As classes are right around the corner, take a look at our great resource guides for both our new international undergraduate and graduate students! Our GG team has worked hard to make these guides to help you get settled into UVA from navigating classes to finding social clubs/activities in Charlottesville.

Due to bad weather and logistical issues, today’s Shopping Trip and Insider’s Tour have been canceled. We apologize for anyone who was planning on attending.
