It was not quite the kind of basketball fans in John Paul Jones Arena might have been used to seeing. Ironically, on the newly-declared Tony Bennett Day, Virginia’s win over Georgia Tech came via a fast-paced, back-and-forth shootout, not one of the plodding affairs typical of most of Bennett’s teams.

After the 2025-26 on-Grounds housing selection period came to an end Jan. 31, many students were left with less-than-ideal housing options.

Perched above The Doyle Hotel, Rooftop Charlottesville boasts unparalleled views and advertises upscale bar bites and an impressive cocktail menu. My friend and I went to try out the special menu items curated for Charlottesville Restaurant Week, opting for a three-course meal priced reasonably at $35 over their other options of $45 and $55. However, even with the beautiful views and an attractive price, we left feeling a little disappointed in our meals.
