[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a third year at UVA.  Neither my husband or myself attended there (both went to other colleges not in VA).  My daughter likes it just fine, but it's definitely not an ideal school for everyone.  Academically, I think it's pretty challenging, but she went to an academically challenging private high school so she's handling the workload just fine.  But, it is a tough place to socially adjust.  
I do think it gets a lot of hate on here and other DC chat boards for a variety of reasons:  maybe you've met someone who seems "too proud" of their UVA alumni status (although for me some of the nicest people I know went to UVA), maybe you're upset your kid didn't get in (I would have been perfectly fine with my daughter at a different school but some people do seem to be very bitter that UVA didn't take their kid), maybe you hate the colors navy and orange together.....
It's a great school at a great value to in-state residents (although we are very fortunate that we could afford to send our daughter anywhere in the country), but there are a lot of great schools.  The best school is the one your child fits in best academically and socially.  [/quote]
