vermont is pretty cool. theres tons of kids who live in burlington for 4 years and never experience the rest of the state (aside from the surrounding ski areas) and that is really sad. burlington has some pretty good shopping and nightlife, and lake champlain has some good beaches.
if youre gonna move to vermont, you should really take some time to get to know the state. there are some real nice towns like woodstock, vergennes, brattleboro, manchester, marlboro, and the hero islands.
vermonts economy is heavily based on tourism, so expect an ebb and flow of douche bags from mass., quebec, ct., ny., and points south.
