<p>did you just go today? because classes started this week and it’s been cold and disgusting and I can say I haven’t been in the greatest of moods. And the rain may have played a bigger role than you think. Weather tends to affect people’s moods, and it’s been miserable. Also, it was the first Thursday of class so people were also hurrying to make sure they weren’t late and such. I think if you go later, it’ll be more relaxed. But also remember that UVa is a school known for academics and so there are many students here that are serious about their work and they stay in that mode even when they go from class to class. People are serious when they need to be and they’re relaxed when they need to be. So, to summarize my confusing post, today wasn’t the best day to visit and the atmosphere isn’t usually this dark and dank (like a school that starts with har and ends with vard ;)).</p>
