On a hill overlooking the small town of Lexington, Virginia, sit two very different institutions of higher learning. Washington & Lee University, with its, red brick buildings, white columns, and liberal arts curriculum dominates one side of the hill, while the austere, military stateliness of Virginia Military Institute secures the other side. Where one campus ends, the other, quite literally, begins. A visit to both is worth your time.
