College Profile: Champlain College
I love Vermont and it is a truly wonderful place to go for college or graduate school (I actually attended law school there!).

Champlain combines career-focused learning, innovative programs, and a vibrant college experience, all with a stunning Lake Champlain backdrop and tons of things to do in town.

College Profile: Kenyon College
I recently had the pleasure of taking a counselor tour of Kenyon College.
