OP here. I really totally wish I was making this up... but since it has been mentioned enough here at DCUM, the tour guide was not lying!  (really, we were thinking she was trying to discourage us on UVA.. but then again why would a tour guide do that?)

Why indeed.[/quote]

Our UVA tour guide didn't say this so baldly, but when someone asked her 'what is the most frustrating thing about going to school here?' she did --after seeming a touch flustered by the question--say it can sometimes be hard to navigate registration and courses and you sometimes get conflicting advice about requirements.  So a more polite, subdued way of saying 'advising can suck'.  BTW I thought that was a good question to ask of tour guides--it pierced through the tour guide veneer a bit to get a more realistic response.  Personally I think every kid at a school larger than 2k is going to say something similar though--wouldn't take it as a unique problem at the school. [/quote]
