[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the tourist center would be a problem for my DC but it hasn’t. There are walkable places for food but many students have cars. The James river is nearby and has sailing and some beaches. It’s not a college town like Ann Arbor. 
But some students surprisingly go there for an affordable education. Not a 4 year party. Strange I know. [/quote]

Honestly, no college town in Virginia is anything like Ann Arbor.  There isn't anything close to that in Charlottesville or Blacksburg.  There is really very little at the Corner in Charlottesville and downtown is a couple of miles away.  Downtown isn't a real college area.  29 North is dangerously close to strip mall territory.  But although I enjoyed Ann Arbor on my visits, it would not be my ideal place to go to school.  The school is huge and requires bus rides, there are some dodgy areas, students are pushed away from campus for housing, weather can be harsh.  Austin has a lot of the same issues.

There is a tremendous amount there, but students can get pushed to areas that aren't so nice.  Berkeley is similar, but isn't nearly as nice as Austin or Ann Arbor.  Sure, there are things in San Francisco, etc., but is distant and expensive.  [/quote]
