[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of UVa upperclass housing is not directly walkable from central grounds.  The Faulkner complex is at North Grounds, so needs a UVa bus ride to/from central grounds.  Lambeth also is a bus ride away from central grounds, but is somewhat walkable to the A School.[/quote]

[b]I lived in Lambeth my third year a few decades ago. Not a bad walk at all if you go through the backside, through the colonnades, and then hop out on the street there. I was in the college and walked to the Lawn/Cabell all the time. I don’t know if I ever once took the bus.[/quote][/b]

Silly PP above.  Lambeth is across the street from the rotunda.  My kid was there his second year and never once had to take a bus to Lambeth.  And he walked to the Anderson library back and forth at all hours.[/quote]
[b]Lambeth is across from JPJ.

Mad Bowl is across from the Rotunda. [/b]

Still, you can take the bus to the Barrack's shopping center with Harris Teeter on one end and Kroger on the other. Lots of stores in between. [/quote]

come on, you walk from the rotunda through some athletic field and et viola There is LAMBETH!  stop being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.  Lambeth is one of the closest second year/upper class housing available on campus and it is very very nice (my SLAC had NOTHING with full kitchens like Lambeth).  DC who lived at Lambeth never once had to take a bus anywhere.  Barricks shopping center is across the street.  Anderson library in short walking distance. The rotunda similarly.  The gym, also RIGHT THERE.  stop complaining!   FAR better than anything i had in college or law school[/quote]

PP above does not seem to know UVa well at all.  There is no “Anderson library” for example.  Caveat Emptor.

Come on. We all know she meant Alderman. Her kid went there, not her. When I was at UVA, I had friends who lived at Lambeth and they walked everywhere. [/quote]

i think people are getting worked up over that post's bad sense of the campus instead of just agreeing that you can walk or take the bus places. [b]You don't need a car to get to the grocery store regardless of whether you know or don't know where Lambeth is in relation to the other buildings. [/quote][/b]

My DD lived in Lambeth sophomore year - never had a car and never needed one.  She moved to the Flats for the next two years with three friends.  didn't need a car there either[/quote]
