UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT

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, 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 where you’ll 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 and 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.

Quaintness. Enough said. THE MOUNTAINS The Adirondacks provide a beautiful backdrop to just about every kind of UVM experience. And Stowe, Sugarbush, Smuggler’s Notch and Bolton are just an hour from our campus. Lucky you. And you might hike Mt. Mansfield right away during TREK, our unique, first-year team-building program.

For example, Hannah Ward wants to know: how does trauma affect the human body, and what are its lingering effects? She began to work with Dr. Matthew Price and our Center for Emotion, Stress and Technology during her sophomore year to answer those questions.
