7 New Additions to the University of Richmond Campus This Year

As we know, the Richmond campus is constantly changing. From simple things last year like adding yellow Gatorade in Dhall, to bigger things such as the renovation of Thomas and Jeter Dorms, we can look forward to major and minor modifications to our campus every year.

Queally Center for Admissions and Career Services

This 54,000 square feet, 3-story-tall giant popped up over the summer and it's breathtaking, like every other building on campus. This facility is basically the "front door" of campus and is the first major building visitors will see when they pull onto campus. It houses five departments: Admissions, Financial Aid, Registrar, Bursar and Career Services, as well as a banquet hall. The building is nearly complete and its architectural artistry is worth a walk through and look around.

Speed Bumps

The speed bumps are a seemingly minor addition, but an annoying obstacle for those of us driving on campus. The school removed all of the speed bumps on campus for the UCI Road World Championships last school year, and this year the speedbumps are back with reprisal. The road leading from the intramural tennis courts, past the International Center and down to the lake is abounding with way too many speed bumps.

Traffic Patterns

Like the speed bumps, the traffic patterns are a seemingly minor change unless you have a car on campus. They've added turn lanes next to the intramural tennis courts that lead off campus. They've also added a stop sign at the intersection behind the Business School and removed the yield sign from the other side of the intersection. Major moves people.

Open Road in Front of Gray

Finally, after having to circumvent the campus due to construction on North, they've reopened the road in front of Gray. So now you can get an Uber at night directly in front of the building instead of having to walk a few meters in the all-encompassing Richmond dark.

Mongolian Grill

In an effort to accommodate students with gluten allergies, the Dhall staff has started distributing the noodles separate from the rest of the food.

Dhall Prices

Textbook prices are rising, but our Dhall prices are doing quite the opposite. Shockingly, Richmond has lowered the price of something for its students. To students without a meal plan: Dhall has reduced its prices this year. So throw out your packaged ramen and head to the dining hall for fancy ramen.

Waffle Maker

Our beloved Dhall waffle maker that stamps our signature spider mascot on it has been replaced with a regular old waffle maker. Are we peasants or something?

University of Richmond is boasting some new showy buildings and speed bumps this year, so be sure to check it all out!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
