A Word on the Weather and Charlottesville
Charlottesville is quite hot in the summer, and the atmosphere in the SLI is casual, so we urge you to bring light clothing. A bicycle can be very useful for getting around town. We hope you find time to take an occasional short break from the intensity of your language study to explore what Charlottesville has to offer. The surrounding countryside includes some of the most beautiful landscapes in the United States, and the area is home to many historical landmarks.
