And Massachusetts does have a hockey team playing for a national championship this week!
I heard there were long lines to get into the Mullins Center for students to watch the regional championship game on big screens. Must have been fun. College is an experience. Don’t discount having fun and great food for four years too.
But I still think UVM might be your option. Lots of kids don’t like the hometown school as much as out state students. It’s seems like it is too easy or not interesting enough. Not true but it’s common. You have great choices so pick what is best for you.
