Hype for the Future 45I: Vermont State University Campuses

The State University System of Vermont consists of five campuses, but no flagship campus. While the VTSU system has only been around in the current arrangement since around 2023, the five (5) campuses each offer unique perspectives and opportunities regarding life and lifestyle choices. The locations are in five distinct regions of the State, and no two locations exist within the same county. The counties with locations of VTSU are Chittenden, Rutland, Orange, Caledonia, and Lamoille. The Williston Campus is in Chittenden County, while the Castleton Campus is in Rutland County, the Randolph Campus is in Orange County, the Lyndon Campus is in Caledonia County, and the Johnson Campus is in Lamoille County. Relative to the county seats for each county, Williston is directly east of Burlington, Castleton west of Rutland, Randolph west of Chelsea, Lyndon north of St. Johnsbury, and Johnson north of Hyde Park.
