I remember stepping on to Grounds
for the first time.

0:00:04.504,0:00:07.507
I immediately fell in love,
and I was like, "This place is stunning."

0:00:07.632,0:00:10.093
You look at the architecture,
you look at the spaces.

0:00:10.301,0:00:13.304
I understand what people mean by, “This is UVA.”

0:00:16.016,0:00:19.185
UVA is accomplished, passionate students.

0:00:19.269,0:00:22.147
Behind that work ethic is curiosity.

0:00:22.897,0:00:28.028
You get to meet so many people, who have such different views in life
and you could learn from.

0:00:29.154,0:00:32.741
it's a family of people that want
to come together and want to be better.

0:00:33.700,0:00:36.578
UVA's really a student-led place.

0:00:36.953,0:00:40.540
We have the opportunity to leave this school
better than we found it.

0:00:43.126,0:00:44.961
When you're in the stands at a UVA game,

0:00:44.961,0:00:47.130
everybody that you see, smiles
are beaming.

0:00:47.464,0:00:49.507
It’s electric.

0:00:49.674,0:00:52.886
If you're not coming to a game to lose your voice, why are you there?

0:00:55.430,0:00:57.557
UVA means community, where everybody

0:00:57.557,0:01:00.351
can come together and celebrate just
being a Hoo.

0:01:00.810,0:01:04.355
It's its own bond, it's its own community,
it's its own way of thinking.

0:01:07.025,0:01:09.486
Everything I came to college hoping to do,

0:01:09.486,0:01:11.237
I accomplished at UVA.

0:01:13.907,0:01:16.201
I know I will carry UVA with me.

0:01:16.201,0:01:17.952
It will have a special place in my heart.

0:01:21.498,0:01:26.211
Students at UVA view
the University as an opportunity

0:01:26.211,0:01:29.255
to take an already powerful
and meaningful institution

0:01:29.255,0:01:31.174
and help
make it into something that's even better.
