The University of Virginia
Founded, designed and built in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States of America, and opened in 1825, the University of Virginia is an architectural, historical, and academic gem in the U.S. University system. Jefferson's original campus is widely recognized as among the most important architectural artifacts in the United States, embodying in physical form Jefferson's enlightenment notions of secular education in support of a democratic republic. Today, the University of Virginia is ranked as one of the top two public universities in the United States.
