I agree with the PP. Before I had ever been to Lynchburg, I had a view of what I thought it was. Come to find out it is actually wonderful.

Several universities nearby and lots of things to do through that (sports, theater, etc.). But also, you have the river and lots of trails and parks for hiking, SUPing, running, kayaks, etc. And lots of people take advantage of that so there is a thriving outdoor community there.

The downtown area has also gone through a sort of revitalization with lots of the old mills and factory buildings redone into very cute (and expensive) lofts, condos, townhomes. There are lots of restaurants, bars, ice cream places, summer activities. There's an art scene. It's actually really great. And if you're thinking you'll get in and out cheaply, it's not that cheap to stay and play there (relative to here, sure).

Having said that, there is A TON for college kids to do there. A ton. But if you're only college goal is to puke your way through a Hokie or Cavs game, then I guess maybe the "shocked eyes" emoji is appropriate for you. [/quote]
