Why don't you go to a college in Vermont so you can get the education and also the VT experience together, and decide if that is the place to make your home?
Lyndon State in Lyndonville up in the Northeast Kingdom is a neat, small school in a stunningly beautiful area. Depending on your grades and how much you want to spend on college, UVM, Middlebury, and Bennington (similar to Hampshire that it has no formal letter grades, and costs an arm and a leg, hahaha) are also options, as well as the other state schools.
