Best UVA Dorms

"No AC, cockroaches, but culture is nice. I lived in the basement so it was a little cooler temperature-wise."

"really good location-- close to o-hill and grounds. the rooms are nice with big windows and nice view"

"Shannon is known as hotel Shannon by some. It is a dorm that is basically right across from the Fitness and Aquatic Center and in close proximity to the Ohill dining hall. This dorm is also one of the closest to both the bus stops. Also, if you’re a engineering student the walk isn’t too bad to the engineering buildings but the McCormick road dormitories are slightly closer. This dorm has a common room and shared bathrooms on every floor. The laundry room, water fountain, and study rooms are located on the first floor. "

"Bond House is the newest dorm on grounds and is by far the nicest. The location is great, as it is relatively central and is close to the medical area, lawn, and e way. No cons except for the slightly smaller than ideal room but overall a great dorm."

"windows were really big with a lot of natural light and the flooring is also really nice. the location was also really nice-- really close to grounds"
