<p>Having been a student at both schools, I’d say UVA has far more to do than W&M. As a tourist, however, I might have to give the nod to W&M (and C-Dubb), as Charlottesville is just kind of a vanilla small city as far as tourism is concerned once you venture outside the unversity and Monticello. Colonial Williamsburg, as kitschy as it might be, is a nationwide tourist attraction and you are also a short hop from the tidewater region and or Richmond.</p>
<p>As for both campuses, they are both beautiful in their own ways. W&M is a more closed in, some might say claustrophobic and far smaller campus. UVA is more wide open with neoclassical stylings and a more ‘big time’ feel. It’s also a bit less rainy in Cville :)</p>
<p>Hope you enjoy your trip to the Commonwealth, whichever of our flagship schools you choose to see.</p>
