Name: University of Vermont and State Agricultural College
Location: Burlington, Vermont
Wait, what’s with UVM if they’re in Burlington? Shouldn’t it be UVB? Or UVT if they’re using the postal abbreviation? Fantastic question, based in logic as all things should be. It actually doesn’t have anything to do with the official name of the school. The Latin for University of the Green Mountains is Universitas Viridis Montis, or UVM. The Green Mountains, which are part of the Appalachian Mountains, run through Vermont from Massachusetts to Canada.
Okay, so where’s Burlington?
