This further points out how UVA got started. Although slaves built and worked here, UVA was still only for the white population. One can only imagine what it was like back then. Even now, UVA only has a small percentage of blacks attending even though we are many years past this, things have not changed much.

UVA wants students to build a learning environment everywehere. When not in the classroom you can learn from others that are in your dorms. This builds more appreciation for the school and their concepts.
