Campus Life

The food is great and the dining hall is completely massive!

The food is good and is getting better every year. There are lots of options for dining besides the three main dining halls, so you're sure to find something you like. The Corner, near UVA, has lots of shops and restaurants to choose from as well.

great food plans

Sometimes not the best, but there are always steady options that are great!

The Corner has nice options. Newcomb has decent options.

First years are required to have a meal plan. After that, most people choose to go off the meal plan. Apparently the meal plan has been improving in the past couple years, though!

O'Hill used to be the best but now Newcomb has been redone so I don't which is better. They offer vegan and vegetarian food options as well which is great for me.

Bodos bagels is to die for. They have the best bagels you will ever have.

They dining hall are clean. The food is great.

The food's alright, on most days, it's actually pretty good with added salt. The other good places, like the Castle or Crossroads have great alternatives !

Greek Life is UVA's other name.

Very influencial.

Never tried it personally.

There are 33 frats and 16 sororities at UVA. They are a huge part of UVA, but not exclusive if its not your thing. Rush really depends on who you know.

Greek life is a big part of UVA but is not necessary. I was not a part of it, but I know many men and women who enjoyed the community

Approximately 30% of UVA students take part in Greek Life. Rush is a time to really meet new people, even if you choose not to pledge. UVA offers many different frats and sororities and each offers a different experience. Sororities and Fraternities want to have a good time, but each also works for a good cause.

Even though first years haven't rushed yet, Greek Life is a huge presence at UVa, mostly because of the frat parties thrown every weekend. They are fun and you'll get to know your favorite frats. Most people rush in the winter, even if they don't plan on pledging, which I think is a good idea, because you might end up finding a sorority or fraternity that you really like! I am rushing in a few weeks and looking forward to it a lot.

very prevalent very involved fun

There is definitely a presence of Greek Life on grounds, but it does not overwhelm the social life of students here. Only about 1 in 3 students is part of Greek Life, and oftentimes other clubs and organizations on ground are so close that its members feel it is in itself a fraternal organization.

Very prominent, but it's not the end of the world if you decide not to go greek. Everybody is involved in something else besides greek life here.
