Often refered to as “the perfect college town,” Burlington is Vermont’s largest city and the cultural center of the state. Saint Michael’s campus is located in neighboring Colchester, about three miles from Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace [virtual tour].
With over 10,000 college students in the greater Burlington area, the city thrives with music, theater, shopping, restaurants and a booming waterfront area along Lake Champlain [virtual tour].
Local internship opportunities abound with several large companies having offices in the area, including IBM, IDX, Burton Snowboards and world-famous Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
Perhaps the greatest appeal of the area is living in a manageable city with great New England charm and access to urban resources, while surrounded by the beauty of some of the most scenic views and outstanding recreational opportunities in the United States.
