Hey my future fellow Cavaliers,

Have you guys signed up for the VMOO camping trip in August yet? I'm about to send in my registration and the $60 check. It sounds exciting. I'm eager to spend a few days hanging out on the Blue Ridge mtn with cool and active pple like you guys. It's high time to get some fresh air before indulging ourselves with formaldehyde in anat. lab.

ktran,

If I end up going to UVa, I'll be going on the trip. I'm not going to send in the check or anything until I have a better idea of my waitlist situation, but I'm definitely interested in meeting some people before classes start. It's a lot easier to break the ice when you're out camping rather than at orientation listening to speakers. Anyone else planning on going?

Good to hear from ya. Good luck with your Yale acceptance and have fun planning the wedding! 😛

Hi to all my classmates in the UVa class of 2007. I'm definitely going to UVa in the fall, but i'm not sure if i'll be going on the camp out. I'd love the chance to meet everyone ahead of time camping, but I'll be spending the entire month of July camping as part of a mapping/mission project in Zambia, so I'm not sure if I'll be there for the camping trip, but I'm definitely considering it and looking forward to meeting everyone in August!

Has everyone already found housing? I've been looking into it, but I was planning on going down to Cville to check it out in mid June... Do you think that's too late? I don't graduate until May 31, and I won't be around the first week of June, so I'm hoping I'll still be able to find something... I may still be able to fit in a trip to check things out before graduation if necessary. How's everbody else doing with housing so far? I'd appreciate any advice anyone has.

I went on VMOO 2 years ago, it was a great time. Not hard core, but definitely fun. It really is nice to get to know people before everything starts, we still identify with that trip.

btw, udbluehen, i pm'd you.

udbluehen,

I went to Cville checking out apartment last week and was not impressed. Locations close to UVA Hospital is alot more expensive than I thought and ones I happened to see are kinda shabby. You can call other people from the ad list the office sent out to see if you can hook up with somebody else and split the rent. I will be married when school starts so I can't really share like that but I really like the idea. If you want to live by yourself you should come and scout it out early becuase there weren't many good spots left when I was there.
You can PM or email me at [email protected] and we can talk more.

ktran.🙂

Rent just went up a lot this year. I'm pretty sure it has to do with all the money companies lost during the drought when water prices sky-rocketed. But anyway, the really nice places close to the hospital tend to be rented by Jan. Keep looking though. I lived ~5 miles away my first year and it was much more of an inconvenience than I thought it would be.
