In the next few years, your life will look entirely different than it does now. And that’s the best news ever.

Because college is a time when you’ll explore, learn, make friends, eat, hike mountains (or ski down them), take risks, ace tests, have adventures, prepare for a career,

UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT

serve others. The list goes on.

And we might be a little biased, but we happen to believe the University of Vermont is the very best place you could have your college adventure. Your discovery.

Your years to become authentically you.

Because we’re home to some of the top teachers—and researchers—in the world. Who will, above all, be your professors. Some of the brightest and kindest students.

And some of the most beautiful surroundings in the country. Like the waters of Lake Champlain. The vistas of Mount Mansfield. The bustling streets of Burlington. The chocolate chunks in a Ben & Jerry’s pint. The piney scent of our air. Cheese. We could go on, but we think we’ll let the rest of this book do the explaining for us.

TURN THE PAGE. And meet the next chapter of your life.

UVM is in a city—but we have a big backyard.

It comes from our Latin name Universitas Viridis Montis, "University of the Green Mountains."

Academic Ecosystem THE CAMPUS Home to 10,612 undergraduates, 1,601 graduate students, 466 medical students, and 1,685 full- and part-time faculty. And lots of trees. And interesting labs. And‌you get it. THE CLASSROOM Forty-nine percent of our classes have fewer than 20 students. Which means more face time with your professors.

You. Here’s where we want you to start thinking about the University of Vermont as an academic ecosystem. Made up of smaller, awesome ecosystems. A whole as amazing as its parts.

Quaintness. Enough said. THE MOUNTAINS The Adirondacks provide a beautiful backdrop to just about every kind of UVM experience. And Stowe, Sugarbush, Smugglers' Notch, and Bolton are just an hour from our campus. Lucky you. And you might hike Mount Mansfield right away during TREK, our unique, first-year team-building program. THE LAKE Lake Champlain is one of our most useful—and beautiful—classrooms.

Answering the World’s Questions Gets Us Up in the Morning.

Here, there’s always an opportunity to do groundbreaking research that helps humankind. Just ask biology student Doran Forahar, who wanted experience with biomedical research. He found the perfect opportunity in the UVM Larner College of Medicine's Anesthesiology Department.

As a valued member of a team of scientists in the Whitaker Lab, he's helping investigate the effects of major surgical stress on the developing brain. His work involves studying medical literature and using the microtome—a tool that delicately slices tissue just 7-micrometers thin. Every day opens up new discoveries, and questions.

Some of Our Labs Don’t Appear on a Campus Map. The world is our classroom, after all.

A great example of this is the Melosira, a research boat where faculty and students learn about water sampling, gill netting, fish trawling, sediment coring, the native trout population, and more.

During a class, students might examine tiny silver trout with their bare hands. Their research contributes to larger studies on replenishing the trout population. After they record their findings, they can take in Lake Champlain views. It’s learning at its most scenic, while maintaining the health of an international body of water.

The right mix: UVM is in the heart of a vibrant regional food-producing area.

USDA, NSF, and other sponsored research projects offer UVM undergrads rich lab and field experience.

UVM's faculty expertise in food systems stems from being the first to offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in food systems.

Production, safety, distribution, marketing—food represents an essential industry and offers careers in science, business, engineering, and health. It is also at the crux of human welfare and justice concerns. All of which make food a natural focus of several cross-disciplinary programs at the University of Vermont.

Well, not really.

It’s only the beginning.

And we want you to remember this:

C O L L EG E IS ABOUT D I S C OV E R I N G W H O YO U A R E .

That means finding out what makes you tick, what makes you laugh, what gets you up in the morning.

And you should be able to do that in a place where everyone is free to be, authentically, themselves.

That’s the reality at the University of Vermont.

But don’t let us convince you.

Come see for yourself.
