LIFE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SCHOOL OF LAW is marked by convenience: Students benefit from nearby amenities both on and off Grounds.
Entertainment and dining choices are plentiful, and options to explore
both city life and nature are a short walk or drive away. The environment contributes to students’ ability to form bonds with each other and
helps create a community that emphasizes work-life balance.
LIFE Outside the Classroom
“CHARLOTTESVILLE HAS AN AMAZING FOOD SCENE. Everyone talks about places on The Corner or the Downtown Mall — and rightfully so — but I have a few gems in other parts town that I love to go to as well.” —JASMINE LEE ’20
“MY FRIENDS AND I try to take advantage of all the hiking around Charlottesville. I also love the plethora of music venues in town, from giant arenas to smaller club venues — I’ve probably seen a dozen shows and there are a ton more I wish I had made time for.” —JOE CHARLET ’18
“THE DRIVE TO WASHINGTON, D.C., IS ONLY BETWEEN 2.5-3 HOURS. It is very convenient for not only social purposes, but also professional.” —SHRUTHI PRABHU ’19
Most students choose to live in off-Grounds apartments or houses, many of which are within a 5-10 minute walk of the Law School. On-Grounds housing includes apartments for singles and families, and the historic Range, a graduate community for single students.
The Sidley Austin Café and Greenberry’s Coffee Bar, located within the Law School, offer breakfast, lunch and snacks every week day during the school year. In addition, students often join professors and administrators for lunch in the
Law School’s Philip M. Stone Dining Room. There are also a dozen upscale
restaurants and two grocery stores ashort walk from the Law School.
