Hi everyone! I'm interested in DIII schools in Virginia, and I could use some recommendations or personal experiences on which ones to consider. I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions!
Hi there! Here's a list of Division III schools in Virginia that you may consider exploring:
1. Bridgewater College

Among these colleges, some stand out for certain characteristics. For example, Washington and Lee University is highly ranked academically and has a strong liberal arts curriculum. The University of Mary Washington is known for its strong programs in the humanities and sciences, as well as its beautiful campus. Roanoke College combines a liberal arts education with experiential learning opportunities and has a vibrant campus. Shenandoah University offers unique programs like conservatory studies in music, theater, and dance.
Personal experiences can vary significantly, but many of these schools offer a close-knit community atmosphere, smaller class sizes, and ample opportunities for students to become involved in extracurriculars and athletics. I'd encourage you to research each school's academic programs, campus culture, and athletics programs to see if they align with your interests and priorities.
You may want to visit their official websites, read student reviews, or visit the campuses (if possible) to get a better feel for the schools. Remember, choosing a college is a personal decision, and what might be a great fit for one person might not be for another. Good luck in your search!
