- Visited in mid-July 2022 (very hot & buggy the day we toured!)
- Stayed at an AirBnB near Carytown (would recommend if anyone wants the name in PM)
- Restaurant we enjoyed the most: Les Crepes in Carytown
- Drove; easy to find parking in every section of city we went and on campus; every place we went felt safe
- Everyone on campus was friendly and seemed happy; guides talked about friends in all sorts of majors and activities.
- Dorms seemed like typical freshman dorms; we saw upperclassmen housing at a distance but didn’t tour.
- Must-see things around campus: the spinning globe in the middle of the international center courtyard, the lake, the brand-new wellness center, gorgeous steeples, and spider designs (their mascot) everywhere.
- Overall, we loved the campus and the friendliness. Campus is not downtown (in suburbs) but there is easy access to different parts of the city. We already knew a lot about the educational opportunities, so our visit was focused on the campus vibe and learning about the area.
We also toured Washington & Lee and UVA during the same trip, using an AirBnB near Lexington for W&L and then hitting UVA on our way home (same day as morning W&L tour).
