College is a big deal and anxiety is natural. But relax!

At Longwood, you'll find yourself among friends. Even students who said Longwood wasn't their first choice find it impossible to imagine themselves anywhere else.

Like sports? Pick your game. Odds are Longwood has an intramural league for it.

Like the outdoors? Grab your tent. Longwood's location in central Virginia boasts biking, camping, hiking, fishing and climbing within a backpack's throw (or a short drive) from campus.

How about music? Occasionally, you can leave your iPod in the dorm. Top bands, such as Yellowcard, Something Corporate and the Pat McGee Band routinely play Longwood.

No matter what your interests, politics or beliefs, you'll find a close circle of friends at Longwood that shares and challenges them all.

That's what college is all about. Good friends with a common bond to grow and improve themselves – all while having a good time.
