This is a cute “ranking” but is based on a ton of data that isn’t really all that conclusive, however, I’ll take it! … “#48, University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA Campus dining: B Campus housing: B- Nightlife: B Graduate indebtedness (avg.): $19,016 Freshman retention rate: 97% Total clubs/organizations: 530 Sunny days: 59%” [From The 100 Happiest Colleges – The Daily Beast ]

University of Virginia Men’s Tennis, Men’s Lacrosse, Men’s Baseball- all #1 Ranked as of March 28! It’s quite a feat to have a #1 ranked team here locally, or even 2-3 in the same year from the same school, but right now, U.Va. is boasting three #1 ranked teams all at once! It’s a great time to take the opportunity

February 12 @ 4:00P February 13 @ 12:00P Click here for more information! —– Every month, I will post a segment called “Give Where You Live,” which will be focused on Charlottesville and the surrounding counties, reminding us of little things we can do to make our community a better place. There are tons of incredible non-profits and charities around the area, and hopefully these segments will help residents become more familiar with some of the different needs in the community and maybe even inspire some giving! I will try to post about a variety of needs and programs, from big to small, so if you know of a great local cause that is running a donation-based or volunteer campaign, please feel free to send the details my way and I will make an effort to include them in an upcoming “Give Where You Live”!
