got bliss? go to MUM
Overall 4.4
I think MUM is setting the grounds for the future of higher education with it's block schedule, organic dining hall, and focus on the students' overall health and well being. Having 22 hours of "in-class" time per week (much more than your average university) allows for more learning with less stress. I don't see why all schools aren't doing this
Overall 4.2
Transfering from UVM to MUM was one of the best decisions I've made. The atomosphere for growth, both intellectual and spiritual, on this campus is unprecedented. You should know that there is much less drinking and partying here than your typical school but there is still a great diversity of interests. Not everyone is "spiritual" but many are.

What a unique community I am thrilled to wake up to every day. As for the location, I hail from several large cities and here in Fairfield, I am never bored. Every class I have taken has brought a fresh perspective to my thinking. Classmates, staff and professors really care about your well-being. Blessed!
