tip: since in the US you need to be 21 to drink and 18 to purchase cigarettes, people at clubs and in shops will card you if you buy such items. If you dont wanna carry your passport with you the whole time and risk losing it, you can go to the DMV with a few documents and get an Virginia ID issued. Also, the food at the dining hall, at least for italian standards, isnt good. I did a lot of cooking which was a great bonding experience and a great mean of cultural exchange with my international friends!
