10 things to do before graduating from uva


It’s not enough to just get a BS or a BA; students at UVa like to do (so we hear) the following things before they graduate. Keep in mind that some of these may not be quite legal. So beware!

Streak the Lawn
A fine UVa tradition. Be careful at night so that you don’t trip over random lawn chairs
Foxfield Races
Held in Fall (Family Day) and Spring. Even if you don’t like horse racing, come out for the atmosphere
Sunrise on the Lawn
Easier said than done. Perhaps the trick is to not sleep the night before?
Attend a JPJ event
Our newest entertainment venue. Voted best new major concert venue in 2006 (but how many get built in a given year?)
Ride the Trolley
Catch a ride. Loop around town
Steam Tunneling
What is that? That’s for you to find out but it involves steams and tunnels.
Eat a Gus Burger
Where to find this delicacy? At the White Spot on the UVa Corner
Lighting of the Lawn
Bringing the UVa community together
Monticello
The home of Thomas Jefferson. A great place to take out-of-town visitors.
Crozet Pizza
A classic. Check out the photographs of all the luminaries on the walls
