My name is Jessica Zimmerman, I'm a third-year double majoring in Computer Science and Commerce
I think one of my favorite things to do in life is explore
That's something that I've really been able to do here in Charlottesville
Downtown Charlottesville is so close to UVA, it is really beautiful and has a ton of
shops and a ton of restaurants
On top of the music and the food, which both are phenomenal
Charlottesville has a really unique culture. The people are really unique, they have their
own vibe and are really positive and happy. Also just 20 minutes away there's
beautiful panoramic views of the Shenandoah Valley
which is an amazing way to experience Virginia
Being around individuals that are so passionate and so interested in
making a difference, I think that's something that's really unique to UVA and I
think that the fact that I feel free and empowered to do anything that I want and
anything that I'm passionate about. That's one of the things that
makes adjusting to UVA such an exciting experience, because once you find your place
you'll never want to leave
