Student life at the University of Virginia is marked by a number of unique traditions. The campus of the university is referred to as the "Grounds". Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are instead called first-, second-, third-, and fourth-years to reflect Jefferson's belief that learning is a lifelong process, rather than one to be completed within four years.

[[File:William Faulkner 1954 (2) (photo by Carl van Vechten).jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.8|[[William Faulkner]] once lived among the students of UVA after winning the [[Nobel Prize for Literature]], and bequeathed most of his papers to Shannon Library.]]

===Student-faculty interaction and connections===
Professors are traditionally addressed as "Mr." or "Ms." at UVA instead of "Doctor" (although medical doctors are the one exception) in deference to Jefferson's desire to have an equality of ideas, discriminated by merit and unburdened by title. UVA facilitates close interactions between students and professors in a number of ways.

First-year students in the College of Arts & Sciences have the opportunity to take two University Seminars, one per semester, which are later made available to other years students as well. These small classes, typically numbering from 4 to 19 students each, provide opportunities to work closely with professors at the university from the outset of a student's academic career. The small groupings also help facilitate more frequent and intense discussions between students in this closer environment.

Select faculty live at [[Brown College at Monroe Hill]], [[Hereford College]], [[International Residential College]], and in Pavilions on [[the Lawn]]. This living arrangement gives more opportunities for professors to invite students to lunches and dinners, which regularly happens, and creates chances for impromptu meetings and interactions between faculty and students around Grounds.

Reflecting this close student-faculty interaction at UVA, it welcomed Nobel Laureate [[William Faulkner]] to a position as "Writer-in-Residence" in 1957.<ref name=Blotner>Joseph Blotner and Frederick L. Gwynn, (eds.) (1959) ''Faulkner in the University: Conferences at the University of Virginia, 1957–1958''.</ref> He had no teaching responsibilities, and was paid merely to live among the students and write. He was badly injured in a horse riding accident in 1959, and did not return to the state before his death in 1962.<ref name=Blotner /> Faulkner then bequeathed the majority of his papers to Shannon Library, giving UVA the largest Faulkner archives in the world.<ref>[http://uvamagazine.org/articles/faulkner_revisited Faulkner, Revisited] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170616201223/http://uvamagazine.org/articles/faulkner_revisited |date=June 16, 2017 }}, accessed June 6, 2017</ref>

===Global citizenship initiatives===
The International Residential College is a [[residential college]] at UVA that attracts and celebrates students from across the globe who choose to attend the university. It is one of the three major residential colleges at UVA. Students there come from 45 countries, representing 40% of the student population; but U.S. students are encouraged to live at the IRC as well to learn about the countries from which their classmates have journeyed to attend UVA.

UVA was previously the academic sponsor for [[Semester at Sea]], a multi-country study abroad program conducted on a cruise ship.

The University of Virginia received the 2015 Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization, by the Association of International Educators.<ref name="Simon">[http://as.virginia.edu/news/why-globalize-education-president-sullivan-says-benefits-are-far-reaching President Sullivan Says Benefits of UVA's Globalization Are Far Reaching] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302032919/http://as.virginia.edu/news/why-globalize-education-president-sullivan-says-benefits-are-far-reaching |date=March 2, 2016 }}, accessed February 19, 2016</ref> This award confirms the university's success and commitment in educating its students on a global scale as well as nationally.<ref name="Simon" />

===Student leadership opportunities===
There are a number of UVA undergraduate leadership opportunities that are offered in addition to the standard student government or fraternity and sorority positions found at many other universities. They include UVA's [[#Secret societies|secret societies and debating societies]], the [[#Honor system|student-run honor committees]], and the chance to be recognized as a fourth-year student at the pinnacle of student leadership by being asked to live on [[the Lawn]].

The [[Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy]], established in 2007, expands on these unique student leadership opportunities to study Leadership itself as a cross-disciplinary subject of focus and is closely aligned with many of the university's schools, including the [[University of Virginia School of Architecture|Architecture]], [[Curry School of Education|Education]], [[University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science|Engineering]], [[University of Virginia School of Law|Law]], [[University of Virginia School of Medicine|Medical]], and [[Darden Graduate School of Business Administration|Darden]] schools, as well as with programs in politics, economics, and applied ethics.

The University of Virginia has a long history of student activists who formed radical environmental, religious, and political groups to champion various social changes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=uva-sc%2Fviu03897.xml%3Bquery%3D|title=A Guide to the Social Movements Collection, ca. 1959–1989, 2000, and n.d.

===Secret societies===
{{Main|Secret Societies at the University of Virginia}}

[[File:IMPsecretsociety.jpg|thumb|right|The mark of [[IMP Society|one]] out of [[Secret societies at the University of Virginia|many]] secret societies active on Grounds at the university]]

Student societies have existed on Grounds since the early twentieth century. Secret societies have been a part of University of Virginia student life since the first class of students in 1825. While the number of societies peaked during the 75-year period between 1875 and 1950, there are still six societies active that are over 100 years old, and several newer secret societies.

