Did You Know?
In an attempt to more fully integrate the student body, UVA's administration stopped allowing students to choose specifically where they want to live. You now get to choose if you would prefer to live in a hall-style or suite-style building, but incoming freshmen are no longer allowed to choose the specific location of their dorm. It has thus far been a successful initiative to debunk the age old stereotypes about "old dorms" versus "new dorms."
