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!”

Masking is a hotly debated topic at the moment. Some professionals have differing opinions, but our stance is that while a more inclusive world is something we can all be working towards, there`s a time and a place for the ways we show up, and knowing how to differentiate has value.
