  The University of Vermont campus is in Burlington, the state's largest city. Burlington's location on Lake Champlain and near the Green Mountains of Vermont allows UVM students to enjoy the best of both city and outdoor life. Vermont is known for changing seasons, autumn being particularly beautiful. Burlington prides itself on its community and provides a very welcoming environment for UVM students. Both on and off-campus, this is a great place to live.

  Burlington is just 90 miles from Montreal, Canada, 200 miles from Boston, and 300 miles from New York City and is easily accessible by bus from these locations. The Burlington International Airport offers flights to many major cities in the United States.

  International students have many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. There are over 150 student organizations on campus for nearly every interest that allow for engagement both on and off-campus. 

  International buddy program is a special program for international students that pairs international students with a U.S. student. The "buddy" is a great way to connect with the larger UVM student community, get advice on life in Burlington and have an American friend.
