Our students often say that they knew Washington and Lee was the right college for them upon first strolling along the historic Colonnade, down the same brick sidewalk that W&L students have walked for almost two centuries. The Colonnade represents both W&L's past and its future - in coming years, each of its buildings will undergo state of the art renovations, including Washington Hall, the oldest standing structure on our campus (completed in 1824, seventy-five years after our founding in 1749).
Other students are drawn to W&L by the scenic beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. They find in Washington and Lee a challenging and personal academic community, along with striking opportunities for outdoor recreation and study. The beautiful Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains are visible from any vantage point on our campus and frame many students' academic and recreational pursuits on and off campus.
Perhaps you will "just know" when you have stepped onto the perfect campus for you. And perhaps W&L is that perfect campus. We invite you to find out by visiting and exploring all that W&L and Lexington, Virginia have to offer.

Class of 2014 Facebook GroupThere have now been two fraudulent Facebook groups created in the name of the W&L Class of 2014. Facebook has been notified of both groups and is in the process of addressing the issue.
Our main concern is that prospective students of the class of 2014 are not left exposed to fraudulent behaviour by being members of these groups. Many fraudulent Facebook groups are created to try and slowly pry personal information from its members, or to drive members to commercial web sites for monetary gain.
Get answers to all your questions from people who actually know what they're talking about, and talk with people that are actually affiliated with the class of 2014! Join the Washington and Lee University Class of 2014 Facebook Group. You can also join the Washington and Lee University Facebook page for updates on news and features related to W&L.
