There's Nothing Cavalier About Our Passion for UVA

Around Grounds

Did you know that folks at the University of Virginia don't call it "campus"? Instead, Cavalier students, faculty, and alumni refer to it as "Grounds" or "The Grounds". That's the type of thing you'll learn here. Whether you're a prospective UVA family looking for a crash course in all things Virginia Cavaliers or an alumni hoping to relive the glory days, Around Grounds is your spot for fun facts, news, and things to do. Our location on Grounds is part of our identity, so being experts is our passion.
