How to make the most of your time in Vermont.
We want to give you the tools and support – and space – you need to really make the most of your time at college. In addition to our stunningly beautiful landscape, we will also nourish you with homegrown food and ample opportunities to explore and care for your body, mind and spirit.
Let’s start with The Sterling Kitchen!
Our kitchen and campus food system has been ranked #1 in the nation for 2 years running by the Real Food Challenge. This is no small feat and you will love the food you eat here and the atmosphere in which you eat it. Dunbar Hall is where students, staff, faculty and extended family and neighbors come to eat together.

There is a snack table that is always populated with some fruit and fresh baked bread as well as an incredible selection of tea and coffee that’s always hot! It’s also not uncommon for students to do a “Student Takeover” of the kitchen and whip up something special for everybody once a month or so. Though you won’t find any vending machines or sweets abounding, the food here will ensure that you are fueled to excel in your academics, your work and your adventures.

Health & Wellness
The Wellness Team ensures a safe, welcoming, and vibrant community by providing services that assist students in identifying, clarifying, and achieving their personal, wellness, and educational goals.
In addition to direct assistance to students, the Wellness Team develops programs that improve the quality of life and learning in our community. Wellness programming promotes and sustains diversity of culture, history, and lifestyle, fosters respect for the campus environment and ecological systems, and facilitates a productive and transformative exchange of ideas.
The Wellness Team offers support to students around issues of stress, transition, general mental health, and crisis response. Acute mental health issues are referred to a licensed psychologist or emergency services, if necessary.
If a doctor’s examination is required, the Wellness Center staff will assist with appointments and transportation. Excellent facilities are available in Hardwick, 10 miles from campus, and at Copley Hospital in Morrisville, 20 miles away.
Students with chronic or long-term illness are encouraged to maintain the care of their home practitioner or to establish themselves with a doctor in the community.
Athletics at Sterling
At Sterling College, athletics are about connecting students with the world–as an individual, a team, and as part of a supportive community. You can learn more about our Coaches, Teams and events by visiting our Athletics Page.
The Craftsbury Outdoor Center is just a hop, skip or ski down the road and is an incredible resource for all Sterling students whether you want to participate on an athletics team or not. Learn more about the COC, check out the perks you’ll receive as a Sterling student and view their calendar of events.
