Welcoming prospective students and families to campus to learn more about what Sweet Briar College could offer them if they choose to study here.
There’s no substitute for a visit to Sweet Briar.
We’ve got 2,840 stunning acres. We sweat, ride and meander on a 20-mile network of trails. We paddle, swim and skip rocks on our lakes. We harvest grapes, tend bees, and grow our own vegetables. Daily life is beautiful, and our campus is a hands-on laboratory.
You can ride here. We’ve been doing it well for 100 years. In 2021, our Vixens won a national championship. We have a 130-acre on-campus riding center and one of the nation’s largest indoor college arenas. We have riders of all skill levels, from beginners to the most accomplished. Like everything at Sweet Briar, you are so welcome to join!
We’re a caring and supportive community, your home away from home. Most students live on campus all four years and many of our dorms are on the National Register of Historic Places. Renovated to provide all the things you need, these beautiful, historic buildings make campus living memorable.
The 53,000 square-foot Fitness and Athletic Center (FAC) offers racquetball and squash courts, a spinning room and a multi-purpose event space in the Upchurch Field House. The FAC includes the Williams Gymnasium and the Prothro Natatorium, in addition to locker rooms, aerobics, free-weight and fencing rooms.
We’re so convinced you’ll love Sweet Briar as much as we do that we’re putting money on it. Be our guest at Sweet Briar. We will cover the cost for you and one parent to visit and coordinate an agenda tailored to your interests — whether you fly, drive or take a train!
