Burlington college isn't a very good school. You'll regret going there if you're doing it only to be in the area. If you really want to get into champlain, stay at UConn, get your grades up, and apply again. A bunch of my friends did that.

wait...

you go to Uconn but you couldn't get into champlain?

that doesn't make any sense. I thought Uconn was a pretty legit school. Champlain is supposed to be super easy

It could be that is gpa/credits werent high enough.  Dont go to school to ski, go to get a job.
Even if you decide to go out and bum it for a season or two after graduating, you still have a degree.

I live down the street from Burlington College. I can't say much for the academics, but from looking at it (including the location in the Ole North End), I can't think it'd be better than attending CCV.

I'd get your grades up and try again at Champlain. I went to St Mikes, but found myself going down to Champlain pretty much every Thursday thru Saturday. Good school, great programs for graphic design and video work. I've also heard that the business school is good as well.

from what ive heard it's not really legit.... i dont think too many serious companies are going to take a degree from champlain seriously





CCV is legit for getting credits, not full time . Its way nicer than burlington college

that's exactly what i was going to say.

get your grades up and reapply to champlain. getting your act together and reapplying is a serious indication to them that you screwed up in the past, but are willing to work your tail off now.

As far as I know they only have a single building, but they are great for film majors. Other then that I know nothing.

Champlain is super legit, and worth working to get into. I go there and I dont have to many complaints...if your into big schools tho, your looking in the wrong place.

haha champlain isn't a big school. UVM isn't even a big school. They are actually mad small as far as colleges go.

Burlington college is MAD small though. And are you really still alive Mski?
