There's Nothing Cavalier About Our Passion for UVA

Around Grounds

UVA has long since had a vernacular all it's own. It's not "Freshman" it's "First Year" and it's not "Campus" it's "Grounds". And whether you're a prospective UVA family looking for a crash course in all things 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 we'll help show you around.
