unless you go to st. mikes, then you don't really know what it's like here.
also, we don't live in dorms all 4 years either...we just have *for the most part* gauranteed housing. I could live off campus if I wanted to next year. I'd rather have a suite though and go to europe in the spring. and you do learn how to cook or whaterver cause after sophomore year you get a limited meal plan like you do at most other schools. sure, smc is small but if you don't like it then don't go here.
...what? I don't mean to personally attack you but, spending what...2 nights at a school and befriending someone who has negative friends doesn't give one the best impression of a school. And again, not to personally attack anyone, but I've had people in this thread call me asking if there was anything going on here cause they were bored downtown.
There's a ton of hate towards SMC. Like I said before, you gotta go h
St. Mikes is straight up better in every way. First off you only have to life in dorms freshmen year, after that we have sick housing. For instance I live in a 5 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and full kitchen and living room and it's dope! Second of all, we don't have apartments downtown therefore we don't get our parties busted by the cops, we rage all night and it's sick. Another point, our classes, which is why you're in college to begin with, are awesome. Professors are super chill and the percentage of you getting a good job out of college are really high. So you won't have to sell crack. Also if you want to, you can take any class at Champlain, it's really easy to transfer the credits.
As for partying and traveling downtown? It's easy, I go to the bars with my friends a lot and we party at people's houses downtown. Catch a ride, split a 7$ taxi ride or just crash on the couch. No big deal. As for the bubble? Yeah some kids don't do shit. But the ski and snowboard club kids shred all the time. I personally go to the mountain four or five days a week. Each school has something different to offer. Adrian, I'm pretty sure you've only been to a freshmen dorm in which case your perception of the school is going to be pretty skewed. We all know freshmen dorms are whack.. you should know that too, you live in one. And I hate to break it to you, but OAR doucebags exist at UVM too. It's cool though, I'm sure sitting in your room at Mercy on NS all the time is so much better than living in the bubble at St. Mikes.
this is turning into the biggest hate fest ever...everybody likes different things, and different schools fit different people
shut the fuck up with all this hating.....unnecesary
My largest problem is the social scene, if you are looking for big parties than this is not the school for you. Please, take my advice, a typical weekend is getting buzzed and than going to the 300's. First of all the 300's are over rated, its upperclass students dancing on tables. Also, there are at the most 50 people at the party. the biggest problem if you go to these parties you have to bring your own beer!!!!! If this is not a big deal to the people that are not in college, you might not kill yourself after 4 years. I mean what i am saying and am sorry that it took so long for me to explain the social life is lower than a C-. I may trasfer....i actually have the forms but arent sure if i will go through with it. I went to see my sister at St. Lawrence and had a blast. look at SLU before saint mikes. best of luck with your decision on a college.
