How I got to Vermont
Alright. So I'm from Jersey, what am I doing 'Jersying up Vermont?!
Well, let's go back to my thought process way back in 2004...
"Hmm, got to go to college. Let's see here, oh look a big college book!"
"Alright, uhhh, I like snowboarding, a lot, therefore I need to look at colleges in snowy places."
"Ooo, look at that, Vermont eh? I think I have a cousin there. Maybe I could visit a few small colleges up there and crash at his joint."
That very spring break, I took my first road trip. Five hours later, I was in Richmond, VT visiting my long-lost cousin. I hadn't seen him for years, and I had forgot how much of a gas he was! That week we hit the slopes and looked at Champlain and Johnson State.
I ultimately chose Champlain for its location in downtown Burlington, an area of Vermont with an actual population. Don't forget I'm a Jersey boy, whether I like it or not, not Grizzly Adams. Although there can be days when I wish I could just go live in the woods...

Hey
I was wondering if it is hard to change your major once the year begins. I know with the upside down curriculum you jump right into your major so I wasn't sure how big of a problem it would be if someone decided to switch. I am hoping to stay with professional writing but I worry if it doesn't work out that changing my major would be problematic. I was also wondering if Champlain had a good study abroad program. I love to travel (Spain is my ideal destination.) so if it were to work out, I think the benefits of studying abroad would be an excellent experience. I am a senior this year, which is quickly winding down, and as of now, Champlain is my first choice but I only have a little more time to think things through so I really appreciate your help!
(I’m from NJ too and I completely agree with you about the whole population factor.)
