[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA culture. Hmmm.

[b]Part middle class nova kid plus old money southern kid plus urm kid from all 50 states.

Add in preppy and fratty. Add in competitive academically. Add in a ton of beer and bourbon. [/b]

Add in great soccer, swimming, softball and lacrosse teams, inconsistent basketball teams, and a football team that can be ahead by 21 points but lose the game more times than I can count.

[b]I’m proud to have gone there but I developed a bad relationship with alcohol and dating/ hookup culture that it took me years to overcome. [/b]Could have happened at any d1 party school but I think UVA’s fraternity and drinking culture is especially toxic.

People do think I, smart and add IQ points when I say I went there though. [/quote]

This is accurate (except you forget the old money Northerners/NYC/boarding school contingency), and I developed that same bad relationship that took me a long time to get a handle on.

I think UVA works well for kids with the right combo of looks/money/connections to get the best out the Greek system, or the kids with enough confidence/smarts/self-respect to know they want no part of that. The floaters in between can have the hardest time socially.[/quote]
