Student Life
At UVM, we're balanced in mind, body and spirit because UVM students seek out opportunities for work, service and play. View 150+ student clubs and organizations and an abundance of sports from varsity to intramurals in our sports and clubs-at-a-glance (PDF).
The Dudley H. Davis Student Center hums with student activity on campus; be sure to check it out!
What's happening? Events on- and off-campus
- Check the UVM all-campus Calendar of Events: We couldn't possibly name it all. World-famous speakers, visiting art exhibits, chili cook-offs, dance performances, athletic events; read all about it.
- Bored? More stuff to do on- and off-campus: This special calendar for student events doesn't stop at campus. Learn about casino nights, urban funk dance parties, and great music around town, just to name a few.
- UVM Athletics/Catamounts schedule: Women's soccer at Brown, men's hockey at BC; this schedule is all athletics, all the time.
Five random things to do when you're NOT in class
1) Get out. The UVM Outing Club rents (note: cheap!) equipment that will inspire you to see more of Vermont. Snowshoes, skis (telemark anyone?), canoes, camping equipment and more. When in doubt: attend an organized outing.
2) Salsa dance, write for the paper, work with the HIV/AIDS taskforce. These are just some of the hundreds of opportunities through the Department of Student Life and its Student Government Association.
3) Stroll through the Fleming Museum. More than 20,000 objects including art and anthropological finds, permanent galleries and changing exhibitions.
4) Eat sushi on the green roof of the Davis Center. Catch some comedy in the pub, do your banking, drink coffee by the fireplace. UVM's new environmentally sound student center is the campus living room.
5) Visit the UVM Morgan Horse Farm. The UVM "government" line of Morgan Horse is considered one of the best in the world. Take a tour!
A bike friendly place
In 2011, the League of American Bicyclists selected the University of Vermont as one of the nation's most "Bicycle Friendly Universities" — one of 26 schools in 20 states.
A green mindset
UVM is one of the first universities to end the sale of bottled water.
