We have lived here for almost 13 years. It is very much a overrated college town with very little to do. There is one grocery store and Walmart and nowhere to buy clothing or shoes. We literally have to drive 30 miles to Yankton a couple times a week to get what we need. The city praises Vermillion and downtown like the most magnificent place in the world but in reality there is nothing but bars and used/repurposed junk stores. There is not one family friendly restaurant in town (meaning no alcohol on the menu). Can’t even keep a dollar store open in a college town? People wander two streets here. If your associated with USD then you’ll be treated like royalty. If your not associated with USD then, well, your worth about as much and the dirt on the bottom of your shoe.
The public schools seem to do pretty well for themselves, but if you have students in town that need to ride the bus then you have to pay $50 a semester for a buss pass. Yes pay to ride the public school bus!

Vermillion is a college town, but is a great place to grow up! I’ve got to experience the benefits of being in a university town as well as a small town. I’ve experienced small town benefits like a tight-knit community, but also had the option to take advantage of some cool stuff the University offers. I’ve played football games at the dome in town, eaten at the student center, and got to meet some cool people I wouldn’t have met if it wasn’t a college town. Vermillion is a great place to live.
Vermillion, South Dakota is a beautiful little community filled with kind-hearted people. They have fantastic dining options such as OLC. There are many different grocery options with high-quality customer service. The University of South Dakota makes the little town more lively with the local community events they put on!
