[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2021 graduate and a current first year.  My sense is that the attitudes are shifting, primarily due to the new upper class housing opening fall 2024.  Used to be that the "cool" option was to move off-campus second year.  The new dorms have unique configurations (eight single bedrooms, sharing living area, two kitchens, and four bathrooms) and amenities that are attractive to students.  The rumor is that UVA wants to move to make it mandatory for second-years to live on-campus.   [/quote]

I also have a current 1st year, and would agree that they are trying to make on grounds housing more attractive. That said, the new housing went FAST, and a lot of people who wanted it didn't get it.  I also heard that some people ended up dropping out of the housing process because by the time they got their choices, there wasn't anything left that they wanted. My own son got an apartment in October with 3 friends which I thought was crazy, but he knows them from HS, so I hope it will all work out. [/quote]
