Location
The Marlboro College campus is located among the foothills of the Green Mountains in the small town of Marlboro, Vermont. Originally adapted from two dairy farms, the 300-acre campus is the image of rural New England with its white-clapboard buildings and apple trees.
Despite the campus’ seeming remoteness, Marlboro students are not cut off from the rest of the world. The vibrant town of Brattleboro, Vermont, with a population of 12,000, is located 20 minutes from the college. Brattleboro was listed as one of the “Top Ten Art Towns” with populations less than 30,000 in the book, The 100 Best Art Towns in America, with many galleries, music venues, book shops, cafes, and restaurants to experience. Mother Earth News magazine named Brattleboro one of "Eight Great Places You’ve Never Heard Of." The Marlboro College Graduate Center provides technology-related professional training for the regional community at our modern facility in Brattleboro.
While some students choose to bring cars to campus, many others find it just as easy to take the Marlboro College van, the public Moover bus or carpool to and from Brattleboro or beyond. Marlboro is only 30 minutes from the Appalachian Trail, 20 minutes from Mount Snow ski resort, and 50 minutes from Bennington, Vermont, or Northampton, Massachusetts. The college is also 90 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut (the nearest airport), two-and-a-half hours from Boston and four hours from Montreal and New York City.
