A small city with a big heartThe University of Vermont’s stunning historic campus is located in small, yet ideal Burlington. Nestled between the Adirondack and Green Mountains on the sparkling shores of Lake Champlain, this beautiful city has been welcoming tourists and students alike for centuries.

OLD WORLD CHARM, NEW WORLD STYLEFrom boutique shopping and café hopping to live music and even livelier nightlife, Burlington is a city on the move. Yet it still retains a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. Renowned for its cultural amenities and vibrant art scene, the city boasts theatres, galleries, and museums. All are easily accessible from the campus via a 15-minute walk or quick bus ride (free for undergraduate students).

INDULGE YOUR SENSESFood lovers will be in their element. The city offers a wide range of bistros, gastropubs, and gourmet restaurants in which to sample a vast array of regional and international cuisine.

And after all that indulgence, you can work it off participating in the many outdoor pursuits available. Try biking alongside the lake, skiing in one of the mountain resorts, or just hiking around the delightful countryside of New England.
