Substance-free dorms at University of Vermont encourage wellness

- In our series What's Working, we look at innovations that are paying off in America, from education to infrastructure. About one-quarter of today's college students admit they suffer consequences from drinking too much. Nearly 700,000 people say they've been assaulted by another student who had too much alcohol. A major university is turning to neuroscience to encourage kids to tap into their books instead of kegs. Jim Axelrod reports.

I go to UVM - WE is slowly taking over this campus and using an INSANE amout of money to do so. We cut so many higher level humanities classes and part time humanities professors last year because theres "not enough money"... but WE just keeps expanding
Why can’t they just promote wellness across the entire campus? Working out, doing yoga, learning music, etc is healthy for everyone, regardless if they choose to drink or smoke marijuana. Most people need to be taught how to have a healthy relationship with substances and to learn more about them, not to avoid them altogether if they don’t want to. And people who drink and smoke also workout, do yoga, eat healthy, and live normal lives. I hate how this is being talked about.
I work there and they do promote all of that heavily
WE and Jimbo are the butts of every other joke about reslife, and the only difference between WE kids and the rest of the dorm population is that they're willing to do a lot more work covering their tracks (or to just go visit friends at another building) to get access to a gym that they won't have to trudge through half a mile of snow to get to when there's a subzero windchill.
WE is just there so that parents who keep their kids under their boot heel until age 18 can feel secure that their darling angel will be kept under somebody else's boot heel as soon as they leave the house.
oh dear, lots of thoughts about wellness environment, lots of good articles in the Cynic; in short, its a big moneymaking scheme with the neuroscience label to make it look more legitimate
Hi, actual UVM student here. The Wellness Environment (WE) is the campus joke. Students join to get an Apple Watch for free and then go get trashed, because it's perfectly allowed as long as its outside of the WE dorm. What CBS should really be covering is how UVM gives Jim endless cash and then slashed the budget for the College of Arts and Sciences this year and let go of ten professors. But yeah, UVM is doing so well! Yay yogurt!
I'm a UVM student who happens to be heavily involved with Reslife. While any student can tell you how deeply problematic WE is, I can confirm (with evidence) that WE is, in fact, a sham. It's sad that CBS chose this as a "what's working" segment. Scratch that-disturbing. I'm currently working on an expose of sorts, which just so happens to feature a lot about WE, Reslife, and the other ways UVM is so problematic. Kudos to everyone else hear speaking out-at the very least, no one can say people didn't try to point out the lies. Sadly, as any UVM student knows, what's marketable is the truth.
I just committed to UVM and since I'm in recovery, I liked the idea of WE because I'm trying to stay sober. Guess I totally fell for that.
I'm sorry to here that. As others have said, there use to be sober housing, a great program for students in recovery. A good friend of mine was involved there. Sadly, because of WE, they got rid of it. The thing about WE is, sadly, that they don't support recovery, only the image of being substance free which, as I'm sure you know, is not the same thing. There are some great support networks around Burlington and UVM, however, and I recommend talking with students in these programs. They will be more helpful to staying sober than anything WE can offer. In my opinion, evidence, and experience, at least. @@miadonahue7117
I went to UVM and the WE housing scares students from being safe. I knew a student who lived in WE and could have died because she drank too much and her friends were scared to get her help or risk being kicked out of their housing. WE also encourages a toxic community where students are encouraged to rat out their classmates for drinking or smoking. Not the school spirit I was looking for
have heard a lecture by jimbo, not a great professor; also, there are plenty of drugs in WE, and plenty of alcohol violations
ooooof. i’m a uvm student and this is very problematic/inaccurate in a lot of ways!! but let me just list the worst ~ 1. it encourages other students to snitch on students who drink/smoke outside of the dorm and makes for a stressful/elitist “community” 2. students are literally bribed to live here with apple watches and air conditioning and a private gym 3. this has eliminated the actual sober housing, that would be super beneficial for folx who are ACTUALLY trying to get/stay sober and be surrounded by others who are doing the same ??? anyways, this video sux and is super wrong
To be clear, at UVM there are only a small handful of students who buy into Jim’s words. He has a weird personality that you can see when he call 19-20 year old students ‘kids’
Aaron Lewy id like to second this statement.
Why are most students here trashing this well-intended program? is it yielding good results or not? Is it just PR or is it changing the lifestyle of many? if a considerable amount of students are bettering their lifestyle and getting better grades and better outcome then it is very worth it. We parents pay top money to send our KIDS to get a good education and grow into independent & healthy adults not to smoke pot and get trashed on our hard-earned money.
I’m in WE and I saw Jimbo around campus or in HBHB a total of twice all semester not counting the first day I got to UVM
There is a reason why you go to UVM
Did she say "tap into their books instead of kegs"?
He said "crunchy", I love it, haven't heard that slang since since the 1990s
im fed up w WE.... bye
