  Campus Safety	Its a high guy ratio campus, but generally girls feel pretty safe. All girls dorms are above first level. You may also think that with the amount of hunters there would be a gun issue, but there are no rifle weapons allowed in dorms rooms, they're kept in the campus gun safe. You have a lock to your apartment, and a lock to your personal room.
  Greek Life	None.
  Clubs and Activities	Dozens of clubs and opportunities for just about any degree, any sport, any hobby. It's also very easy to create your own club here too!
  Great for these types of students	People who love the outdoors; fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, you name it, it's here!
  Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	The majority of the people here are coming with a hunting/farm/small town background, but there are plenty of people here from the suburbs and cities to. So imagine normal college life with a red neck twist.
  Bang for the buck	Its very reasonable and affordable.
  What to do for fun	When the weathers nice, swimming, hiking, four-wheeling,biking, hunting, boating, just having fun on the water. The BWCA is just a quick drive down the road, and the school provides renting equipment. In the winter there is ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, skiing, dogsledding, and just about anytihng you can think of that has to do with winter.
  Food and Dining	Be prepared for A LOT of greasy, cafeteria food. However, you are provided with your own kitchen, so you have the ability to cook your own meals.
  Dorm Life	Depending on where you stay, the rooming options are pretty spacious and there are plenty of areas in your room, and around campus to store recreation equipment.
  Academic Rigor	You have the ability to have a close relationship with your teacher here, so its not hard to keep up on school work, and its easy to ask for help.
  Tips for prospective students	You are living in a small town environment, and its a small campus. You're going to be seeing the same people every day, so do your best to avoid stressful and uncomfortable situations, and respect students, staff, and the local citizens.
  In three sentences	Vermilion is a college with opportunities for people who ahve a love of the outdoors. If you're interested in a career that has to do with working outdoors, this is the college for you. Students not only get to work hands-on with the surrounding environment, but you also can take time outside of class to enjoy the many recreational activities Ely has to offer.
