• Medical Tidbits: The Rat Poison That Saved Lives. In 1948, a new rat poison called warfarin hit the shelves. It was so effective that it was unfortunately used in a suicide attempt by a man drafted into the Korean War in 1951. Although unsuccessful, he went to the hospital, where doctors were shocked to realize that he had an ailment usually reserved for cows who ate too much moldy hay. A shot of Vitamin K later and he was good as new. While this was intriguing, it didn’t mean much until 1955 when President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack. Doctors at the military hospital decided to try something they knew thinned the blood - the same rat poison the young soldier had used to try and kill himself. The drug worked like a charm, and warfarin was eventually added to the WHO’s list of essential medications.

Housing Opportunities

Graduate students are highly sought tenants in the Burlington area and property owners often advertise specifically to them with special rates (less than would be offered to undergraduate students). Don't hesitate to ask housing contacts if they would consider lowering the advertised rate to secure a graduate student; it never hurts to ask!

Explore housing opportunities & housing support resources via the UVM Off-campus Housing Site.

Burlington Off-campus Living Guide: Includes information to help off-campus students have successful experiences off campus. Check out the 8th edition of the UVM Off-Campus Student and Community Relations (OSCR) Off Campus Living Guide[PDF].
