Is UVA really more of a party school than other big state colleges?

JMU comes the closest.

UVA and VA Tech are only "party schools" for the very wealthiest who attend.


Such a strange comment - and incorrect.


Not strange, the wealthy kids who are admitted can afford to join the Greek system and party to their heart's content mostly without repercussion. The more serious students tend to be more serious.

JMU has more middle class party kids.

According to my nephews--recent grads at UVA, Tech and JMU--JMU is the most ridiculous party school of the 3.


I have two JMU grads. This is not accurate. There is certainly a party scene at JMU, but it's nowhere near as ridiculous as UVA.


+1

NP here. Of all the UVA grads I know persoanlly (f which there are many), the first thing they mention is the parties.



Strange. My UVA kid was a serious student and never mentioned any parties. But he wasn’t Greek.



It's so cute that you think your kid would discuss parties with you.

Yeah, i knew the moment I posted something like this (which is true, we are a very close family) a jerk like you, who has nothing else to offer here, would come along and say that. Not true. And UVA kid got into Oxford for grad work so did something right at UVA and it was not partying.


Oh, I should have known! It's the Oxford poster. Good grief, how many times have you repeated this?



Odd that you don't know how many UVA kids are at Oxford. UVA is the no. 1 public producer of Rhodes Scholars after West Point. It's no. 8 after the Ivies and West Point.



OMG, you never fail us. Thank you for regurgitating yet another of your posts for the millionth time. INSUFFERABLE.

Wrong on all counts, but do continue to pull BS claims out of your back pocket.
