A Rich History of Manufacturing, Military Support, and Maritime Industries
Norfolk's prime location on the Eastern Seaboard has long made it a center for military bases, defense contractors, and the maritime industries. The community is home to the Naval Station Norfolk, which is the largest naval installation in the world. In recent decades, the traditional focus on military and maritime industries in the area has been supplemented with more cultural and tourism-related jobs, as well. The recent construction of a pier intended to serve cruise ships led to a rapid increase in the number of shopping, dining, lodging, and travel-related businesses in the area.

Entertainment Options Abound in Norfolk
Long a cultural center that has celebrated Eastern seaboard cuisine and traditions, the recent increase in tourism in the Norfolk area has brought more diversity to the nightlife and entertainment options in the area, many of which will appeal to students attending colleges in Norfolk and surrounding cities. From haute cuisine to trendy nightclubs, Norfolk's downtown district abounds with options that will appeal to a wide range of students. Other entertainment options in the area include:
•   Stroll through the galleries of the Chrysler Museum of Art.
•   Check out Nauticus, the massive maritime center located at Norfolk's downtown waterfront.
•   Dance the night away at the clubs lining the Granby Street district.
•   Travel back to colonial times at nearby Williamsburg.
•   Take a day trip to Washington, D.C.

Many students attending colleges in Norfolk, Virginia love living in a coastal city that offers cultural amenities above and beyond fun in the sun, and the city's proximity to many major metropolitan areas in the mid-Atlantic region make it a convenient home base for those with family nearby.
