Upperclass Housing:
What living style are you seeking for next year?
One of the first questions to ask yourself as you consider the housing options available for upperclass students at the University of Virginia is "What am I looking for in my living experience for next year?". Are you planning on studying abroad during your years at U.Va.? A language house can help you prepare for living and learning in another language and culture. Do you want the best of both worlds - connections to the University and more independence? Check out our suite and apartment options. Does being part of a larger, close-knit community with activities and a wide group of friendships appeal to you? How about a residential college? Would you prefer to have your own bedroom or are you adaptable and enjoy sharing a room? Whatever your answers to these and other questions, U.Va. Housing has a variety of experiences and styles of housing available for you.
