One of the oldest higher learning institutions in the United States, Longwood University has grown into a storied and prestigious university since its founding in 1839. Today, Longwood is recognized as one of the top regional universities in the South, and boasts a nationally-ranked business program. Serving a small student population of around 5,000, Longwood cultivates an intimate, specialized academic environment while still offering over 100 majors.
Longwood’s hometown of Farmville is a small community in Central Virginia, about an hour west of Richmond. Though a fairly isolated town, Farmville is rich with history, having been the site of unique events since long before the Civil War. The Longwood campus dominates the town center, with Main Street running past the east side lined with a collective of popular restaurants, shops, and coffeehouses. The sprawling George Washington and Jefferson National Forest is very close by and Washington, DC is only about 150 miles away, making it easy to get out of town when you’re craving a change of scenery.
