[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has all the problems of a large public university which are significant and impact virtually all of the top publics.

The main advantage of UVA is in-state tuition.

Compared to peer institutions, like Univ of Florida, UVA remains competitive.[/quote]

I would take a top public over a middling private any day of the week. The “problems” are vastly overstated, especially around here.[/quote]

Oversized classes, difficulty enrolling in classes, large lecture learning formats and reliance on TAs.  It is just limited resources that include advising and everything else.[/quote]
You're right. Self reliance is a must. No hand holding. [/quote]

It’s more than just no hand holding.  It is a [b]lower quality education [/b]with less career advising and supports.[/quote]
How so?[/quote]

Fewer graded assignments, less direct discussion with the professor, less high-quality class time, like small group discussions with the professor, instead of large lectures and TAs, difficulty getting to know the professors and getting letters of rec.  The classes are just overall lower quality.[/quote]
