Fact.

Plymouth State University is gorgeous.

Our classic, 170-acre New England campus is surrounded by the majestic landscape of the White Mountains.

We are within 25 miles of six different ski resorts and within minutes of hiking, camping, swimming, rock climbing, fishing, cycling, canoeing, or kayaking.

We provide an educational experience that you would expect from a small private school.

Small classes taught by dedicated professors. Personal attention from faculty and staff. And outstanding opportunities to lead and to serve.

Most Plymouth Students will tell you the same thing: if you're bored here, you'd better check your pulse.

With more than 100 campus clubs and organizations, a student center that never sleeps, a variety of shops and restaurants along Main Street, and an amazing array of outdoor recreational activities beckoning from every direction, the question is never what to do.

It's what to do next.
