With the University spanning around 1,682 acres of land, walking to class is not always the easiest commute. Long routes, crowded sidewalks and vehicle traffic pose challenges for students who travel on foot. As a result, micro-mobility vehicles — which consist of low-speed, human- or electric-powered devices — have become popular alternatives to walking at the University. From traditional bikes to electric scooters and unicycles, students are traveling more efficiently on wheels, although some raise concerns over their safety on the roads.

The state of emergency was extended Friday due to ongoing gang violence.

It is not often that the concepts we learn in class apply directly to our lives, but price discrimination is a phenomenon college students — particularly out-of-state students — know all too well. Price discrimination is an economic term used to describe how an organization can charge different prices to different customers based on an individual’s willingness to pay. An easy example would be a restaurant that offers a student or senior citizen a discount. By offering a lower price to certain groups, a company increases demand in these groups and, theoretically, both the company and the individuals win.

In a strange 2023-2024 season, full of inconsistency, graduate forward Jake Groves has been one of the most important components for a streaky Cavalier offense.

For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive me and subsequently how they might judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. It’s the phenomenon in which you tend to overestimate how much other people notice aspects of your appearance or behavior. I lived under an imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and physical appearance. Only in college did I decide to turn off the spotlight I had placed overhead — and in doing so, I began to live for myself.
