Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students agree that the athletic facilities (especially the Aquatic and Fitness Center) are superb. There always seems to be some sort of renovation going on. The school is currently working on construction of several new facilities, and they’re renovating many older ones. However, despite the excellent gyms and new athletic- and fitness-oriented projects, UVA sometimes neglects other parts of the campus. Some students complain about the condition of labs and classrooms within the various colleges, and the administration has taken these complaints to heart by funding a huge South Lawn project, which is currently under construction. The project will provide hundreds of new classrooms and state-of-the-art space for students and faculty.

UVA makes sure to take care of every sort of athletic need; it is unfortunate that it does not do the same for its arts. While there is certainly a theater (two, in fact, when counting the black box), a photo lab, and a studio, the University still lacks a real arts center, though there is a new one in the works. UVA has one of the largest endowments of any public university, and the administration has taken strides over the past few years to put this money to work efficiently throughout the university. For the most part, computer labs and classrooms are very nice and well-equipped, and the constant construction around campus shows signs of progress.

Sports Medicine Center

One of the best sports medicine center around. The school is known for its advancement in the Medical field so it's no surprise that the McCue Sports Medicine center is one of the best in the State. Equipped with the latest technology and using innovative research to reduce injuries, increase rehabilitation and recovery in addition to educating in injury prevention.

The Perfect Libraries

The libraries at UVA are probably the best college libraries I have seen. Not only have they been artistically designed but they hold historical value. Most importantly, the libraries are organized to fit student needs. For instance, the Clemons library has four different floors ranging from the "group study/talking floor" to the "quiet study" floor so that students are able to choose study spots easily.

Facilities on Campus

There are four gyms, and all have basketball courts and weightlifting rooms. Only one has a pool, but all of them are great and similar to the YMCA. Libraries are big, there are plenty of quiet places to study, and we have many place on campus where you can grab a quick bite to eat.

Favorite Things To Do

UVA students have been known to work out, lie on the lawn, grab a meal with friends, walk to a bar off campus, and see a movie in Newcomb all in a span of one day!

Work out in the AFC (Aquatic Fitness Center) or any other gym (Memorial Gym, North Grounds, Slaughter Gym); take a dip in the hot tub or rest up in the sauna on the ground floor of the AFC; check out a play in Culbreth Theater or see a relatively recent movie playing in the basement of Newcomb Hall; have coffee in the library at Greenberry’s, or a smoothie with friends in the PAV; play Frisbee on the lawn; check out a concert from one of UVA's a cappella groups; attend a film screening and lecture, visit the UVA Art Museum.
