[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 pages and nobody can tell me something good about UVA besides the campus and the sports?[/quote]

PP who doesn't want her kids going there: There are some great professors and many of the students are smart, engaged, interesting people.[/quote]

You can say that about JMU too.

What makes UVA stand out? Does it have some special programs that anybody can talk about?[/quote]

I would say that there isn't a magic answer that is going to resonate with you. What's special about any school, save very narrow ones, is often a mishmash of the people, the facilities, and the offerings. UVa is no exception (nor is it somehow special): it has a wonderful reputation for being a place where serious students work hard and play hard. Many kids there (obviously not all) are passionate about what they're studying, are extroverts, and end up getting in to great jobs and grad schools. Sure, a bunch of it's programs are very highly ranked and its a well-ranked school, but there isn't anything that's going to be tangible enough for you to show why people like it. Maybe different things appeal to different people? Can't you accept that?[/quote]
