[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have twins at UVA so I can speak a little about the gen Ed. I can’t speak to W&M. My DS was in the engagements pathway and while he felt some of the classes were a waste of time, they were small so he met people and interesting plus pretty easy As. My DD was in disciplines and all I can say is that they are both rising second years and both basically have just a couple of gen ed classes left to complete. They probably each have maybe 1-2 classes left to complete that and their second writing requirement. It was a breeze to meet those reqs honestly, shouldn’t be a concern as long as your DC is well rounded enough to enjoy a variety of classes.  Net net is that it basically made no difference on their ability to get those requirements taken care of easily and quickly.[/quote]

UVA. also has a language gen Ed requirement of two years (unless you are in the engineering college)

Yes. But it’s rarely 2 years assuming you come in with some exp in a language. My DD had stopped Spanish in 10th and tested into the 2020 level Spanish so just had to take that one semester and done. My DS took through AP Spanish and if you get a 4 on the exam you’re exempt, he could have also tested out. He decided to try a new language though so is doing two years. [/quote]
