Community Involvement

Northern Vermont University-Lyndon is located in Lyndonville, Vermont, a small village of 1,200 residents tucked away in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.  Despite our small-size, you can be sure to find year-round fun and adventure with restaurants, skiing, mountain biking, our famous covered bridges, and more!
