Students are getting ready to return to Charlottesville and the University of Virginia — but not for class. Midsummers, an unofficial tradition, brings students from UVa and other nearby colleges together for a weekend of festivities in Charlottesville: packed bars, booming parties at fraternity houses and plenty more. UVa does not host, organize or sanction any parties this weekend, said university spokesman Brian Coy. But the school is aware of the events.
