 The reason I chose to come to UBM and do music here was because it's a really relaxed environment. I had previously transferred from a conservatory which was really awesome but it was very serious and rigid and I really liked that at the University of Vermont I could come here and take liberal arts classes and kind of get more of a taste of what the University had to offer me. So I was really excited to be able to take all of my distribution requirements, the diversity requirements. I like to take a language which is really great so being able to kind of spread myself in a wider range was something that I was really excited about and a lot of the faculty here are really awesome and very passionate about what they're teaching and incredibly talented so being able to play and sing, perform and learn from them has been a really great experience that I don't think I could have gotten anywhere else.
