"For a (student) sizing uppublic universities, there couldhardly be a more appealing placethan UVM. The size is manageable,

Burlington is a fabulous collegetown, and Lake Champlain and the

Green Mountains are at yourdoorstep. Vermont feels like a pri-

vate university … wide aca-demic offerings and an abundance of clubs

and co-curricular pursuits … draw students fromaround the country."

– Fiske Guide to College

"A sensation of spectacular spacious-

ness greets you as you stand at the edge of Lake

Champlain, your vision of life at that moment

dominated by the Green Mountains on one hori-zon and the Adirondacks on the other. But if youmeander up College Street, cross over a bustling

Church Street with its shops and restau-rants, stroll past a series of tidy homes, and

navigate the modest hill, you finD your-self in a cozy pastoral setting that envelops

you in an intimate ambiance that cannot be de-

scribed, only experienCeD. You have ar-

rived at the University of Vermont." – Boston Globe
