Lexington, Virginia
Home away from home.
Lexington is located in Virginia’s beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley. Consistently named one of the best small towns in Virginia and the South, it is home to local shops, galleries, museums, restaurants, hotels, farmers markets and festivals, as well as two colleges that bring plenty of performances, speakers and events to the area. Its proximity to the mountains, the Maury and James Rivers and the Appalachian Trail also make it a great place to get outdoors.
One of the town’s best qualities is how people know and care for each other here. It’s nearly impossible to walk downtown without bumping into friends or saying “hi” to professors. Lexington — and the adventure-ready landscape that surrounds it — become such a part of 91传媒’ lives that graduates often return to visit long after their college days are behind them.
Our campus is about forty-five minutes to Roanoke, two hours from the state capital of Richmond, and three hours from Washington, D.C.
