[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not as ridiculous as UVA grads, who went to THE university, period.  [/quote]

Huh, I've literally never heard anyone say this...[/quote]

+1 and I’m an alum![/quote]

I am from Richmond, and I’ve heard of alums calling UVA the University my entire life.  Also, when they’re on “the grounds” of “THE university” they feel so at home being around all the other wahoos.  Even Duke doesn’t call themself The University, and Duke is pretty pretentious.[/quote]

Huh. I've literally never heard people doing this, and I def don't think it's "the grounds" regardless. You sound weirdly fired up though...did you not get in or something? [/quote]

PP alum here again. I guess we refer to it as “the University” when talking to others at UVA. Shorter than saying the full name perhaps? What I meant is that people don’t go around calling UVA the University like OSU’ers do. Also, yes, we call it the Grounds and not campus. It’s just school logo and not meant to sound prententipjs or anything, LOL. [/quote]

No one calls OSU the university. You all don't have to work at sounding pretentious. It is baked in and just flows out without effort. [/quote]
