City of Burlington, Vermont

There are few college towns, and in fact, few towns at all quite like Burlington, Vermont. The setting is spectacular; it's nestled along the shores of one of the country's largest lakes and framed by two stunningly beautiful mountain ranges. There is a lot to see and a lot to do right in Burlington, one of the most culturally rich cities in New England.

It's no wonder dozens of national publications have consistently ranked Burlington as one of the country's best places to live. We think you'll readily agree with their assessment. Downtown is a short walk from campus and hums with activity twelve months a year. This includes a marketplace offering numerous restaurants, plus lots of eclectic shopping for everything from vintage books to clothing or art.

Music festivals from jazz to rock or classical enliven every season of the year. Performance arts spaces like the Flynn Theatre and Higher Ground host some of the country's top musical acts, as well as the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, ballet, and many dramatic productions and film festivals. 17,000 college students from the surrounding area who call Burlington home create an incredible energy throughout the year.
