Where We Are
Driving directions and Lyndonville-area hotels, motels, and other accommodations
With year-round mountain views on both NVU campuses, you can see every day why Vermont is called the Green Mountain State. NVU is in the heart of the beautiful, inspiring mountains. No smog. No traffic congestion. You can see stars at night and hear yourself think.
But as a student at NVU-Lyndon, you’ll be close to big-city life, with Boston, Montreal, New York, and other cultural and sports centers less than a day’s drive away. Within Vermont, the state’s largest city and college town, Burlington, and the capital, Montpelier, aren’t far. And we’re a short distance from some of the region’s premier recreational hubs: Burke Mountain, Lake Willoughby, Jay Peak, Franconia Notch, and Kingdom Trails.
