Lexington is the county seat of Rockbridge County. It is “small town”, not rural, not suburban, not urban. There is a good town and gown relationship between W&L. VMI, and Lexington. Charlottesville and Roanoke are each about 60 minutes away albeit in different directions.
My kiddo’s high school was also larger than W&L. She liked the fact that W&L was small as there are no huge lecture-hall classes. She hasn’t mentioned the gossip so if there is any, it doesn’t bother her. That being said, when she was a prospective, we were introduced to a senior who knew with whom my daughter was overnighting even before we mentioned it.
Politics is considered to be one of W&L’s fortes. Lots of students there who work on the Hill after graduation.
It’s D3 but students do have tailgates and attend the games. Students also are very supportive of the other intercollegiate sports as well.
