University of Virginia

The University founded by Thomas Jefferson inCharlottesville, VA during the time of the ex-president's "retirement", which lasted from 1809-1826. The University's original campus (including the original dormitories and iconic rotunda) was designed by Jefferson personally in 1817. In addition, many famous people have attended the University, including Edgar Allan Poe, who spent a short time studying there, during which he meet Thomas Jefferson. Unfortunately, the University's Library has the negative fame of being one of Chris' former favorite attraction locations

Chris would spend time in the Alderman Library, playing his DS in the cafe, in hopes of attracting a boyfriend-free girl to be his sweetheart.

Sonichu on UVA

In Sonichu's News Dash #5, "Sonichu" (read: Chris) did a review of the UVA Library:

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.
