Champlain and Burlington
The town: Champlain College is located in the heart of Burlington, Vermont, on the south end of the vibrant downtown and a mile from Lake Champlain. Burlington, home to the original Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop, is a small, vibrant city. The downtown has a pedestrian-only marketplace, bookstores, tea shops and coffee shops, restaurants, an indie movie theater, a grocery store and a farmer's market, all within a mile of campus. An environmentally-conscious city, Burlington has been running entirely on renewable energy since 2015.
