The housing search for the 2025-26 school year has kicked off, with many students already in the midst of signing leases for next year. After just two months of attending the University, first years are under time constraints to choose between a plethora of both on-Grounds and off-Grounds housing options, while considering factors like potential roommates, cost and availability.
Ahead of the 2024-25 academic year, Housing and Residence Life preassigned 25 percent of returning resident advisors to specific dorms, including all RAs with Student Disability Access Center accommodations, ahead of the customary RA drafting process. This decision caused confusion and frustration among some RAs and senior residents, who said they felt that HRL was not transparent about the reasoning for the change and did not give straightforward answers about why certain RAs were preassigned.
Students living in Johnson, Malone, Weedon Houses have reported internal temperatures in their rooms of over 80 degrees in the last week due to an unexpected heat wave. Students reported frustration with living conditions and the University’s response.
The University’s Housing and Residence life recently implemented a new policy which will prevent future students in their fifth year of completing a 4+1 master’s program from serving as Resident Advisors or Senior Residents in undergraduate housing.
In response to student complaints surrounding the cost of laundry, Housing and Residence Life announced a new laundry program for all undergraduates living on Grounds last Tuesday. The program — dubbed Wahoo Spins — offers students credits for 10 cycles of laundry, either wash or dry cycles, for a total of five complete loads of laundry for the semester.
Dorms bustled with students pushing carts, parents carrying twin XL bedding sets and even football players volunteering to lift heavy mini fridges as the Class of 2027 entered Grounds this fall. Close to 4,000 first-year students found new homes across 27 buildings during a hectic yet exhilarating process.
Third-year College student Morgan Hughes will serve as the sole Housing and Residence Life chair for the upcoming 2023-24 school year after her previous co-chair, third-year College student Roshan Baddeliyanage, elected to leave the position and take a room on the Lawn for his fourth year.

A series of pipes clogged with e-cigarettes left pools of standing sewage in Brown Residential College ground floor halls and bathrooms. Although all related clogs and sanitation hazards have reportedly been resolved as of Monday night, many Brown residents have said that Housing and Residence Life failed to provide adequate resources or properly communicate their progress on the fix.
This week, the student body will choose its new Student Council President, Vice President for Administration and Vice President for Organizations. The individuals elected to serve in these roles must be able to both understand and address the concerns of the student body. This Editorial Board endorses third-year College student Tichara Robertson for Student Council President, fourth-year Batten student Holly Sims for Vice President for Administration and third-year Batten student Violette Cadet for Vice President for Organizations, respectively. Running on a ticket together, Robertson, Sims and Cadet have shared what they call the “Community Coalition, a platform centered around “solidarity, accessibility and uplift.” Each of them has the institutional experience to make mental health care more accessible to marginalized students, boost access to funding for Contracted Independent Organizations and positively impact the overall perception — and engagement — that the student body has of and with Student Council. We believe these three candidates have laid out a detailed and ambitious plan to leverage Student Council’s resources for the betterment of the entire student body — we look forward to seeing them accomplish what they have set out to do.

Dear Residents,
When I tell someone I live in the Alderman Road suite-style dorms — colloquially referred to as the “motels” by students — I tend to hear, "Oh, gosh! I thought nobody lived there." The University groups these dorms into the Alderman Road Residence Area, and by affiliation with other residence halls, students refer to motels also as “new dorms.” This naming, however, contradicts reality — the motels are not new.

Imagine you are a first year again. Or, if you are one like me, take some time to reflect on these past few months. Was it what you expected it to be? Before I first arrived on Grounds, I spent a lot of time wondering about my soon-to-be college life. I imagined taking classes that sparked my curiosity, spending weekends exploring Charlottesville with friends and most of all, settling into a place that I would call home for the next four years. Finding housing for my second year never crossed my mind. While some parts of college serve as points of growth, struggling to find housing within the first few months of college is not one of them. Housing and Residence Life can do more to help first years ease into a fast-paced and stressful housing process they are not prepared for.
