Longwood University

Founded in 1839, Longwood is a proud, historic Virginia public university. We are a place rich with tradition, where a beautiful campus and committed faculty inspire students to become citizen leaders and establish valuable and meaningful connections. In the classroom or on Brock Commons, Longwood students live and learn in one of the most beautiful places in Virginia. - Distinctive Education With the highest proportion of small classes taught by full-time professors of any Virginia public university, Longwood's strength is in its unique faculty-student connections and a democracy-focused Civitae Core Curriculum you won't find anywhere else. - Vibrant, Close-knit Community The hallmark of life as a Lancer is its energy. With most students living on campus, ancient traditions like CHI Walks combine with D-I athletics and nearly 200 student-run clubs and organizations to make campus come alive and form great friendships for life. - Great American College Town Farmville — America's oldest two-college town — is an hour's drive from Richmond and is energized by coffee shops, restaurants and shopping. Abundant recreational opportunities, including the 32-mile High Bridge Trail, are just steps from campus.
