[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 90s grad of uva. I drank wayyyy too much there, and it was exacerbated by:

the huge Greek culture as the main social scene
The idea that getting blackout drunk was somehow the norm or ok/many people doing it
My own stress I put on myself, and not knowing other ways to relax
Being a first gen college student, and not having parents warn me or understand the danger I was in.

I’m sure this craziness could have happened at another school, but uva made drinking a pretty bad situation. I have another family member by marriage that went around the same time and they had a similar experience.

I think drinking and getting into trouble with drinking at uva is avoidable, but the reputation is well deserved. [/quote]

A) that is a long time ago. [b]The caliber of student (4.57 gpa, 34 ACT) can’t party like that and do well academically. They know that so don’t party like you did.[/b]
B) you chose to go with the Greek scene. UVA frats and sororities are off campus. You can have a very full life at UzVA without once setting foot inside a Greek house.
C) you chose to get black out drunk
D) you cannot blame this on being first-gebrrstion. I was one too. I chose not to drink

Life is all about making smart choices. Thst you made bad ones is your fault, not UVA’s.

FYI UVA no longer has that reputation [/quote]

Lol, wrong.  A student of that calibre CAN party and do well academically.  It’s the lower calibre student who can’t.  [/quote]
