[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employers? N[b]o chance. Many confederate flags in and around C’ville. Are UVA grads struggling with the association?[/b] Same for many southern schools. Part of a weird problem but hardly unique to Lexington. Lexington is a very cute little town, ignorant yahoos aside, and immediately adjacent to the campus.[/quote]

Not at all.  I know both W&L and UVA.  W&L has Lee's horse, for heaven's sake!  It truly is Southern, as are its sororities and frats.  I do not understand its attraction.  UVA on the other hand attracts students from all over the world.  Confederate flags would never be tolerated.  [b]The University is cosmopolitan and international[/b].  You can't even begin to equate the two.[/quote]

L[b]ol....you're delusional.  With 70% of students coming from VA it is very hard to be cosmopolitan and international.  [/quote][/b]

No, you are. By your logic then, with 80% of Berkeley's students coming from California there would be a lack of cosmopolitan feeling?  Have you ever been to Charlottesville? Or walked the grounds? 67% are Virginians but that includes a class with 35% minority and 10% first generation students. It also includes a new push for low-income students so you have Virginians from all walks of life and all sorts of backgrounds, including the Virginians who went to private boarding schools. Then there are the Jefferson Scholars.  Also students from all 50 states and faculty, staff and students from 183 countries.  In addition to the undergrads, there are 7,705 graduate students from all over the country and world in the law school, med school, business school, etc. [/quote]

I don't think you understand what cosmopolitan actually means. And when only 5% of students come from outside of the US it's laughable to call it international.  [/quote]
