Looking for an iconic U.S. university with excellent learning and research opportunities, all in a great place to live? Charlottesville is a small city with a big, vibrant cultural, social and intellectual scene. There’s always something enriching to do, whether you’re into music, art and theater; artisan foods; wineries and breweries; or family-friendly festivals. We’re also steeped in American history. Just a 2.5-hour drive from Washington, D.C., we’re surrounded by natural beauty, with a national park and national forests and the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop. You can make your own adventures!
