Students taking English courses in Charlottesville will find that this city can make anyone feel at home. The student population of the University of Virginia – which attracts Southern aristocracy and hip liberals alike – makes Charlottesville a city of contrasts. Though Charlottesville was once home to American founding fathers Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, the city today is an ever-changing hub of political and social ideas. Develop and perfect your English while spending time at the Downtown Mall, the commercial and cultural center of Charlottesville that hosts museums and trendy boutiques side-by-side. The University of Virginia campus itself is worth touring, particularly its stunning Rotunda. With its colonial-style architecture, you'll get to experience another era of American education while attending your own English school in Charlottesville. After you've finished touring Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's historic estate, you can head downtown to The Glass Palette and create your own one-of-a-kind glass gift in their interactive glass art studio. Several wineries, including the Jefferson and Blenheim vineyards, also call Charlottesville their home. Experience a wine-tasting in the beautiful Virginia countryside with the Appalachians looming in the background. Join the always-changing population of Charlottesville while you improve your English language skills.
