[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know what OP means, but I can agree that language around this needs to be more nuanced.

I think of UVA is more stereotypically guy’s guy interests, sporty, preppy and frat-oriented.

While I think of WM as having frats and having a preppy traditional vibe definitely, it is not very sporty, and it gives off more of a theater kid/ artsy English major vibe. Also there’s a reason it’s 58% female. UVA is 50-50.

my son, a pretty stereotypical guy’s guy, was turned off by the vibe and the tour, but he knows he only saw a small slice at the school.

Our WM tour guide was a gay man from Southwest Virginia, who was majoring in English and did a thesis on the Brontë sister’s  writings. Pretty much the polar opposite of my son who is very sports oriented.

it may be a moot point anyway, RD admissions don’t come out until later this month!

Omg. You don't judge a college by its tour guides.  We have had similar tour guides even at big party schools.[/quote]
