University of Vermont

The University of Vermont is a destination associated with two separate transitions in the lives of Brendan Fletcher and Julian Spitzer. For Brendan, it figures in a brief report from a visit to Vermont; for Julian, it becomes the university where he begins a new chapter away from home.

Brendan’s Visit

When Eve Fletcher asked where he was, Brendan replied in a rapid series of message bubbles that he was in Vermont, visiting a friend at the University of Vermont. He added that a girl at a party was hitting on him. The exchange places the university within Brendan’s social life during his time away, though it does not establish that the party itself took place on campus.

Julian’s Transfer

Later, Amanda Olney told Eve that Julian Spitzer had transferred to the University of Vermont. He was excited to start the next chapter of his life, especially because it meant living away from home for the first time. The university therefore marks a concrete change in Julian’s circumstances: not merely a place he visits, but the setting for his move toward independence.

Narrative Significance

The two references give the University of Vermont distinct meanings in the characters’ lives. Brendan’s connection is a passing episode within a trip and a message exchange with his mother; Julian’s is a longer-term relocation reported by Amanda at lunch before Eve’s wedding. Together, these mentions make the university a point of connection between separate young-adult trajectories, while the evidence offers no further description of its campus or institutional life.
