Days on the Lawn 2013

It just occurred to me that I mentioned Days on the Lawn in yesterday's post, but some of you might not know what that is!

Days on the Lawn are open houses for admitted students at UVa. At DOTL, undecided students and their parents get to tour Grounds, attend info sessions about each school, visit a resource fair, and tour the residence halls. Admitted students also get to sit in on classes and have lunch with current students while their parents are at a few sessions.

Coming to a DOTL isn't required, but it's a great way to figure out if UVa is the right place for you if you haven't gotten "that feeling" yet.


On top of that, you get to meet me and CavDog! Who am I kidding? Meeting CavDog is probably way more exciting than meeting me.
