The University of Vermont combines faculty-student relationships most
commonly found in a small liberal arts college with the resources of a
major research institution. The university is home to 9,970
undergraduates, 1,317 graduate students, 454 medical students and 1,364
full- and part-time faculty. Located in Burlington, Vermont (perennially
voted one of America's most exciting small cities), UVM's
setting in a valley on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the
Adirondack and the Green mountain ranges, inspires visitors and
residents.
