[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original question was "Is UVA a prestigious college?" The definition of prestige through Google is: Widespread respect and admiration felt for someone or something on the basis of a perception of their achievements or quality. "he experienced a tremendous increase in prestige following his victory" Using this definition, the word "widespread" is perhaps the biggest question mark. [/quote] It is a fine definition. Using it, I think "perception of achievements or quality" is the biggest question. Quality is entirely relative and often subjective. If we mean quality in line with other R1 AAU universities, then no doubt I agree. But, the UVA boosters seem to insist on trying to hold themselves above others in that category. It is funny, because I have sided with them when they are arguing with the "only Ivies will do" crowd. Then they turn around with he same elitist drivel directed at other excellent state universities.[/quote]
