Northfield and Norwich University
Northfield is a town of about 3000 and is home to Norwich University which is the oldest private military college (the student body is comprised of civilians as well as cadets) in the United States. Norwich attracts students, staff, and faculty from around the country and around the world, which gives this small town a big sense of diversity and something of a cosmopolitan feel.

And yes, if you’ve got that adventurous spirit, you can even hike up in the winter with a sled, and sled down the trail. Yes, you heard that right.
