<p>Hi guys, </p>
<p>I am a fourth year student who will be attending UVa as an exchange student from fall semester.
I am in the middle of filling a housing application and I would really like some help from students who have lived on campus. </p>
<p>I have already decided my first choice, which is Brown College, and I am trying to decide my second and third choice for the housing application. Since it'll be my first and only year at UVa, I would love to live in an environment where there is a strong sense of community with opportunities to meet many people, and hopefully get the whole "American college experience".</p>
<p>If you have lived in one of these residential colleges or apartments or know who have done so, I would like to know what kind of atmosphere each of them offer, their pros and cons and such. </p>
<p>FYI I am not thinking about IRC, because I feel like I would end up spending more time with exchange students than other UVa students. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance! </p>
