<p>Hey! I'm a Junior and I haven't gotten around to visiting UVA yet, but I will be this summer through Summer Residential Governor's School. I had a question about housing.</p>

<ul>
<li>How are the bathrooms? </li>
<li>Is there a lot of room to store your stuff</li>
<li>Are floors tight-knit?</li>
<li>Do most students stay on-campus all four year (like I want to)?</li>
<li>Is weather an issue (i.e: too hot or too cold)</li>
<li>Is there cable? </li>
<li>Do most go to McCormack? (I kind of like Alderman) </li>
<li>Pertaining to the above question, which one is better?</li>
<li>For first years, is it better to apply to a selective dorm (Brown) or stick with the norm?</li>
</ul>

<p>Yes, very early but I'm eagerr:)</p>

<p>bathrooms: there are lots of threads on this just do a search
room: none. my favorite story (which i can’t seem to find. so i will retype it) is that I love being a greeter because it’s hilarious to watch parents coming back down with all of the stuff that will NOT fit in the room. pack light. more below
-tight knit ness: depends. my first year we were all close and after that it was kind of my roommate and i vs everyone else.
-weather: definitely just do a search on this, there is a whole thread on what kind of coat to bring…
-cable: yes, ~$17/mo
-you don’t get to choose alderman vs mccormack so don’t worry about it
-brown vs others has been dealt with EXTENSIVELY just do a search :)</p>
