Where I Wish I Was Living
There are plenty of off-grounds housing options available; the only real problem is how early they pressure you to sign a lease and make your housing decision, they claim everything will be leased before the end of the first semester. I think our housing "fair" was in October, which is much earlier than at the schools my high school friends go to. From what we explored, there are many options in whatever price range you want.

Diversity?
Though UVa is more diverse than my 96% white, Colorado, suburban high school, it's still predominately white. And not just white, "high-brow" white. You just have to ignore them.

Do You Like Rain?
Compared to Colorado the weather is totally manageable. People from Virginia or elsewhere in the South sometimes complain about the weather on those rare occasions when it gets below 40 degrees. There was a dusting of snow on Halloween weekend (poor timing) but otherwise it'll just rain weekly.
