Hear From Burlington Students:
“Mansfield Hall provides me with the confidence to try new things, because I know I’ve got a team supporting me every step of the way.”
“I always knew I wanted to go away to college, and even through I’m really smart in school I was also really worried about having to do so many new things at once, all by myself. With Mansfield Hall I’ve always got someone to check in with when I don’t know how to do something, and I’ve learned how to be a successful college student.”
“I feel like Burlington is the kind of place where I can be myself. It is really nice to be able to be in a community that values diversity, and where I’m encouraged to be myself.”
“My idea of going away to college by myself was that it was going to be the place I could reinvent myself, where professors would be fascinating, where I’d have the motivation to always do my work, and where making friends would come easily. The reality is that I spent my first year in my dorm room alone, overwhelmed, and lonely and I really struggled academically. I just didn’t know how to organize my school work or my life, and I was miserable.
It wasn’t until I came to Burlington that I finally found the college experience I’d been looking for all along – friends, fun things to do, people to study with, people who understood me and didn’t judge me, people to help when I needed it.
I’ve learned that I can be successful, that asking for help is normal, and that having a community of friends makes even hard things easier. This has been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Thanks Mansfield Hall!”

Sometimes a 5K is called a fun run- can confirm that much fun was had by all! 🏃
We`re doing our best to soak up these last fall days- it was well worth the effort this hike took!
There’s some fascinating research coming out surrounding the possible links between neurodivergence, hyper mobility, and regulation right now.
The overall conversation is surrounding the idea that neurodivergent folks are 4 times more likely to have generalized hypermoblity- a connective tissue disorder where the ligaments in the body are looser and thusly have to effort extra hard to hold everything in the body together. This additional effort the body has to exert daily to keep everything in order may be linked to a host of things, all pointing to the idea that these folks systems are working overtime to keep regulated.
Exercise, especially strength training can help ease this strain on the body by strengthening the muscles around the ligaments, which can help ease the job of those ligaments with consistent training over time.
Mansfield Hall offers students the opportunity to join in for two structured workouts a week focused on upper and lower body as well as core stability for this reason!

This week at Mansfield Hall was our week of giving.
We recognize that we benefit from the communities we are a part of, and it’s our beliefs that it’s our responsibility to give back to the spaces that enrich us.
Students and staff were welcomed at a local farm to harvest over 1,800 lbs of apples, which will go to feeding 500 food insecure families around the state.
Happy Friday Everyone 🍎
