WELCOME to Vermont State University's Lyndon campus. We're so glad to have you here! Our Virtual Tour will introduce you to some of what makes the Lyndon campus a special place to live and learn. Along the way, you'll be treated to views of our 211-acre hilltop campus and the surrounding area that will take your breath away! With our low student-to-faculty ratio, students develop strong relationships with supportive professors, and our flexible and affordable education works for our students, too. Vermont State's emphasis on experiential learning means you'll enjoy many opportunities to try out different roles in your field throughout your education. Let's get started!

Academics at Lyndon

At Vermont State, we offer the spaces and resources for students to pursue their academic passions. One such space is the Donald and Carmella Dalton Weather Center. This top-line facility for students in the Atmospheric Sciences program is available 24/7 and displays real-time weather data across a wall of eight monitors. The center's capabilities, and proximity to the John Marshall Observation Deck, make it a popular gathering spot when a big storm is on the way!
Academic Highlight
