Student Life
Nearly 100% of students live on campus in residence halls and townhouses. There are over 40 student organizations. There are no fraternities or sororities. Other activities include the Student Association, Wilderness Program, Campus Ministry, the campus radio station WWPV, club sports, student musical and play productions, the Saint Michael’s Chorale, Vermont Gregorian Chant Schola, open mic nights and the Wind and Jazz Ensembles. Christmas and spring semi-formal dances are held.
Notable artists such as O.A.R., The Roots, Jurassic 5, Carbon Leaf, Wyclef Jean, Lupe Fiasco, and Third Eye Blind, have performed on campus in recent years. Student publications include The Echo (online magazine), The Defender (weekly newspaper), and the Onion River Review a literary magazine.
Athletics facilities include a fitness room, racquetball and an indoor track and swimming pool. Trails surround the campus for cross-country running or mountain biking.
In 2009, the school was rated by a Princeton Review survey as having the second best "town-gown" relationship in the country and ninth in the nation for the "best quality of life."

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Since it is impossible to know what’s really happening, we Peruvians lie, invent, dream and take refuge in illusion. Because of these strange circumstances, Peruvian life, a life in which so few actually do read, has become literary.”
—Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
