On a brisk and early Saturday morning, Charlottesville's middle level AVID students traveled to Randolph Macon College and Virginia State University. While visiting the two schools, students were able to see firsthand two of Virginia's unique institutions. Having the opportunity to tour each campus, from the grounds to classrooms, allowed the students to truly picture themselves as future collegiate underclassmen.
