Best college towns in America: Charlottesville, Virginia (Home of University of Virginia)

This was a close race between the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech University. Right now, UVa is inching ahead as the best campus experience. Virginia has been ranked as the most beautiful campus in America by multiple lists. It’s near the Blue Ridge Parkway and Appalachian Trail, so there is obviously ample nature in the area.

UNESCO named this a World Heritage Site back in the 80s, the only university on the list. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson designed the campus, and it’s been copied by campuses nationwide as they try to mimic his ability with the design. Like many other sequels, the sequels are never as good as the original.

During football season, the 8.000 trees on campus change colors and making it yet another reason why the campus is one of the most beautiful in the world.

The Historic Downtown Mall is an experience in itself. This pedestrian mall boasts shops, restaurants, and bars amongst its 150-plus businesses. It covers seven blocks of pedestrian-only traffic. It’s a place to spend an entire day if you can get away from the campus for that long.
