Virginia State University is a public, historically black college located in Petersburg, Virginia. The university is the first fully supported, four year institution for African Americans in the United States and is one of two land-grant colleges in the State of Virginia.

The university was founded on March 6, 1882 as the Virginia Normal and College Institute after the state legislature passed a bill sponsored by Delegate Alfred W. Harris, a black attorney, which chartered the university. The state established the university to serve the needs of a population that was at the time excluded from other public institutions in Virginia. Virginia Normal and College Institute opened as a teacher training college for both male and female black students but it also included a modest liberal arts curriculum. @ Virginia State University

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. Staff was wonderful, the hotel is beautiful. Your Restaurant wasn't open for Breakfast but we got a great breakfast across the street, so no worries there. The area is very visitor-friendly in general. We were very close to the concert venue ( Allianz Amph) where we saw Neil Young last night. "
