The college application process is more competitive than ever as the number of college applicants continues to increase and acceptance rates decline at universities across the nation. Numerous applicants opt to apply during the early decision round — a binding system that provides students with earlier notification of an admission decision — due to a number of reasons, ranging from personal preference to higher than average rates of admission. A drawback of students applying early decision is that they are given their acceptance and financial package simultaneously, meaning they often forgo knowing what aid they might receive from other colleges before they ultimately have to commit to a school. This puts applicants reliant on aid — who are primarily minority students — at a disadvantage.

Chinchilla Café is not exactly a café, but they do have chinchillas — and so much more. A Google search for “Chinchilla Café, Charlottesville” will yield tour dates of bands, Reddit pages and local news articles, but none will deliver an address you can quickly plug into your GPS by itself. That’s because — unlike other popular music venues in Charlottesville — Chinchilla Café is a DIY venue run out of the living room of four activists’ shared home.

I find so much peace and solitude in turning on one of my favorite shows in the midst of a busy day. The ability to take my mind off the exams, assignments and projects that plague a typical semester is something very precious to me. The best part is that TV shows are something you can have on in the background while taking care of a different task. It is my hope that there is something for everyone on this list of comfort watches. In my opinion, comfort watches can be anything you enjoy that allows you to step back from the things on your mind — even if the content of the show itself is not necessarily comfortable.

Freshman striker Stephen Annor Gyamfi has burst onto the ACC men’s soccer scene this season as an explosive goal-scoring threat for Virginia. Gyamfi has tallied an impressive eight goals and four game-winning goals in the Cavaliers’ (7-3-3, 3-2-1 ACC) opening 13 games. He seems to be enjoying it, too.

As we trudge through midterm-season, I am sure students have had their fair share of moments in class — sometimes a little cliche — where they simply wanted to rip their hair out, me included. These are a few tried and tested classroom phrases that uniquely irk me each time I hear them. But now as an upperclassman, I’ve learned that it’s not too hard to sit through, because at the end of the day, we can all commiserate — and laugh — together. Next time you hear one of these in class, know that students across majors and disciplines are probably all feeling the same way.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. The University has dropped from third best public university in the nation to fifth, according to the U.S. News & World Report 2024 College rankings. At first glance, this news may seem disappointing, but given the ranking system’s questionable criteria — the news should solicit little more than indifference. If rankings must play a role in shaping public perception of the University, administrators should focus their attention on climbing ranking systems that do not incentivize unnecessary competition and ineffective academic practices, but rather encourage educational institutions to improve the quality of academics offered to students.

For decades, students have called for the Honor system to shift from one-size-fits-all sanctioning — which historically mandated expulsion up until a 2022 reform — toward a system that recognizes the potential of students who commit Honor offenses to take accountability for their actions without being ostracized from our community. The multi-sanction referendum passed in March provided the Honor System with a new constitution which outlines students’ due process rights and the Honor Committee’s powers under a multi-sanction system.

This summer I spent a month in London, and I learned a lot about the city, literature and theater, but, the most valuable takeaway was a newfound confidence in myself to be adaptable and have fun in new — and sometimes stressful — situations.