===Honor system===
{{Main|Honor system at the University of Virginia}}

{{quote box  |width = 20em

 |quote = On my honor, I have neither given nor received aid on this assignment.}}

The nation's first codified honor system was instituted by UVA law professor [[Henry St. George Tucker, Sr.]] in 1842, after a fellow professor was shot to death on [[the Lawn]]. There are three tenets to the system: students simply must not [[lie]], [[cheating|cheat]], or [[theft|steal]]. For its first 180 years it was a "single sanction system", meaning that committing any of these three offenses would result in immediate expulsion from the university. In the spring of 2022, following decades of criticism and waning support, a proposal to replace the penalty of expulsion with a two-semester suspension passed a student referendum with over 80% of the vote and took effect immediately.

The honor system is intended to be student-run and student-administered.<ref>{{cite web | title = The Honor Committee | publisher = University of Virginia | url = http://www.virginia.edu/honor/ | date = December 11, 2006 | access-date = January 9, 2007 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061013105720/http://www.virginia.edu/honor/ | archive-date = October 13, 2006 | df = mdy-all }}</ref> If accused, students are tried before their peers—fellow students, never faculty, serve as counsel and jury. Although Honor Committee resources have been strained by mass cheating scandals such as a case in 2001 of 122 suspected cheaters over several years in a single large Physics survey course, and federal lawsuits have challenged the system, its verdicts are rarely overturned.<ref>{{cite news |author=Greta von Susteren |title=University of Virginia Tackles Cheating Head On |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0105/10/bp.00.html |work=[[CNN]] |date=May 10, 2001 |access-date=November 13, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141127181118/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0105/10/bp.00.html |archive-date=November 27, 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Meg Scheu|title=Judge Denies Call to Dismiss Lawsuit|url=http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/1999/07/judge-denies-call-to-dismiss-lawsuit|work=[[Cavalier Daily]]|date=June 22, 1999|access-date=November 13, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505025911/http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/1999/07/judge-denies-call-to-dismiss-lawsuit|archive-date=May 5, 2015}}</ref><ref>In 1983 the Fourth Circuit rejected a challenge brought by an expelled law student, the [http://openjurist.org/719/f2d/69/henson-v-honor-committee-of-u-va-u Henson case] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125020150/http://openjurist.org/719/f2d/69/henson-v-honor-committee-of-u-va-u |date=November 25, 2014 }}, concluding U VA's student-run honor system afforded sufficient due process to pass constitutional scrutiny.</ref> There is only one documented case of direct UVA administration interference in an honor system proceeding: the trial and subsequent retrial of student Christopher Leggett.<ref>{{cite news |author=Robert O' Harrow Jr. |title=Honor Case Causes Uproar at U-Va.; Some Angry Over Official Intervention, Student Panel's Unusual Reversal of Decision |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-905552.html |newspaper=[[Washington Post]] |date=August 8, 1994 |access-date=November 13, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150329042444/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-905552.html |archive-date=March 29, 2015 }}</ref>

===Student activities===
Many events take place at the University of Virginia, [[Events Held on The Lawn at UVA|on the Lawn]] and across Grounds. One of the largest events at UVA is Springfest, hosted by the University Programs Council. It takes place every year in the spring, and features a large free concert, various inflatables, games. Another popular event and tradition is Lighting of the Lawn in the winter. Established in 2001 as a tribute to the September 11 Attacks, Lighting of the Lawn consists of a light and music show on the Lawn. Another popular event is [[Foxfield Races|Foxfield]], a [[Steeplechase (horse racing)|steeplechase]] and social gathering that takes place nearby in [[Albemarle County]] in April, and which is annually attended by thousands of students from the University of Virginia, neighboring colleges, and local residents.<ref name="foxfield">{{cite news |url=http://www.dailyprogress.com/cdp/news/local/article/24000_plus_descend_on_foxfield_for_annual_steeplechase_social_gathering/20967/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080915145603/http://www.dailyprogress.com/cdp/news/local/article/24000_plus_descend_on_foxfield_for_annual_steeplechase_social_gathering/20967/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 15, 2008 |work=Daily Progress |location=Charlottesville |date=April 27, 2008 |last=Borden |first=Jeremy |title=24,000-plus descend on Foxfield for annual steeplechase, social gathering }}</ref>

[[File:University of Virginia Amphitheater.jpg|right|upright=1.25|thumb|The University Amphitheater is often used for outdoor lectures and student gatherings.]]

The student life building is called Newcomb Hall. It is home to the Student Activities Center (SAC) and the Media Activities Center (MAC), where student groups can get leadership consulting and use computing and copying resources. It also features several meeting rooms for student groups. Student Council, the student self-governing body, holds meetings Tuesdays at 6:30&nbsp;p.m. in the Newcomb South Meeting Room. Student Council, or "StudCo", also holds office hours and regular committee meetings in the newly renovated Newcomb Programs and Council (PAC) Room. The PAC also houses the University Programs Council and Class Councils. Newcomb basement is home to both the office of the independent student newspaper ''The Declaration'', ''[[The Cavalier Daily]]'', and the Consortium of University Publications.

