  3. Gordonsville

    • Town in Virginia
    • 7 reviews

    Current Resident: Gordonsville is a blink and you'll miss it type of town. Has that small town American charm. Not much if anything to do after 9 PM. If you are looking for that, I'd suggest driving about 20-25 minutes east to Charlottesville. BBW Exchange is the big food attraction here with amazing BBQ. Make sure to come for Pork a Palooza. Also while being in this area you have an incredible amount of options of Wineries, Breweries and Cideries ranging from 5 minutes to and hour away...Read 7 Reviews

    Niche User: Incredible faculty. Great school for both academics and sports. A diversity of strengths for well-rounded students that simply can’t be matched by other private schools in Northern Virginia. Students genuinely support each other, even after they become alumni. It’s not uncommon for alumni to return from prestigious universities to share how well the school prepared them for the academic challenges ahead. Also, the robotics program is literally world class!...Read 79 Reviews
