THE PURSUIT OF BETTER BEGINS HERE
Prospective Students When the University of Virginia was founded in 1819, it didn’t just break the mold of higher education. It became a center for critical thought, designed not just to create a better kind of university but better leaders and a more educated society. A model founded on ideas, UVA has been maintained for more than two hundred years by generations of students, faculty, and alumni, aligned in their pursuit for the common good. In a setting of extraordinary beauty and tradition — a campus known simply as Grounds — students still gather to exchange ideas, dream boldly, and commit themselves to a better society and world.

Every UVA student is unique, representing a range of backgrounds, regions and experiences. Yet there are defining traits that each of our students share. They are barrier-breakers, transforming obstacles into opportunities. They are world-changers, willing to lead and follow. They are wave-makers, challenging convention and imagining the unimaginable. But what truly defines a UVA student is not their accolades or achievements, but rather their unswerving commitment to serve the greater good.

“At first I didn’t think that UVA was within reach, but there were a lot of different resources and people that helped me.”
— Casey Balamut, Undergraduate Student Curry ‘18 Starting day one, UVA students receive the freedom and resources to craft their own unique experiences. With access to nearly 1,000 student clubs and organizations, world-class art, theater performances, and endless volunteer opportunities in the community, the only difficult part is deciding what to choose. Plus, our tradition of student self-governance, including the oldest student-run honor system in the country, offers a wealth of opportunities for cultivating leadership and management skills that can be just as valuable as any learning experience in the classroom. And with our 25 NCAA Division I varsity sports teams, we’re not only perennial favorites in the hunt for the Atlantic Coast Conference and national championships — we’re winning them, too.
