<p>My son is applying to UVM partly because he got a free application and also everyone he has spoken to that goes there loves the school. People that I have talked to only have good things to say about the school. We are out of state so I have no direct knowledge of the school. I have heard that it is a big pot smoking school. Not sure if it is any worse than any other college. My older son goes to another state university and says many people smoke at his school. It could be that your friend’s daughter is unhappy and is painting a horrible picture for her father so she can transfer. I have been lucky, my son in college has always loved his school. I am sure it is hard on a parent to hear how unhappy their child is.</p>
