Welcome to Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the University of Virginia, one of the nation's first public universities. Charlottesville was rated by Money Magazine as the best place to live in the United States. Surrounded by the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains and offering moderate weather year-round, Charlottesville and the University draw visitors from around the world. But for our students, U.Va. is not just a beautiful place to visit — it's home!
