Virginia's Most Prestigious College?

I'm a junior from Virginia, trying to put together my college list. What would you all say is the most prestigious college in Virginia?

Virginia is home to some top-quality institutions, but the most prestigious tends to be the University of Virginia (UVA). Established by Thomas Jefferson, UVA is often ranked among the top public universities nationally and it has a diverse array of programs. It's particularly known for its programs in Business, English, History, and its Law and Medical schools.

However, it's also important to remember that prestige isn't everything. It's just as important (if not more so) to consider a college's fit — if the environment, academic opportunities, student life, and financial accessibility meet your needs.

In Virginia, other highly reputable schools include the College of William and Mary, Virginia Tech, and George Mason University, all of which offer a variety of strong programs and each have their own unique strengths and cultures. Always remember to align your interests, career goals, and personal preferences with your college choice instead of only focusing on prestige.
