[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1960s, Michigan and Wisconsin were prestigious.  Not sure about UVA.  Oddly we hear little about it in historic accounts of the campus activism of that time.[/quote]

UVA was still all-male in the 1960s.  They would have been quite different types of schools then.[/quote]

Wait, what?   UVA didn't admit women in the 1960's??? This alone should disqualify it from prestigious lists, are you serious???[/quote]

Are you familiar with the Ivy League's teack record?

Good point... Sorry, I'm from UW-Madison, which people are trashing on here, and while also has admitted women since the 1860s, so it just wasn't even in my frame of reference that these prestigious schools would have been so backward.  I'll take my "OK" State School, thanks ;) [/quote]
