[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago UVa released a strategic plan with the goal of becoming the top public university in the USA and one of the top universities in the world by 2030. In the past years the school has been slipping in rankings and has fallen to the T5 public, and ranked somewhere between 24-27. Very recently the university opened the School of Data Science, which could bump up CS programs.

Do you think UVa can turn around the decline or will it keep falling lower and lower? The grad law school and business school are very highly ranked but the undergrad is not. [/quote]

I think it'll keep falling lower and lower.  Before you know it, no one will want to attend UVA for ANYTHING.  I don't know why they are bothering to build the School of Data Science; should have spent the money demolishing some of the existing buildings since pretty soon no one will want to go there.  And don't get me started on Charlottesville, what an awful place to attend college.  That is why my DCs decided to say no thanks to their UVA offers of admission (honestly, I am not sure why they even bothered to apply - I refused to pay the application fees) and went to Liberty instead.[/quote]

This is hilarious. Charlottesville…what a dump.  [/quote]

UVa campus is gorgeous and Charlottesville is charming. My kid is thrilled to be attending UVa this fall. Very popular choice at kid’s very large high school. I’m sorry your kid did not get in. [/quote]

"Grounds" not campus.[/quote]
