[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA.

My family was not supportive of a liberal arts education. They wanted a more practical degree, such as business or engineering, but they agreed to pay for UVA because the options were there. I read another poster who thought Swarthmore was too intense, but that environment would have been better for me.

Most students were working towards law or med school at the time, and I felt a little lost in the frat/sorority social system. I had some great teachers, but I felt like a fish out of water (wahoo!) and finding a career path wasn't easy. I also attended an incredibly diverse high school. The lack of diversity, and the lack of appreciation for how someone from another culture could view the same problem, was difficult. It's been decades since I attended though.

UVA is excellent in business so your point is not very well taken. [/quote]

ALSO “most students” do not work towards law or Med” at UVA. There are enormous career options like teaching, nursing, Econ, engineering, liberal arts, etc[/quote]
