[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from the west coast and honestly had someone told me they went to the University of Virginia I would have reacted the same way as if they'd gone to the University of Oregon or the University of Arizona.

Now that I have been here over a decade, I get it, it's super prestigious and incredibly hard to get into.

Please explain to me why it is so prestigious, and why if my kid gets in, they should automatically take it (cost not a factor). My spouse is pushing it hard. I would never say this out loud, [b]but to me it feels like all the smartest kids at all the northern Virginia schools go to UVA, making it a place of sharp elbows.[/b] I've heard it's hard to even join clubs there because everything is so competitive. Tell me why it is a great school - are the professors great? Campus seems fine to me, but I have seen prettier. What makes it so much better than other state universities? I get the William and Mary thing because it's this small, public liberal arts school.

I don't want to start a huge argument. Please just educate me on what makes UVA so strong. Why do your kids who go there love it? What do they love about it that is unique to UVA?[/quote]

The smartest kids in NOVA do not all go to UVA and having smart kids does not make it necessarily make it a place with sharp elbows.[/quote]

Lots of smart kids in NOVA choosing out of state flagships that have more to offer than uva.[/quote]

Like where?[/quote]

Do you live under a rock or are you drunk on UVA punch? Look around [/quote]

Np. You need to look around and stop with the UVA hate punch. You are so obvious. [/quote]
