Located just across the Potomac River from DC, there's great access to the restaurants and nightlife of Georgetown, as well as Alexandria just to the south. That closeness to DC also provides access by Metro to the museums and attractions of the city: and Arlington itself has several. There's also never a shortage of off campus jobs if that's something you'll need.
The weather includes relatively mild winters and hot summers: a little snow perhaps and the ubiquitous air conditioning take care of the heat.
But perhaps the best of Arlington's advantages as a place to go to college is that there are so many choices--Northern Virginia and DC are simply packed with colleges and universities of all sorts, so the intellectual and extra-curricular life can be simply astounding. After all, that's just as important a part of the college life as the book learning, isn't it?
A Little About Arlington:
88 percent of high school graduates from Arlington schools go on to post secondary education in Virginia's geographically smallest county, located across the Potomac River from Washington DC. This is good news if you're interested in Arlington colleges or Arlington universities because they have the programs to back up the demand from a region of high academic standards and expectations. A wide range of opportunities await you at prestigious Arlington schools, where you're just a few minutes from the heartbeat of the nation.
Jobs and more
To coincide with a great education over 800 member companies and organizations of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce have jobs waiting for you. If that's not all, don't forget 18 months of special events start in May 2006 to celebrate the nation's 400th birthday. Arlington is central to the festivities. Given their hallmark programs and strong community involvement, Arlington colleges and Arlington universities are sure to play a big role. You can be there too.
