The '''University of Virginia''', founded by [[A Hike|Thomas Jefferson]] himself in [[Charlottesville]], [[Virginia]], has been declared a [[Wikipedia:World Heritage Site|World Heritage Site]] and is a famous example of [[Wikipedia:Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical architecture]], in addition to being consistently regarded as one of the best universities in the [[United States of America]].

Despite the University's prestige and status as one of the most respected universities in the West, this cannot save it from the unfortunate fame of being one of [[Chris]]'s prime [[attraction locations]] for his [[Love Quest]].

As early as 2005, Chris spent time in the Alderman Library and the café playing his [[Nintendo|DS]] in hopes of attracting a [[boyfriend-free girl]] to be his [[sweetheart]]. According to local [[Wikipedia:Something Awful|Something Awful]] goon vikivil, Chris would also leave some [[business card]]s behind in the library with the address to his [[CWC's Sonichu Site!|Sonichu site]] printed on them. It can be reasonably assumed that these cards might have been one of the early seeds to his later Internet infamy.

Chris alluded to "the campus" in his [[Captain's Log, Stardate May 22nd, 2009|22 May 2009]] video, suggesting that he may still have been considering UVA as an attraction location at this time.

Despite the fact that Chris has never set foot on the campus for any other reason than his Love Quest, Chris has taken part in several events held at the university, even making a television appearance while participating in one of them.

==Sonichu on UVA==
In ''[[Sonichu's News Dash]]'' #5, "[[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]" ([[Chris and reality|read: Chris]]) did a review of the UVA Library:
{{quotebox|After hanging at Fashion Square and PVCC, Sonichu, the [[Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon]], decided to give the University of Virginia a try. He found the campus grounds serene and peaceful with its history, scenery and plenty of grass to rest on. He found himself educated within the libraries’ many books, and made like he was in Paris with the outdoor tables and chairs. And the “Corner” stores had an interesting selection of items from pencil sets to DVDs. He gave the UVA 5/5 Lightning Bolts of approval. Thank you UVA, for a very peaceful place to chill at in the city of Charlottesville.}}

==UVA student on Chris==
[[File:Alderman library lounge.png|right|thumb|Alderman Library. Imagine Chris here.]]
{{quotebox|So Sonichu returned to Alderman today. I am not sure what to make of him. He sits in his chair and draws his sonichu comics, harmless, i assme. Yet, I feel like he knows he's different. He knows that the world rushing in front of him is not his own. Surrounded by the "brightest" students in America, whatever that means, he sits in his chair and draws. 23 years old. I'm not sure he even [[Manchester_High_School#Graduation|graduated high school]]. In front of him texts of [[Wikipedia:Plato|Plato]], [[Wikipedia:William Faulkner|Faulkner]], [[Chris and religion|God]], and [[Wikipedia:Heinrich von Kleist|Kleist]] swirl. Does he have the capacity to understand these works? Whether he can or not, I am not sure, but their is something in his eyes that realizes that there is a level of understanding and thought that he is unable to partake in. As he slumps lower and lower in his chair with each student he eyes reading or holding a book, he falls into himself- into the markers and colors on the page in front of him. (coffee idea) He seems intelligent enough to understand that he does not understand, and that is the hardest part of all.<ref>[http://thereisbeautyin.livejournal.com/4791.html LiveJournal] 13 April 2005</ref>}}

==Fake number==
On 12 [[March 2009]], Chris talked to seven girls at Alderman Library. One of them gave him a number. "But unfortunately it was a fake... but unfortunately it was a bad number" because it was out of service. Chris was emotionally prepared for that though, since he had watched [[Wikipedia:The Strike (Seinfeld)|an episode]] of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' where [[Wikipedia:Elaine Benes|Elaine]] gives fake numbers to guys and a funny situation resulted with her wanting a free sub.<ref>[[Church audio]]</ref>

==2017 events==
[[File:Love is love 2017 1.jpg|thumb|Top left, in the white jacket.]]
Chris attended the Love is Love event on 10 February. It consisted of people wearing shirts supplied by the UVA's LGBTQ center and gathering to sing ''Good Old Song'', UVA's school anthem.<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#Attending Love is Love event]]</ref>

According to Facebook posts, he made plans to attend a date auction charity event at the campus on 9 February.<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#Attending a date auction]]</ref>

In June 2017, he attended the [[UVA Remembers Pulse]] event, where he was quoted by local news media.

[[File:Chris at UVA Remembers Pulse.jpg|At the event, wearing the Sonichu medallion and holding the [[Love is Love]] comic.|thumb]]

'''UVA Remembers Pulse''' was an event held by [[University of Virginia]] students in [[June 2017]] to pay tribute to the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting.

Chris attended, bringing with him Sonichu paraphernalia: the Medallion, a [[SLGBTQ]] Sonichu drawing, the cover page for [[Sonichu 12]], a framed photoshop drawing of Chris and his parents mingling with Sonichu characters, and a short written piece which he read during the open mic.

==News interview==
He was interviewed by the local NBC station, which quoted him in an article and on video.<ref>http://www.nbc29.com/story/35648491/uva-students-hold-memorial-service-for-pulse-nightclub-victims</ref> Incidentally, this is the same station that interviewed him about the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes]].

Chris, on the other hand, decided to write a piece on his [[Tomgirl|transgender]] identity.<ref>[[Patreon#Poetic Letter]]</ref>

[[File:Poetic Letter for UVA Remembers Pulse.jpeg|Chris read this aloud to the crowd.|thumb]]

{{quotebox|I feel for y’all, my friends, family & allies in this lifetime of ours. Lost and confused is this point of our lives where we are meant to be; where DO we belong in our local communities; with minds gone blank like a fully erased paper? We are left with the remants of what we had thought of, before impulsively lost in time. I, too, was there during the times y’all were bullied, broken, and beat up bad. The times we’ve sought for new friendships to later, maybe, find truest love from one within. And, yet our efforts were mistaken for something sordid. The love, or lack thereof, from those who raised and taught you as y’all grew up. Left with time for ourselves, we’ve searched within our own personal depths. Soon enough, we not only have found ourselves, but we three, Child, Teen, & Adult, combined, worked out our ideas, taking our time; we continues onward in our life from how we were born, towards who we are meant to be this whole lifetime. I will continue onward, the stronger soul; woman that We ARE, for being boy was a lingering downfall. Someday, I will find our destined Sweetheart & Truest Love, while feeling the Love from within; from Child, from Teen, from Me.}}
