• Community Circle: Monday April 6th - 12PM to 1PM - Med Ed 303/302. The world is tough and you aren't alone. Come talk, vent, eat with your peers to start the week :) The LCOM Social Justice Coalition holds this space monthly as an opportunity for students to come together and be community members. The sessions are meant to be private, safe spaces to discuss what is challenging us as individuals, a member of the local community, and as part of the global community. We recognize that these topics can be tough to talk about but hope that as colleagues we can provide the support that we all need. We anticipate having conversations about local news stories and global news stories that have impacted our community.  For more details, contact patrick.payne@med.uvm.edu

Housing Opportunities

Graduate students are highly sought tenants in the Burlington area and property owners often advertise specifically to them with special rates (less than would be offered to undergraduate students). Don't hesitate to ask housing contacts if they would consider lowering the advertised rate to secure a graduate student; it never hurts to ask!

Catamount Run: Catamount Run is developed in partnership with UVM and is conveniently located in the heart of South Burlington. It is within walking distance of many stores and offers a comfortable and supportive living environment. Connecticut students have flexible leasing options for their 3rd year transition. 

Explore this and other housing opportunities & housing support resources at the UVM Off-campus Housing Site.

Burlington Off-campus Living Guide: Includes information to help off-campus students have successful experiences off campus. Check out the 8th edition of the UVM Off-Campus Student and Community Relations (OSCR) Off Campus Living Guide[PDF].
