Yup uva grads appear to have chip on their shoulders pretending as if they graduated from top 10 university when in fact they graduated from a good public university. Insufferables.

Not true, plenty of us just don’t prefer public schools.

This is incredibly ignorant. You probably couldn’t tell the difference between public & private colleges if your life depended on it.

Totally false for my kids in the college if arts and sciences. The professors teach and then they have discussion sections led by PhD students. My kids have had some amazing professors.

It’s really just a state school that only really matters to people in the DMV.

Sure. That’s why it receives 10s of thousands of out of state applications per year.

It's overrated because VA parents need to feel like their kids didn't miss out on something better by going in state/not getting in anywhere better.

UVA is on par with U of Florida. That is their closest peer.

None. The people making these comments are morons and don’t know anything about how rampant cheating is in college across the board.
