Days on The Lawn

Admitted student open houses at UVa are called Days on The Lawn. At DOTL, you can take tours (including tours of the residence halls), visit the various schools and colleges at UVa, sit in on classes, meet current students, and get to know some of your future classmates.
This year, Days on The Lawn will be held on the following dates:

Monday, April 7
Friday, April 11
Friday, April 18
Monday, April 21

The day will start at The Rotunda (or Newcomb Hall Ballroom if it's raining). There, you'll pick classes to visit and have a chance to chat with current students. You can do as much or as little of the schedule as you'd like. Some people make it every session and others wander Grounds on their own.

Admitted students will receive the brochure below with their offer letters. The brochure will include the entire schedule and have information about RSVPing for the day that works best for you.
