Mountains of Opportunity
The Green Mountain State has even more fun than foliage
It’s no wonder so many Hollywood scenes take place in the beautiful setting of Vermont. Hidden away in the Northeast, this Green Mountain State is a must when considering colleges. Vermont has 23 colleges and universities, with student faculty ratios as low as 8:1 for intimate learning.* Vermont was voted 2nd for most peaceful place to live* and has a low 3.7% unemployment rate with plenty of industries to explore. Government, real estate, healthcare, retail, finance, and insurance are a few of the popular industries you can look toward after graduation, and a business degree would serve you well. Keurig Green Mountain, Burton Snowboards, and Ben & Jerry’s are a few of the companies headquartered in this dreamy landscape where you could start your career.
And regardless of your future dreams, you’ll have an unbelievable time venturing through Vermont. As the healthiest state in the U.S. for 4 straight years, you can be sure to stay in shape. Between the swimming, biking, boating, hiking, and hitting the slopes, you’ll be looking for time to study. When the sun goes down or the temperature drops, you’re still in luck with live music, theater, and art galleries. If you’re looking for a small-town feel with all the amenities and sophistication of the big cities, come to Vermont for your higher education.
