Newport News
The city of Newport News is a great place to live, study, and
play.
You can immerse yourself in history here: the city dates back
to the founding of America, and boasts numerous historic homes,
battle sites, and monuments. You can commune with the great
outdoors: the city encompasses 18 public parks; more than 30
miles of biking and hiking trails; gorgeous sunsets over the
James River; and some of the best fishing, boating, and sailing
on the East Coast.
You’ll also find plenty of entertainment and culture: the city’s
rich nightlife ranges from theater groups and the Virginia Symphony
to comedy clubs and first-run movie theaters. You’ll eat well,
too: restaurants range from Thai to Tex-Mex to American, and
there’s something for every budget.
