Re: What are your opinions about the SE program?
Hi Slide:
To quickly answer your questions, the music scene in Burlington is completely amazing. I don't listen to much electronic music, but I'm sure that you wouldn't have a hard time discovering a plethora of music that you're interested in.
I enjoy Software Engineering quite a bit. As this is a relatively new major, Champlain is still working at hammering out the kinks, but things are beginning to truly get rolling in recent years. We have intermediate and advanced courses in java, c++ and .NET, and we cover many of the managerial aspects of software engineering.
I live off campus, so the only money I pay Champlain College is the 14K tuition each year. Between scholarships and grants, I only wind up paying CC 7-8,000 each year. I feel that the education that I am getting is quite worth less than 10 grand per year.
I haven't eaten on campus in 3 years (since Freshman year) but when I did, I couldn't stand the food. However, we have just gotten a brand new cafeteria, and I've heard that the food has improved.
I'm not positive about double majors, but I know people that are minoring. I'm sure with a little research you could find out pretty quickly.
The dorms on campus are completely amazing. They're old restored colonial mansions, and they're pretty much the coolest dorms on the face of the planet. I reccommend South House, if you decide to stay on campus. The apartments in Burlington range from 350-400 for an "affordable" place, and 400+ for the nicer apartments/houses.
I would definitely come check Champlain College out. Before you do, be sure to email either Mike Malony or myself, and we'll give you the insider's tour, if it's something you're interested in.
Good luck,
John Kadlik

Re: Alumni
Hi John!
Great to hear back from you..... and also to know it is the same "old John"! Julie and I often discuss the time we all had in our own SWE lab! Now it is a shared space with no place to gang up that way. Congratulations on your engagement and look forward to seeing you up here. You could always visit us here anytime. What about your music?
Eric and Mike are doing fine for themselves. I got them a new client .... hope it will work out fine for all. Bob teaches for me on the side. He is very active with .NET and Sql usergroups. Dan is doing fine at CT. Vared has moved back to Israel.
A lot of things have changed here and are changing. Julie must have updated you. We missed you and Bob at the lunch in July.
The club is going fine. The entire credit goes to you folks for having worked so hard to set up this club. The same constitution exists even now... no changes are made. You can look it up on the site and of course the most famous late night LAN parties!
Alumni is always invited to take part in the club activities. It is a standing invitation.
.... stay in touch. It is always good to hear back from all of you.
Shubha
