University of Virginia, VA

University of Virginia is a Charlottesville-area campus community centered on one of the country's most famous public universities. Thomas Jefferson founded the university after losing confidence in the educational model of his alma mater, the College of William & Mary, and the Academical Village remains central to its character. The locality includes student housing, university offices, activity centers, and daily campus life rather than a conventional town center. It feels academic, historic, and intensely tied to Charlottesville's rhythms.
