Uraian Tempat

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia began its existence in 1825 as the School of Moral Philosophy, one of several schools established by the University's founder, Thomas Jefferson. Graduate programs at the University were established in the late 19th century, and the Ph.D. in Philosophy was first offered in 1880. Throughout its history, the Department has offered courses in most of the major areas of philosophy: ethics, logic, metaphysics, theory of knowledge, political philosophy, and history of philosophy. Its traditional strengths have been in the fields of ethics and history of philosophy, but in recent years the Department has built up strengths in such areas as political philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and metaphysics.

The University of Virginia requires all incoming first year undergraduate students to live on-grounds. Alderman Road Residence area consists of 11 houses, accommodating over 1300 residents. Eight of the buildings are suite-style, with five double (some triple) bedrooms, totaling 9-11 residents per suite. Each suite shares a spacious common living area and a bathroom. The suite area provides a location for study that doesn't disturb a sleeping roommate, or a place to hang out with friends. The suite opens out to a balcony. The other three buildings have hallway-style double rooms. The University also offers a number of different residence styles and locations for upper class students. Apartments, single bedrooms in a suite arrangement, residential colleges, and language houses provide a wide variety of experiences for student living.
