It’s fun. Beautiful. Safe. Cool. Diverse. Busy. Surprising.
Burlington is Vermont’s largest city, and Saint Mike’s campus is only about three miles from Burlington’s downtown and its famous Church Street Marketplace [panorama].
There are over 10,000 college students in town, attending Saint Mike’s, UVM, Champlain and Burlington College, and the city keeps them busy. You can catch local and national bands most nights, eat great foods from around the world, shop for snowboarding gear, get your latte fix at a bunch of coffee shops, try on some awesome vintage clothes and spend the day on shores of Lake Champlain at the beach, at the boathouse [panorama], on the seven-mile bikepath or out on the water.
There are lots of opportunities for first-hand job experience at an internship in town. Local companies including IBM, GE Medical, Burton Snowboards and Ben and Jerry’s (yum).
Got the travel bug? Burlington is just a road-trip away from the Winter Olympic cities of Lake Placid and Montreal, plus Boston and Portland, Maine. There’s lots of bus, air and train connections in town to get you where you want to go, and bring you back again.
