Colonial Williamsburg, just 20 minutes away,
is the nation’s largest outdoor living history museum. Pre-Revolutionary
times come alive through reconstructed homes, stores, and
taverns populated by interpreters and actors.

Virginia Beach offers world-class beaches, great
water sports, and a rich nightlife—just 45 minutes from
campus.

Norfolk, the Mid-Atlantic region’s most dynamic
and progressive cultural center, is 30 minutes from CNU.

heritage, Norfolk was recently dubbed a “cultural center
of note” by The New York Times.
