[quote=Anonymous]Here is a student review from niche.com

I am actually transferring from the Virginia Military Institute to the University of Virginia. Next year will be my first year at UVA and I am very excited because I hear UVA has amazing academics. My academic experience at VMI was challenging. If you haven't heard of VMI, it is a military college located in Lexington, Virginia. The first seven months at VMI, you go through something called the "rat line". During this seven-month period, you are pushed to the limits both mentally and physically. Personally, the real challenge wasn't the exhausting workouts or being yelled at for hours on end. It was actually balancing my academics that really challenged me. For example, I remember having to be up every morning between 5:00am-6:00am for mandatory workouts or formations and then having to take a huge test or go to a full day of classes right after. It was really hard to balance academics with being in the constant state of the "rat line", but I finished the semester with a 3.59 GPA![/quote]
