“My time at Vermont College has been more than gratifying. It has been the most memorable experience of my lifetime and I will always count it as one of those major milestones. My life has literally been changed because of this program and it is difficult to express my gratitude sufficiently. I have made lifelong friends in the program, both among faculty and students, and it was a privilege to have passed this way. Whatever success I might encounter in the future will be directly attributable to what I've learned during my stay there.”
