Cavalier Crossing

At Cavalier Crossing, you’ll never run out of exciting things to do in your downtime. At weekends, head off for adventures in Shenandoah National Park, or visit Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s plantation. Shop ‘til you drop at the historic Downtown Mall, which is one of the longest pedestrian shopping malls in the US and just a 10-minute drive from home. Meet friends for delicious food – try the locally-sourced food at Escafe, where you can enjoy live music as you dine. Wind up the evening with drinks at The Whiskey Jar, or admire the views from the Commonwealth rooftop bar.

At Cavalier Crossing, you’ll share a stylish apartment with two or three friends. You’ll also be within 10 minutes by car of the University of Virginia campus and Piedmont Virginia Community College, which you can reach using the private shuttle service to get to class on time. Alternatively, with free parking at Cavalier Crossing, you can bring your car to college at no extra cost.

Start your day with a workout in the 24-hour fitness center, then prepare a healthy breakfast in your well-equipped kitchen. After a filling meal, you can throw your laundry in the washer dryer before you head out.

After class, the 24-hour computer center is the perfect place to study, especially as the printing is free. Alternatively, spread out your books on the desk in your room, where you’ll have free high-speed internet to help with your research.

Take some time out from studying for a dip in the stunning resort-style swimming pool, easing your muscles in the hot tub afterwards. Soak up the rays on the sun deck, or top up your tan with free tanning indoors. When you’re feeling energetic, challenge friends to a game on the sand volleyball or basketball courts, or play ping pong or billiards instead.

When you get hungry, gather your friends together to fire up the barbecue grills for a delicious outdoor feast, or cook in your kitchen and eat at the dining table.  Afterwards, lie back on your leather-style couch and watch cable TV, while the dishwasher takes care of the clean-up.
