Wow! Talk about a blend of modern amenities and historic southern architecture! This school has a beautiful location, gorgeous grounds, and friendly professors and students. Take a walk through the campus to see the mix of old and new buildings. It's a beautiful component of Lexington!
I took a walk around the campus, soaking in the fall sun lighting up the green grass, red bricks, white columns, and multi-colored changing leaves of the canopy of trees. A beautiful campus nestled in the rolling hills of Lexington. Watching students stroll to and from class provided just a hint of desire to be a student on such a great, classic campus.
Very old and beautiful campus, very historic. Walked around and saw beautiful buildings. Could not visit Lee chapel because it was closed. Walked from town to campus, very close.
Especially like the meeting room (felt more like a chapel to me)The 2 guides were very welcoming and informative. Was pleased to find Traveller's resting place. Well worth a visit
This school started in the late 1700s as an academy and over time had the involvement of two.famous Americans, George Washington and Robert E. Lee. Lovely campus with some old Georgian architecture. You.can see the house Robert E. Lee lived in while president of the.college as well as his office and where he and his family are buried. The museum in the old chapel provides an excellent history of the college. This charming town is the perfect setting for this historic college.
Worth the visit. See where Gen Lee lived when he was President of the University. See the old buildings & beautiful landscape.
The W&L campus is beautiful and boasts of much history. The student body has a code of conduct which includes greeting folks as they pass by which makes it a friendly place to visit. The Lee Chapel is a must visit to get a different look at a confederate leader. They give short tours which are definitely worth taking.
For 264 years, W&L has been steeped in traditions. From the architecture to the student body, the university positively reeks with passion for honor, learning, history, tradition, friendliness.....and it's all nestled in a lovely little town, Lexington, Va., surrounded by the Blue Ridge & Allegheny Mountains. Schedule a campus tour so you can truly appreciate this amazing university.
We visited last Spring with our son to look at the school. I had several friends who had attended and much of the original campus is so timeless it looked the same. The day before a large snow hit the area so we did not get to do as much as we wanted. Still we saw the college and it looked beautiful in the snow.
In the heart of Lexington, Va-this university is gorgeous! We were visiting the area during the Holidays so we had quite the opportunity just to mill around and not be in anyone's way. The buildings are so well maintained and there just seems to be so much pride! I am thrilled that we had a chance to look around! I would recommend that if you are near the area; have a stop in and enjoy lunch at one of the many cafe's in Lexington!
