We liked the beautiful architecture of the various buildings and the lawn area was very nice. Check out the underground library. There are some very cool maps on display as well as copies of the Constitution. We would've liked to do the guided tour, but it was Alumni weekend and very busy.

We got a private tour including the original student rooms which are still lived in (no plumbing!). Students and staff are friendly and accomodating. Visit the Rotunda if it is open.

I would definitely recommend visiting the Rotunda and walking The Lawn. We also stopped by to see Edger Allen Poe's room while he was a student there.

Decided to pay a visit to this campus as it is a World Heritage site. The UoV Site instructs you to park in a nearby Garage, but there are no clear directions how to get from there to the Rotanda- had to ask a few times. We visted on the 21st of May so there were still followups to the...

As such, this campus in a sense is a part of US history because of that connection to Jefferson and the importance the University held for him. However, beyond the architecture, the green spaces...

We took the Rotunda tour which is lead by a UVA student. The tour lasted about 40 minutes and was filled with interesting facts about Thomas Jefferson and his vision for the college. So glad we took the tour.

We went to Charlottesville mainly to tour Monticello. We did that and really enjoyed it. The next morning, we woke up and the weather was beautiful. My husband wanted to go see the campus, so I agreed. So glad I did.
We were able to easly park in a lot across the street from the historic buildings. Classes were done...

Weather was rainy all weekend, but rain held up long enough for the ceremony. Bring folding camp chairs for open seating area.
