The 544-acre Randolph campus is located in the heart of central Vermont, with access to the mountains, lakes, resorts, and arts that Vermont is known for. Experience the area’s natural beauty from the fire tower at Allis State Park, located at the summit of Bear Hill. The Ridgeline Outdoor Cooperative’s Randolph Trails network offers 20 miles of mountain bike trails in the area, with a two-mile loop right on campus. For cross-country skiers, the VAST snowmobile trails are easily accessed from campus. In fall, our apple orchard is ready for picking, and in winter our greenhouse offers a warm spot to visit!
Some of our residential buildings are offline for renovations and capacity assessment. Activities may still take place in these spaces, but they are not available for new-student housing selection in 2025-26.
