The best part about this school is the classroom environment. Typically the students sharing the same classes as you will share the same drive and dedication for the class. If I could change something about this school it would be the school spirit. My freshman year felt so engaging with tons of people enjoying the community, although now it seems tired and nobody cares. So I'd love to see more engagement in school spirit again.

I have loved how inclusive CVU is. I have made so many new friends from a variety of clubs, sports, and classes. and I feel included in any room. Being in Vermont, the school is not very diverse but administration actively puts in an effort to encourage exploration of different cultures. I would love it if we got some turf athletic fields because we only have grass fields and it really impacts the ability for sports such as field hockey and lacrosse to adequately play and practice.
