Great school
Overall 4.6
Awesome. Burlington is walkable and good public transit. Many on-campus jobs plus the Leahy center. Internet is fine. A lot of people have problems with the food but I think it's fine. No parties but there are a ton of events that happen around campus and in your dorm building. You have to make an effort to go to them if you want to make friends.

Champlain is an amazing school, and allows you to be yourself from day one. 1st yr "dorms" are Victorian mansions and the friends you make there stick until graduation or beyond. The business school is well taught by amazing professors who want you to succeed and will work with you to make sure you do your best

Burlington is amazing! Champlain is a smaller school but still has tons of opportunities for all types of people. If you want to be social you can be social. If you're a gamer there are tons of people for you to connect with. Everyone here is friendly and overall it's a great environment.

A place to call home. Close-knit campus. Within a year, you think you know everyone. Faculty is awesome and the campus views and nooks will make you want to stay forever. Burlington is incredible. It is the biggest place in the smallest way. You start to feel like a local in no time. First yr dorms are also SO close-knit. Find your forever people.

I'm very happy here at Champlain. I'm in my second year and this was my first choice. Admittedly, I tend to feel alone and I constantly miss home, but you'll get that from any college. Champlain does an excellent job at starting discussions and allowing student to give feedback and get involved. They also have incredible academics and faculty.

Terrible School.
Overall 1.9
I wasn't super impressed by the academic quality of a lot of my major classes. Seemed like some professors used YouTube more than a textbook...and not in the ways I'd want them to either. Save yourself 36k a year and go somewhere good.
Overall 1.9
Champlain does not care about its students. It's a waste of time unless you are 100% sure that X is the job you want and you only want to take exact steps to get there. Warning to anyone interested in Game Art, your only options will be 3D Modeling or 3D Animation, there is no exploration of other possibilities. No social life here either.
Overall 1.9
Unless your completely adamant on the career field you want to go into and absolutely don't want to go out of state for it, Champlain is an okay choice. The college puts most of it's resources into the gaming careers so if you want to go into anything else I'd look elsewhere. The college does little to nothing to keep it's students after year 1.
