Southern Virginia University Top Questions

It is a small liberal arts college somewhat in the middle of nowhere. It is a beautiful campus in a beautiful location with a history. Every day you learn something new.

Small size. The other schools I could have attended are much larger with, consequentially, much less individual a feel to them.
