[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also went to UVa.

For me, it was too southern, too traditional, and too Greek. Also, I did not know how to manage my stress as well as I do now, so the rampant binge drinking culture was very bad for me.

That said, I love my roommates and friends from there, I got a good job and career afterward, and people are generally impressed when I say I went there. I also learned a ton.

I only want my kids to go if they can understand how Greek and how alcoholic it is. I’m going to talk more openly about it than my parents did. My parents are clueless.

I can’t tell how bad the drinking culture would have been for me at another school, but I have a feeling, not as bad. [/quote]

It’s only 30 percent Greek. My son didn’t participate and never once set foot on Greek row. There are over 900 clubs to choose from. Also he stayed sane in the alcohol issue.  If you kid is going to go crazy Greek and is prone to alcohol abuse you, as parent, can’t do much about it. It is present on every campus.[/quote]