In 2005, the university was named "Hottest for Fitness" by ''[[Newsweek]]'' magazine,<ref>{{cite magazine | title = America's 25 Hot Schools | magazine = [[Newsweek]] | date = August 2004 | url = http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5626574/site/newsweek/ | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070903110639/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5626574/site/newsweek/ | archive-date = September 3, 2007 | df = mdy-all }}</ref> due in part to 94% of its students using one of the four indoor athletics facilities. Particularly popular is the Aquatics and Fitness Center, across the street from the Alderman Dorms.

Volunteerism at the university is centered around Madison House which offers numerous opportunities to serve others. Among the numerous programs offered are tutoring, housing improvement, an organization called Hoos Against Hunger, which gives leftover food from restaurants to the homeless of Charlottesville rather than allowing it to be discarded, among numerous other volunteer programs. Many students also choose to volunteer as emergency responders, the most common stations being Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad (CARS) in the city of Charlottesville and Seminole Trail Volunteer Fire Department (STVFD) in Albemarle County.<ref name="HoosGiveBack">{{cite web| url = https://news.virginia.edu/content/local-emergency-services-attract-students-who-want-give-back| title = Local Emergency Students Attract Students Who Want to Give Back| date = August 31, 2021| access-date = January 28, 2024| archive-date = January 28, 2024| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240128171539/https://news.virginia.edu/content/local-emergency-services-attract-students-who-want-give-back| url-status = live}}</ref>

As at many universities, alcohol use is a part of the social life of many undergraduate students. In 2005, concerns particularly arose about fourth-years consuming excessive alcohol during the day of the last home football game.<ref name="4thYear5th">{{cite web| url = http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2005/12/01/coverHighSpiritsWahoosTack.html| title = High spirits: Wahoos tackle fourth-year fifth| access-date = December 11, 2006| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060627121634/http://readthehook.com/stories/2005/12/01/coverHighSpiritsWahoosTack.html| archive-date = June 27, 2006| df = mdy-all}}</ref> President Casteen then announced a $2.5&nbsp;million donation from [[Anheuser-Busch]] to fund a new UVA-based Social Norms Institute in September 2006.<ref name="SocialNorms">{{cite web| url = http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2006/09/28/NEWS-socialnorms-A.doc.aspx| title = Busch league: UVA gets big bucks to ban binging| access-date = December 11, 2006| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930202123/http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2006/09/28/NEWS-socialnorms-A.doc.aspx| archive-date = September 30, 2007| df = mdy-all}}</ref> A spokesman said: "the goal is to get students to emulate the positive behavior of the vast majority of students".

===Fraternities and sororities===
{{Main|Fraternities and sororities at University of Virginia}}

The University of Virginia has a number of [[fraternities and sororities]] on campus, encompassing the traditional social fraternities and sororities as well as coeducational [[Professional fraternities and sororities|professional]], [[Service fraternities and sororities|service]], and [[Honor societies#List of scholastic examples|honor fraternities]].

Through the twentieth century, the roles of these organizations on campus expanded to encompass social sororities, professional fraternities and sororities, service fraternities, honor societies, black fraternities and sororities, and multicultural fraternities and sororities. Roughly 30% of the student body are members of social fraternities and sororities, while additional students are involved with service, professional, and honor fraternities.<ref name="fsl brochure">{{cite web |title=Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Virginia, 2014–2015 |url = http://www.virginia.edu/fsl/wp-content/uploads/FINAL-2014-2015-FSL-Brochure.pdf |publisher=University of Virginia Office of the Dean of Students |access-date=April 30, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150623003150/http://www.virginia.edu/fsl/wp-content/uploads/FINAL-2014-2015-FSL-Brochure.pdf |archive-date=June 23, 2015 }}</ref> [[Fraternities and sororities in North America#Joining|"Rush and pledging"]] occur in the spring semester for most Greek organizations.

A set of bus lines operated by the university's University Transit Service connect different parts of the UVA Grounds with adjacent parking facilities. This is complemented by a set of bus lines operated by [[Charlottesville Area Transit]] that connect the University of Virginia with other parts of Charlottesville. The [[Virginia Department of Transportation]] maintains the roads through the university grounds as [[State Route 302 (Virginia)|State Route 302]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/route-index-07012003.pdf |title=Virginia Route Index |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701135847/http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/route-index-07012003.pdf |archive-date=July 1, 2015 }}&nbsp;{{small|(239&nbsp;KB)}}, revised July 1, 2003</ref>

[[Charlottesville Union Station]] is just {{convert|0.6|miles|km}} from UVA, and from there [[Amtrak]] passenger trains serve Charlottesville on three routes: the [[Cardinal (train)|''Cardinal'']] (Chicago to New York City), [[Crescent (Amtrak)|''Crescent'']] ([[New Orleans]] to New York City), and ''[[Northeast Regional]]'' ([[Roanoke, Virginia|Roanoke]] to [[Boston]]). The long-haul ''Cardinal'' operates three times a week, while the ''Crescent'' and ''Northeast Regional'' both run daily.
