The University has a lot of kind of odd lingo and traditions that you don't really know
when you first get here but you catch on to really quickly.
A Wahoo is a nickname for people who go to the University of Virginia.
Corks and Curls is the University yearbook.
Lawnies which are people that live on the Lawn.
So Grounds is what students, alumni and faculty refer to as the University.
We never use the C word which is campus.
The Corner which is what all the students call a little strip of area with all the restaurants
and little shops to go to.
So we call our students first years, second years, third years and fourth years after
Thomas Jefferson''s philosophy that learning never stops.
The Academical Village here at UVA is based around the idea that Jefferson had for teachers
and students to live together.
It's a kind of unique experience where you're always in the learning environment.
Mad Bowl a field on the other side of the Rotunda, so not the Lawn side but the other
side.
Carr's Hill is where the President of UVA lives.
So the Pav is a dining hall located on ??. It has like some of the best restaurants around
here on the Grounds.
It has Chick-a-Fil.
It has like a burrito place, sushi.
It's just a place to like study and hang out.
Rugby Road is a road right behind the Rotunda and on it there's a bunch of beautiful old
homes where fraternities and sororities have their fraternity or sorority houses.
It's more than just terms.
It's kind of like you're entering a family of like people.
You're assimilating into a group that has had this like history of just amazing things.
