Campus Dining at University of Virginia

B

Varies highly depending on dining hall

O-Hill, where most first years (like my friends and I) go on a daily basis, is... repetitive. They take the same ingredients and cook them in different ways...e.g. spaghetti pasta = spaghetti, Pho, pasta salad, soup, and Asian noodles!

Runk Dining Hall has the most amazing food! Friends and I didn't start going there until halfway through the semester... now we try to go there for special occasions (and to forget about bad grades) because their pizza and wraps are really tasty. You forget it's dining hall food. They also have the best ice cream. Alas... it is all the way out by Hereford, which is actually not that far... but lucky for the Gooch/Dillard and Hereford kids.

Newcomb Dining Hall is kinda depressing inside. But at lunchtime, the other half of the dining hall opens and they make amazing bbq chips and pita sandwiches.

Also in Newcomb Hall, but underneath the Dining Hall floor, is the Pavilion. There's Chick-fil-A. :)

Clark Hall's library, which is known as Clark Library, despite certain people who insist on calling it Brown Library, has a Greenberry's, which has decent pastries and coffee. The cookies are good! Sometimes half an hour before it closes at night, all the pastries are buy one get one free - a little "secret"... :) (it helps you get through late night assignments).

Computers at University of Virginia

A

Clark Library( Brown Library) Has the Most Computers

A personal laptop is nice to have. Clark Library has a lot of computers, but sometimes they're all full, especially at night when people are studying. There are printers in all the main libraries, but expensive. The network is usually fast, but sometimes slow.

Drug Safety at University of Virginia

A

Mostly Alcohol

Alcohol is definitely available for those who want it. Easy to get at parties. Some peer pressure, but it's fine if you don't drink. I haven't seen many drugs, only the occasional marijuana-smoker outside on weekend nights. Strict on drugs, not too strict on alcohol.

Overall Experience at University of Virginia

A+

I Love It. Very Glad I Decided to Attend. Would Choose Again.

The people are friendlier than they were in high school. I love UVa. Lots of brilliant students and professors. The campus is beautiful and pleasant.

The diversity is great, despite the self-segregration between white people and Asians and other ethnic minorities, and the self-segregation among different types of Asians.

There are so many clubs - join to your heart's content!

People like to study, and the main 3 libraries are social places. They're fun. Studying is encouraged. Libraries are great places to make friends!
