You need to do more than the crowded 90 min tour. Remember it’s a public school and it doesn’t track internet because UVAdoesn’t have the resources to throw a lot at tracking interest or running tours. If you go, remember it’s a World UNESCO site and plan well out in advance what you want to tour:the Rotinda, Poe’s room, the lawn, the grad schools, if your child is interested, the museums. Go to the particular college your child is interested (we called ahead to head of department to set up a private interview and tour of the College); tour the career center; take the historical tours; go to the mall for dinner; go to the corner for lunch: ask students from your kids’ high school to take them out and show them the town or stay overnight in their room. Don’t just buzz in and expect to get everything from a 90 min tour. With public school you need to be more resourceful and not be sponges. They don’t need you. You need them[/quote]

Oh lord, the UVA booster is in overdrive.  We did most of the things you listed and came away underwhelmed too.  It's definitely not for everyone.
