For University first years of the past, finding a phone number for a late-night pizza delivery or a place to get a haircut required some digging.
For 2004's first years, finding their way around was no problem, thanks to the early release of the Hook Book.
The comprehensive Charlottesville and University resource guide, published by Student Council, was handed out earlier than ever this year.
In the past, the Hook Book has been passed out as late as two months after the start of classes.
New students received this year's version at orientation meetings during their first week at the University.
"We wanted to get it out as soon as possible to have it available for first years and transfer students," said Kimberly Jones, co-chair of a newly formed Council committee focused on the Hook Book.
