State

(4-year), Clinton Community College and North Country Community College (both 2-year), and Paul Smiths, a private college.

Shopping, cultural and recreational activities abound in the area: Burlington, VT is only a short ferry ride across Lake Champlain, and Montreal, Canada - a metropolis of 4 million inhabitants - is just over an hour from Plattsburgh.

In fact, many consider Plattsburgh to be Montreal’s US suburb.
