

I know it’s well known the UVM parking is absolute shit and I’m lucky as it is to having a parking pass, but resident red is too big of an area. It makes no sense to force someone who lives on athletic to park all the way at Redstone. Is it really that difficult to split up resident red into different permits? I guess I can’t expect anything from this university anymore, fml.
