UVA/Images

I was lucky enough to spend a week down at the University of Virginia last month. I was blown away by the beauty of the campus. Red brick with white borders featured on nearly every building throughout the school. When walking around the campus on a warm summer night, as the setting sun breaks through one of the many trees, you can feel Thomas Jefferson around you (he designed the university and established it in 1819.) The neo-classical architecture, statues of Greek figures as well as Washington reveal the finger prints of the 3rd president.

Additionally, UVA has three secret societies (Seven, IMP and Z) that are very active in the school. You can see their marks on buildings around the campus and in pictures below.

If you ever have the chance, I was would make sure to check out UVA as well as Monticello (about an hour west of Richmond) Enjoy the pics.
