Course recommendations
A course based system like everywhere in the US, very much like "school" to me with lots of homework, quizzes, exams, papers, ... Be quick if you want to register for courses like photography or film.

living i community of local and international students, i had a very good time in learning english and approaching guys from diffrent cultures. Staying in Burlington was my best time I ever had in my life. The city with its own well integrated university and the great landscape around the city did a very good job to our wellbeing.
