00:00:00.610 --> 00:00:06.080
The University has a lot of kind of odd lingo
and traditions that you don't really know

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.559
when you first get here, but you catch onto
really quickly.

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:10.590
A Wahoo is the nick-name for people who go
to the

00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:11.710
University of Virginia.

00:00:11.710 --> 00:00:13.920
Lawnies which are people that live on the
Lawn.

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.859
So, Grounds is what students, alumni, and
faculty refer to as the University.

00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:21.380
We never use the "C" word which is campus.

00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:26.859
The Corner, which is what all the students
call a little strip of area with all the restaurants

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:28.800
and little shops to go to.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.890
We call our students first-years, second-years,
third-years, and fourth-years, after Thomas

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:35.140
Thomas Jefferson's philosophy that learning
never

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:36.140
stops.

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:40.399
The academical village here at UVA is based
around the idea that Jefferson had for teachers

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.860
and students to live together.

00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:45.250
It's kind of a unique experience where you're
always in a learning environment.

00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:50.180
Mad Bowl is a field on the other side of the
Rotunda, so not the Lawn side, but the other

00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:51.180
side.

00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:52.920
Carr's Hill is where the president of UVA
lives.

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.530
So, the pav is a dining hall located on the
first floor of Newcomb.

00:00:56.530 --> 00:00:58.719
It has like some of the best restaurants here
around Grounds.

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.449
It has Chick-Fil-A, it has like a burrito
place, sushi.

00:01:01.449 --> 00:01:02.600
It's just a place to like study

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:03.600
and hang out.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.800
Rugby Road is a road right behind the Rotunda
and on it there's a bunch of beautiful old

00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:11.450
homes where fraternities and sororities have
their fraternity or sorority houses.

00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:15.259
It's more than just terms, it's kind of like
you're entering into a family of like people,

00:01:15.259 --> 00:01:19.520
you're assimilating into a group that has
had this history of just amazing things.
